For a couple who found love again at 72 years old… this was a line in the first email the bride sent me in her inquiry and it touched my heart! I just love these stories and I have been able to photograph a few “love knows no age limit” couples in my career and I always adore them! For them to get married again means so much, they have lived life, they have love and lost, they have overcome, and to find love again now means they know it’s depth and richness. It is a beautiful thing to witness and document and I am so blessed by the opportunities!

Now that the whirlwind of my wedding is over it’s time to get back to telling some of the amazing stories of my clients!

and I talked on the phone and worked out a game plan to surprise for a proposal! Emily is a hard one to surprise so Eric wanted to throw her way off and have her do a modeling session with me on a day that he was out “camping with his friends”. So through the help of friends, some fake emails from me about a model call, and Eric actually packing and leaving to stay with a friend while supposedly camping, we got her! And it was so well worth it! I love the genuine reactions from proposals and it was so beautiful to document these two! 🤩

Part two of their session will come but enjoy the proposal journey of this wonderful couple!!!

Going on two weeks being married and we just got back from our Jamaican honeymoon and I feel so blessed 🥲❤️ I am so excited that I committed to stand by for the rest of our lives and that we get to focus on building our future together. It has been a beautiful adventure up until this point and I know marriage is the next new chapter in our adventure book! ❤️

Nick, you are my best friend and I love living life with you ❤️ Each new part of our journey has just brought us closer through the ups and downs and the good and the bad. You, me, and Jesus have gone through it all. I am so thankful God brought you into my life all those years ago and reconnected us when the time was right ❤️ God knew His perfect timing for our story and the people we would grow into so we could support one another today ❤️ You are my Ironman, who pushes through the hard, defys the odds, and perseveres when the going gets tough. You show me what patience and strength and looks like in how you live and race. You give your all and I will remain your cheerleader through this life ❤️❤️❤️ You are my safe space, the one with whom my tears are held and loved and my heart is tenderly cared for. You are my details to my get it done, my slow down to my go go go, my rest to my push through, my reminder that life will pass us by if we don’t pause to take it in. You are my romantic who woos my heart and wins me over every day. From date nights to special thoughtful touches on ordinary days, you show me I am worth pursuing ❤️❤️❤️
Your heart for pursuing God and loving others always stands out to me, and I love seeing how much you love and care. Your laugh brightens my day every day, and my heart still melts at your smile ❤️ Thank you for loving me like you do, and I can’t wait to see what else this adventure has in store for us!

Nick and I really debating not having a wedding and just eloping but we knew we had so many wonderful people who have been a part of our journey both individually and together and our heart was to share in that day with them ❤️ Even then there were so many others we wanted to include but because of budget and space we could not. So know we still love you!!!! 😘 But we are so grateful for the people who came and poured into us and danced the day away with us!! It was great seeing people from our different walks of life all gathered together in one space ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us and to those who wanted to come but couldn’t ❤️❤️❤️❤️ we love you all!

Almost time for our greatest adventure yet!!! 💍❤️🔔 This engagement season has been a whirlwind with lots of peaks and valleys that we have needed to navigate through. It has been extra hard doing it all without my mom here by my side to celebrate with me and encourage me and I have missed her a lot on this journey ❤️ But I am grateful for God providing me with this amazing man by my side and for us being able to walk through the fire together. And for the people who have rallied around us in this time, you all mean the world to us 🥹 Back to crunch time now!!! Got photos to edit and wedding details to finish!

POV: you have an intimate elopement centered around your kids and playing all together in the ocean waves! 🥰

It was such a joy photographing this elopement in Laguna!! The kids had the best time playing in the sand and jumping in the ocean waves 🌊. I loved when the bride told me that she wanted to do a sand ceremony moment with her family right after the ceremony then all go into the water together! What I adore about elopements is the fact that you can make them truly your own and make it a day that is for you and yours!! ❤️

I have started targeting Laguna/orange county beach elopements and intimate weddings! So I am excited to do even more of them this year and next year! I have another this weekend and I can’t wait! 🥰❤️

For all of you wondering… Yes, it is and I! 😍💍❤️ Nick did an amazing job planning the perfect proposal! He planned a “date night” in San Diego county and made sure I would get all dressed up for our fancy dinner date. Then we were in the car driving and he had me close my eyes for about 20 minutes for a surprise and then get out of the car and we walked across a field with my eyes still closed and I could hear the sound of a hot balloon (the fire part of it). I have always wanted to go up in one and was excited as I heard it! So when he told me to open my eyes I expected to see the hot air balloon and then I saw him down on one knee with a ring box open!!! 💍🥰❤️ it was absolutely perfect and my dear photographer friend was able to capture it all as well as .anzaldo for video!!

I cried, he cried, and I don’t remember much of anything he said except the “Will you marry me?” And I of course said “Yes!”

We got to take photos and videos while our balloon was blowing up then had a sunset ride in the sky over Cardiff and landed and took sunset photos ❤️❤️ then it was off to dinner at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the ocean and when I arrived home he even had my friends decorate my room with flowers and had a card he had written waiting for me 🥰🥰🥰 it was the perfect day down to the last thoughtful detail and I loved every minute of it!!! So blessed to now be a fiancée to an absolutely incredible man of God, the best adventure partner, my favorite game buddy, my fellow jet-setter, and my best friend 🥰🥰

Summer Loving ❤️ The purple flowers were in full bloom for this super fun and gorgeous session with and 😍😍 This was Alex’s dream to get photos along the cliff here and it was so worth it!!! I am so glad we were able to make her dream a reality!!

