We have it so good here in the USA!
We had the pleasure of meeting this amazing family while in Venice, Italy. For most of us, we know that there is war happening on the other side of the world, but as Americans (and much of the world), we are not involved with it every day. This strong, young family is doing their best having to relocate from their home country, Ukraine. They have been blessed to find a place that is safe for their child and had the opportunity to visit Venice recently. However, they still have close family serving in the war as I write this. Yet, they still maintain their happiness and their ability to continue forward in the midst of struggle. We had the privilege to meet many wonderful people from around the world during this Italian work trip, and these three were no exception! We wish them nothing but the best , and God willing, they can head home soon!

Love always wins; every time! Sometimes it takes longer than you plan, but keep the faith! And when that time finally comes, you know who to call.

That bride tribe! So special and such an important part of your day. Keep the list simple, and keep it special. Your sister. Best friend. Your ride or die since first grade. Those are the ones! Don’t feel pressed about including Every. Single. One. Many times just including those friends in the celebration is the best. Don’t worry. We’ll still get plenty of 📸 with them too. 💕

This look is not something that just magically appears on your wedding day for most brides. The look of confidence, elegance, grace. Those are things we talk about. We walk you through the day empowering you with appropriate praise and at the same time, showing you step by step how to pose and feel your best. That’s what we do. And we love doing it!

Less of us. More of you.

An honest review from our bride and groom:

“Sean and Shannon photographed and provided videography for our destination wedding in July. We couldn’t be more happy with the results! From the moment we first talked to Sean, we felt at ease and knew they were on it. Not only were they organized, but they listened to our suggestions (even when it included recreating a Taylor Swift music video) and made us feel as comfortable as possible on the big day! It was truly the most magical day and Sean and Shannon captured it beautifully. Thank you!!”

All the feels! 🙌
When you love what you do, this truly makes our heart smile.

The light! Yes, the light is the key to the most gorgeous photos! So, when your photographer tells you, “It’s time for some romantics!” Take advantage of those beautiful rays of sunshine. We were so blessed to be part of our couple’s day. God is good! And He brought the two of you together for good.
With all our Love. . .

The number one goal of a wedding photographer should be to make your day special and unique to you.

It’s definitely summertime as the requests for sunset engagements and weddings are at an all-time high! Many times when couples are planning their special day, they forget that golden hour changes it’s timeframe every single day. Searching up sunset times in Central California is not the same as it is in San Diego or other parts of the world. Don’t forget that your actual location also changes when the sun will share its last breath. Are their mountains? Bends in the coastline? Where exactly is the sun placed that time of year? We have photographed thousands of images with the sunset. We got you! Let’s plan that timeline to make sure you get what you want. 🥰

Wishing both our Dad’s the best Father’s Day! On our own wedding day, we were blessed to have both of our dads there to love and support us (and yes, Sean did have platinum blonde hair on his wedding day!)
Many people don’t have that option anymore, so for those that still have your version of “Dad” here on earth, give them a call and tell him you love him!

“I now pronounce you…” the words every girl dreams of on her wedding day! Spring is here and we are head over heels enjoying all the celebrations we get to capture this year! Ceremony shots are especially important and why you need a second photographer at your wedding. Make sure you book a team that works together because you don’t get that moment back! What you don’t see in the picture? The lead on the knees in the isle getting all the good stuff head on. We’re happy to talk with you when you’re ready to plan for wedding photography 📸. Happy Friday!

For all the grooms out there! We know the wedding day is a busy one, and yes, you have an important role to play (including and not limited to tux pick up, making sure your guys arrive ON TIME, bride gift…the list goes on)! Whether you are renting or buying your suit for the big day, take the time to know what’s what BEFORE your wedding day. Shoes? Check. Cuff links? Check. You get the idea! If you have a tie that needs tying make sure you got that practice down. Less stress; more fun when you don’t have to worry about the little things. It’s your day too! Plan ahead and enjoy the rewards. 😍
