Nothing says fall like family snuggles and crunchy leaves underfoot 🍂✨ The Zamora family brought all the heart (and those perfect fall tones!) to Dos Picos Park this season. Between the giggles, leaf fights, and those snuggles that melt your heart — this session was everything I love about autumn family portraits. 💛

Mariella & Travis had the kind of day that reminds you why we love weddings — all heart, all fun, and all at the dreamiest castle in San Diego. 🕊️✨
From the happy tears to the epic party vibes, this Mt. Woodson Castle wedding was one for the books. 🏰

Balboa Park was packed — but when love’s the focus, everything else fades away. 💍✨ We found hidden pockets of calm, soft light, and that perfect moment when it all felt like it was just the two of them.

One of the greatest joys of being a photographer for me is getting to witness life unfold through each season. From the moment love begins to the day it grows into something even more beautiful. Engagements to weddings to baby ✨ Liz and Simeon’s first session with baby Roman felt like coming full circle—a new chapter, filled with wonder. Welcome to the world, little one.

🌴 Chad and Daniel brought their own kind of magic to the day. The kind that can’t be staged or scripted, only felt in the way they look at each other and move through the world together. Every moment carried a quiet sense of joy and connection that lingered long after the celebration ended—proof that love, when it’s true, doesn’t just fill a day. It transforms it. 🌈💍✨

The ocean was impossibly blue this day at Windansea, the kind of clear that feels almost unreal. Just before the tide crept in, Jace dropped to one knee and the world seemed to hold its breath. For a heartbeat, everything — the water, the sky, their laughter — moved together like it had been waiting for this exact moment. ✨💍🌊

Mission Trails caught the kind of light that makes everything feel softer, as if the world paused just long enough for this family to breathe it all in. Every laugh carried through the grass, every glance felt like a small reminder of how quickly the seasons turn. Autumn doesn’t need grand gestures — just the quiet proof that love always shows up.

Heading into the weekend with full hearts and fall leaves flying 🍂✨ There’s nothing like these golden days with your favorite people before the rush of the holidays begins. Now’s the perfect time to capture it all — mini sessions are available on select dates (link in bio!) and full sessions are open all season long. Let’s make some magic before the year slips away 💛

There’s something so special about a backyard wedding — the intimacy, the warmth, and the way love fills every corner. This San Diego celebration wrapped itself in fall tones and golden light, turning an ordinary space into the most heartfelt “I do.” 🍂✨
