A Romantic Wedding at the Belmond El Encanto // Caitlin & Martin

Caitlin and Martin’s wedding at Belmond El Encanto was one of those weekends I’ll carry with me for a long time, much like our destination wedding in Norway. The property sits up in the Santa Barbara hills, wrapped in bougainvillea and old garden terraces, with Pacific views stretching out below. It’s a place that sets […]

A Destination Wedding in Norway // Victoria & Arne

A Dream Destination Wedding in Bergen, Norway I was beyond excited to travel to Norway for Victoria and Arne’s destination wedding. It was my first time visiting this country, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Arriving a few days early gave me time to explore Bergen. The city is full of charm and rich history. […]

Romantic Wedding at Cielo Farms in Malibu | LA Wedding Photographer

Mckenzie and Joe got married on a warm summer day at Cielo Farms, tucked into the rolling hills above Malibu. It’s one of those venues that stops you the moment you arrive. The ceremony took place beneath a full floral arch, and the reception spilled out under the open sky as the canyon turned gold […]

Beautiful Vineyard Wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch | LA Wedding Photographer

Elizabeth and Alejandro’s wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch was one of those days I’ll carry with me for a long time. The ceremony and reception took place at the Q Vineyard, surrounded by rolling hills and the dry golden light that Ventura County does so well. They said their vows overlooking the mountains. They danced […]

Engagement

Malibu Creek State Park Engagement Photos | LA Wedding Photographer

Ali and Brian spent their engagement session moving between two very different worlds: the dry golden hills of Malibu Creek State Park and the Pacific coast a few miles west. It’s one of my favourite combinations for a summer session. The afternoon light sits low over the grass, the hills go copper, and then you […]

Engagement

San Ysidro Ranch Engagement Photos // Santa Barbara Photographer

Caitlin and Martin’s engagement session at San Ysidro Ranch was a dream. The property sits in the Santa Barbara mountains, tucked away from the road and surrounded by gardens and old oaks. If you haven’t been there yet, go. It’s the kind of place that does most of the work for you. The grounds were […]

Dreamy Wedding at River Bottoms Ranch // Featured on Wedding Sparrow

This is the “Into the Light” editorial, shot at River Bottoms Ranch in Midway, Utah, and featured by Wedding Sparrow. The ranch sits in a wide mountain valley about twenty minutes from Park City, and it’s one of those places that immediately puts everyone at ease. A white modern barn, open green fields, horses grazing […]

Stunning Rose Garden Wedding // Featured on Green Wedding Shoes

I’m so excited to share that this intimate rose garden wedding was featured on Green Wedding Shoes. It was one of those shoots that pulled together everything I love about smaller weddings: the quiet, the details, the way the whole day feels designed around two people rather than a crowd. We worked with the wonderful […]

Lake Sherwood Engagement Photos | LA Wedding Photographer

Leah and Eric chose Lake Sherwood for their engagement session, and I’m so glad they did. The lake sits in the hills above Thousand Oaks, quietly tucked behind the old ranch land that borders Ventura County. We had cherry blossoms, big boulders, a wooden dock, and late-afternoon light that just kept getting better. Leah and […]

Nature on Film // A Personal Project

I shoot weddings on digital. But I keep a medium-format film camera loaded for personal work. This project is a collection of frames I’ve made out in nature over the past few years, mostly on Kodak Portra. It’s the film stock I reach for when I want soft, accurate colour and plenty of latitude in […]
