Featured On Every Last Detail: All White Floral Wedding in Los Angeles
As an entrepreneur, it can be really easy to get caught up in the task list; there's always something that needs to get done and it can be overwhelming.

One such moment came last week when I heard that my favorite wedding blog Every Last Detail featured one of our 2019 clients! Thank You Every Last Detail team! ❤️ Ambar and...

Walt Disney Concert Hall DTLA Photo Shoot
I'm pretty sure it's no secret at this point that I LOVE working as a photographer. I love that photography gives me a creative outlet to enjoy, a gift I can share with others and the coolest thing about photography is that there are SO MANY facets and genres.

My second favorite is photographing engagement sessions and anniversary shoots. Lately, I've had a...
Los Angeles River Center and Gardens
From time to time I enjoy associate shooting with some of my fellow photography friends. While I enjoy being a primary shooter for my clients it can also be a lot of fun to photograph the wedding day from a second shooter perspective or alternate angle. A few months back I had the opportunity to tag along with Gary Coelho Photography & Pixel Perfect Wedding Films as a secondary photographer on a wedding at the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens in Los Angeles, CA. As always, it was...

Candles and simple flower vases adorned each of the long banquet tables. After...
Family Portraits Griffith Observatory
A little over a month ago I met up with the Miranda family at Griffith Observatory in Hollywood for their family portrait session. We spent the afternoon exploring the grounds, taking turns telling silly jokes and creating fun images for their home. At the end of the session we worked our way down the hill and took a few more images from a nearby look out spot where you could see the observatory from a distance. Scroll on to see a few of my favorites from the session: ...

Intimate Pacific Palisades Wedding | Roy & Lorena
Roy and Lorena wanted to keep their wedding day simple and family oriented. They chose a beautiful, private residence in the Pacific Palisades to host under 50 guests for their special day.

Like many of those present, I found myself holding back tears as they promised to love and cherish each other for eternity. There's no doubt in my mind that Lorena and Roy are the perfect match. Here's a few of my favorite moments...
