Belmond El Encanto Wedding // Ashley & Justin
Ashley & Justin’s wedding will forever be a memorable one for us. Firstly, it was our first wedding back from our maternity & paternity leave after our second baby girl was born earlier this year. It was also our first wedding back with no restrictions after the rollercoaster pandemic year. After so much downtime, micro-weddings, and elopements, it was a shock in the absolute BEST way to be around a large group of people again, seeing everyone enjoy a meal together at one giant table, and best of all.. DANCING!!

Angeles National Forest Engagements // Shannon & Chad
Reflecting on this warm summer evening with Shannon & Chad and what a dreamy shoot it was! This was one of our first full sessions coming out of quarantine last summer. After months of postponements, I remember how nice it felt to be shooting again and how lovely it felt to be around other adults besides each other. We had the best time with these two rays of sunshine and their sweet pup, Eloise. And the best part, we had the entire area to ourselves!

Colorful Spring Wedding at La Arboleda // Brooke & Bill
One year ago today, we were capturing Brooke & Bill’s colorful, bohemian, wine-country wedding at La Arboleda! We love shooting at this venue because the bride and groom get access to the property for the entire weekend. There are no strict rules about arrival and departure times so the bridal party stays on the property. This allows for an environment that is super relaxed and calm. Who wouldn’t love a wedding day that starts this way?

Crystal Cove State Park Elopement // Muffy & Jarred
Muffy & Jarred traveled all the way from Florida for their sweet little elopement in Newport Beach this past March. In some ways, their special day feels like yesterday and in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago with all that has gone on in the world in such a short time. Muffy and Jarred arrived in California just in time before the COVID restrictions were set in place.

Lake Placid Wedding at the Whiteface Club & Resort // Ashley & Derek
This wedding was SUCH a special one! Geoff and I had the pleasure of traveling to the epic summer spot of Lake Placid, New York for Ashley and Derek’s big day. Lake Placid is about 1.5 hours from the Canadian border in the Adirondack Mountains. It was no easy feat to get to from Southern California and I’d be lying if I said we weren’t a little nervous about traveling across the country with our 5 month old at the time.