Plus these two were the cutest! All smiles and fun!!! They made the drive to San Diego well worth it!!

Colorado wouldn’t have been quite as magical without these amazing people traveling with me 🥰🥰🥰 We road-tripped and laughed, we had deep conversations about God and life, we camped under the stars, hiked through the rain, saw many gorgeous sights, had close encounters with moose, white water rafted class IV and V rapids, and conquered the hardest Via Ferrata in America!

It was a great trip and what made it even better was celebrating ’s birthday! 🥳

happy birthday my love! Way to welcome in the new decade! It is always a joy celebrating you and traveling is such a great way for us to do it! Love going with my favorite adventure partner and being able to do all of the cool things together! ❤️ Life is never boring with you, but it is adventurous yet steady and lighthearted yet rich. 🥰 Thanks for being my best friend and fellow adventurer and walking through life with me!

thanks for going the whole time with us, helping with the planning, and being up for all the adventures!! It is always fun adventuring and talking with you!!

so glad you could make the first half! Thanks for being so flexible during the trip, for helping out with all the camping and shopping needs, and just a great travel buddy! Always love the deep and interesting conversations we all have with you!

you were such a joy to travel with! From finding a place for us to swing dancing all together to being up for an 11 mile hike to backpacking to climbing the via Ferrata! You did it all with an incredible attitude of joy even when it pushed your limits! ❤️ thanks for your serving and loving on us all and for being the girlfriend I needed on this adventure with the boys!
spencerlee thanks for being a fellow adrenaline j***y and wanting to do all the big things! And for being our in house health coach on what was good and what was trash 🤪😆. I enjoyed our convos on trail and getting to know you more!

This was definitely was a trip for the books!!!Thanks for everyone’s tips and suggestions! We didn’t get to do everything that was suggested but we did a lot of amazing things and I feel so blessed 🥰🥰🥰

Colorado ❤️

Finally got the chance to edit some of my Colorado photos!!! It was an amazing trip!!! The scenery was absolutely stunning and I loved all of the wildflowers that were blooming! We saw quite a few moose too and that is always a great experience 🫎🥰

Spent 11 days exploring and we made some good tracks! Finally made it to the Aspen area and the famous Maroon Bells and it definitely lived up to the hype! One of the most gorgeous areas for sure! And got to backpack in Indian Peak wilderness and saw some gorgeous scenery there too! I was happy to stay with the mountains forever ❤️

I will share about our wonderful friends who joined on the next post but here are pretty scenery photos I wanted to share 🥰🥰🥰

This engagement session still makes me smile!!! These two were so fun to work with and we definitely made the most of the beautiful Pasadena City Hall! Definitely worth the drive for this OC girl! 🥰 One of my favorite things about photographing is being able to meet so many amazing people and taking photos in so many unique locations! It always fills me with joy and helps me feel so blessed 🥹❤️

And little Cayden was a dream and slept so well for the session! Ahhh I just love this family! 🥰🥰🥰 It is a huge blessing for me to follow my clients from wedding to family photos! It makes me so happy to see them grow and thrive together!

07/28/2024

Reminding myself I need to be better at posting on Instagram and using the opportunity to share about this fun wedding I did a few months ago!!! 😍 I absolutely adore and and being a part of their wedding day was a JOY! They ended with the habit burger truck and I am so pro it! They even include fries! Yum! But this day was just so fun and wanted to include some inside and night photos we took for a different look than my usual outdoor photos 🥰

06/21/2024

The mountains are calling and I must go! I am so excited to go to Colorado on Monday to celebrate ’s bday! And even though this isn’t Colorado, this Mammoth wedding was what mountain dreams are made of!! 🥰🥰🥰

If you have any recommendations for hikes in Aspen, Vail, Boulder, or the Rockies let me know! We will be out there for 11 days! 👏🏻

These two are married now and what a beautiful and amazing day it was!!! We were at one of my favorite venues where not only are the staff great but the food is AMAZING! And the day was perfect from all the little details and Joey added in to the crazy fun dance party that went right up to the end!!! We were able to get some great photos from their day and I just loved being able to capture it all! 🤩🤩

Should you still do engagement photos even if your wedding is only a month away??

Heck yes!! I have had a few couples including this one do that recently and I am all for it.

Why? Because:
1) You will never regret having photos that document your engagement season. It is a special time in your life and it is a great time for you two to be yourselves and in clothes you would wear normally! It is remembering your relationship as a whole not just your wedding day ❤️
2) Taking photos with your photographer will help your wedding day go even more smoothly!! Most all of us are nervous in front of the camera, and having the opportunity to see how your photographer will work with you outside of the chaos of the wedding day helps you feel ready when it is time to take photos on your big day!
3) Expanding upon #1: You can make the photos just about you and your relationship! On the wedding day it is about you two yes, but also about the family and friends and events of the day. Your engagement session is a time to just let you two and your love and relationship shine!

Loved this engagement session and can’t wait for their wedding day at in a few weeks!! 😍👏🏻

Tomorrow I head back to one of my favorite little islands off the coast of Ventura! It also is a National Park which makes it even better!! I did this engagement session there about 2.5 years ago and now get to head back for another all day engagement session fun! 🤩 This one was amazing because these two got engaged on the island while on a hike which I was able to document then Lucas and I brainstormed about him sneaking some nice outfits for the two of them into his bag so they could change and we would do engagement photos! It worked like a charm and we had so much fun running around and taking photos! Can’t wait to go back tomorrow and create new memories with my couple!!!
