Backyard Wedding and South Coast Botanic Garden
Full attention was given to detail for this beautiful, intimate wedding held at a private residence followed by bridal portraits at the gorgeous South Coast Botanic Garden. Tracy and Michael met during their employment at a gardening super store which made the backyard of their home and the SCB Garden perfect locations to pay homage to their romantic beginnings and marital union. They worked tirelessly to bring their special day together and I am beyond grateful that I was asked to be a part of it! xoxo

Lace, light, and a whole lotta love went into this boho bridal styled shoot in Seal Beach. A big shout out to Cassandra Richardson who modeled and helped style this session!

Los Angeles Wedding and Quiet Canyon Reception
This beautiful L.A. June Wedding was brimming with tender moments; misty eyes, warm embraces, and heartfelt sentiments. Two favorite moments came when the speeches were given at the reception. The groom, a non-Spanish speaker, prepared a message in Spanish, the bride’s native language. I caught a few words, but the bride’s expression spoke volumes! So much LOVE! The brother of the bride also spoke and shared that the only tears the groom has caused are tears of joy! I am so happy for this sweet couple and so grateful I got to be a part of their special day! xoxo
Many thanks to the amazing team who helped bring this wedding to life…

Los Angeles Wedding and Reception at The Aquarium of the Pacific
If you are planning a wedding and are looking for a fabulous space, hands down, let it be The Aquarium of the Pacific! I am still dreaming about Adam and Angelique’s choice of reception venue! The wedding took place at the Los Angeles LDS Temple, followed by a drive southward the the Aquarium in Long Beach. Their guests got to explore the Aquarium for an hour before reception festivities began. They were even treated to an educational talk about the resident sea otters! Those furry little guys put smiles on everybody’s faces! These two truly made their special day one to remember on so many levels! Not only did they throw an awesome party, but most importantly, they made sacred promises to each other that have the power to bind them for eternity. Here is a glimpse. Enjoy. 🙂 xoxo
Los Angeles LDS Temple Wedding
I’m so excited to be able to feature Lindsay and Mike’s wedding day! Their ceremony took place at the LDS temple in L.A., followed by a yummy dessert bar and tons of dancing in Mike’s hometown of Lancaster. I was especially fond of all the beautiful details they incorporated into their day! Lindsay’s tiara and the guys’ cuff links were top of my list! Thank you for your patronage! I had a blast photographing all the fun! May love fill your days and nights always!
Los Angeles LDS Wedding and Wilson Golf Course Reception
The first word that comes to mind when I think of Bianca and Jared’s wedding is COLOR! Talk about a sensational summer synthesis of fuschia, gold, orange, and royal blue! Bianca and Jared, you two are adorable together! It truly was a pleasure to work with you and your families! There are so many memorable moments and details… At the ring ceremony, one of the couple’s friends serenaded them with John Legend’s ‘All of Me’. It was beautiful! Bianca’s mom is an event planner– her reception decor was incredible! The guest Flamenco dancers and the food were amazing too! I loved the entire day from start to finish! Thank you so much for hiring me to be a part of it!
Los Angeles Wedding with Stephanie and Daniel
Stephanie and Daniel, wherever you are right now, know that I’m giving you both a big hug! It was a joy to work with you and be a part of your special day! Your ceremony was full of beautiful symbolism, anticipation and love, and your reception was a blast! Thank you for a memorable day. Here are some of my favorite images, the unity candle being my favorite shot of the day! Please enjoy! XOXO 🙂
One of my favorite images of all time!!
Los Angeles Wedding Portraits
I was introduced to my beautiful friend Michele on the grounds of the Los Angeles LDS Temple where we were both volunteers. Little did I know, a couple years later she would be asking me to photograph her wedding day. Michele is one of the most optimistic women I have ever met. She’s spunky, fun, and her energy never seems to stop! She is a wonderful example of what it means to be comfortable and happy in your own skin independent of external circumstances and influence. When we first met, she was on a mission to enjoy life and meet new friends. Finding her future husband was somewhere in the mix too….
Then David entered the picture…. literally.
This is the spot where David purposed to Michele.
My favorite shot of the day!
