Alicia & Johan are beautiful…inside and out. They are also madly in love which makes my job super easy. We had such a great time together during their Mission San Juan Capistrano Engagement Session. I love all of the textures and depth that this Mission has to offer. I met Alicia & Johan through Alicia’s wonderful family…you may remember her beautiful sister from Natalie’s engagement session last year. Alicia & Johan are getting married later this year at the gorgeous Nooitgedacht Estate (try pronouncing that one) in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Stellenbosch is a picturesque town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for their South African wedding. Can’t wait to share it with you…xo

I love it when a couple is just willing to go with the flow!  We thought we were going to shoot in the vineyards of Los Olivos, but here’s a little secret…the vineyards are more like rows of sticks in the winter. Thankfully, we had a gorgeous Southern California winter day, and we just rolled on down to Santa Barbara for the rest of our shoot. I adore Kara & Chris, and we had such a fun day together. I’m so excited for their Rancho Dos Pueblos Summer Wedding!

I love it so much when a couple thinks outside of the box, and wants to get creative with our time together! Melissa & Scott are definitely one of those couples! They told me right from the start that they didn’t want to do a typical engagement shoot, and that they’d much rather get all dressed up in their wedding attire, and do a more sophisticated session. My kind of clients! We hit the Viceroy in Santa Monica and Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, and had such a great time. I just love these two for their sweet love, amazing style and quiet sophistication. Stay tuned for pics from their Adamson House Malibu wedding, which was every bit as beautiful and non-traditional!!

I first met Estineh three years ago when I photographed her sister Sevana’s wedding. Estineh actually discovered us online, and told her sister about us before she was even engaged! I just love this family, and I’m so excited to be a part of Estineh & Matt’s September wedding at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs! I had so much fun with these two during our engagement shoot at the Standard Hotel, and exploring the city near their Downtown Los Angeles loft. Here are a few of my favorites of this beautiful couple!

Angel and Will are so sexy, sophisticated and completely head over heels for each other! Will flew in from Chicago to meet us in Nashville on a very rainy weekend ,and even though we couldn’t reschedule…love prevailed! The sweet love these two had for each other shed so much light on an otherwise very dreary day. I can’t wait to be a part of their beautiful Chicago wedding this fall!

I had so much fun spending the day with Mariana & Chris. What I love most about these two is how much they adore each other. They were so sweet and affectionate together…it was almost as if I wasn’t even there. That’s when the magic happens. Mariana also just happens to have the most incredible, infectious smile! I actually found myself smiling going through their images. Here’s a little sneak of our recent Los Angeles engagement. I’m so excited for their upcoming Summer wedding at Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral. One thing I know for sure…there’ll be plenty of love and laughter to go around!
