She Said YES in Costa Rica

James wanted to propose to Brandi in Costa Rica. Unbeknownst to Brandi, James and I planned the proposal. I hid behind a bush while James got down on one knee and asked Brandi to marry while I caught the moment. Afterwards we headed to the amazing and picturesque La Fortuna Waterfalls for their engagement photos.

The Flapper & The Fly Boy at the Juice Joint

Amanda and Sam love the vintage look so we found a location in Ventura, CA. The Watermark on Main is a restaurant that is housed in a building that was built in the 1920s. It has a speakeasy look that was perfect for the shoot.

I cannot wait to photograph their wedding at a winery in Temecula in November!

Sisar Canyon Engagement Shoot

Barb & John wanted to incorporate their horses (Darius and Pharlap) into their engagement shoot. Darius the white horse just loved the camera and patiently posed. Pharlap on the other hand was quite stubborn but in the end he was fine too. The location (Sisar Canyon, Ojai) was quite spectacular with a canopy of oak trees, a running creek and boulders.

Stephanie and Brian - El Matador State Beach

Stephanie is a California native however Brian is from Virginia so they wanted a "California" photo shoot and what better location than El Matador State Beach.

The wedding took place on new year's day in Ojai in a quaint chapel and then at Azu restaurant.

Into the Woods

Rocky Oaks

Malibu, CA

Ambrosia and Jeremy are a unique couple so we decided to shoot their engagement shoot at a location that suited their look. I found this amazing location in Malibu that was just the right fit for them.

When we arrived at Rocky Oaks, it was fairly overcast and dreary but as soon as we started to shoot, the light was so magical. Rays of light were shooting through the oak trees and cast several mystical colored beams that I was able to capture with my lens.

I am shooting their wedding on Halloween at a gothic mansion in Ojai which truly fits their style. I am sure it is going to be a one of a kind event and I cannot wait to shoot it!
