I had so much fun with Cari and Jared during their Laguna Beach engagement session!  I’m running out of words to describe my engagement shoots, but I always leave them so full and excited about my clients! It’s such a great way for us to just get to know each other, and for me as an artist to develop that relationship of trust; to be allowed into the most intimate moments of my client’s lives! These two are just beautiful, fun loving and down to earth. I am so super excited for their Palm Springs wedding at the AMAZING Korakia Pensione hotel. The Korakia Pensione has been named one of the sexiest hotels in America, making it a perfect match for these two!

Diana & Mo are that kind of couple you can’t help but love!  More than just being INCREDIBLY adorable, these two have that kind of love that just radiates around them, and made me smile all day as we tromped around Orange County for their Laguna Beach engagement session.  This shoot was a beautiful reminder for me, in such a crazy busy time, of how much I love what I do!! What a privilege to be allowed to document so many different love stories.  This one is definitely going to have a “happily ever after” ending for sure!!  Thanks Diana & Mo for such a fun day…I am positive your Spanish Hills Country Club wedding is going to be absolutely amazing!!

What an amazing time I had with these two!  Alina & Shawn wanted to do a Laguna Beach engagement shoot because Laguna is one of their hangout spots.  I love shooting in new locations. Orange County in the house! And it’s even better when it’s a super adorable, adventurous couple like Alina & Shawn; down for just about anything. Alina was such a trooper, at one point even rock climbing in her gorgeous heels! I can’t wait for their upcoming Bay Area wedding at a beautiful estate overlooking the Pacific in Half Moon Bay!! Stay tuned…

Meet Joanna & her sweet daughter Maddy! So Joanna set this shoot up to surprise Daddy, who is overseas serving our country….just an incredible wife & mom!!  It was such an honor & privilege to capture these special memories for them at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. Here are few of my faves…
