A Luxury Rustic Wedding Shoot at River Bottoms Ranch, Utah

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 […]

Beautiful Rose Garden Wedding in Santa Ynez Valley

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. Our creative team worked with […]

Engagement

Lakeside Love Story // Leah & Eric’s Lake Sherwood Engagement Session

There’s something undeniably magical about a springtime Lake Sherwood Engagement Session — especially when cherry blossoms are in bloom, the lake is glowing in golden light, and a couple is completely unapologetically themselves. Leah and Eric’s engagement session at Lake Sherwood was the perfect combination of romance, adventure, and spontaneity, creating the kind of images that feel […]

Why I Love Film Photography: Slowing Down and Finding Inspiration in Nature’s Beauty

In a world dominated by instant content and endless scrolling, film photography offers something completely different: patience, presence, and intention. What started as a creative hobby quickly became one of my favorite ways to slow down and reconnect with the world around me. From coastal highways to quiet desert sunsets, film photography has changed the way I […]

Weddings

Beautiful Vineyard Wedding in Malibu | LA Wedding Photographer

Kristen and Marc’s wedding at Triunfo Creek Vineyards in Malibu was one of those days that just flows. You can also see the property in our Triunfo Creek Vineyards editorial, which captures the vineyard in a softer, design-led light. It started at a cozy Airbnb in Agoura Hills, where Kristen and her girls got ready […]

Workshops

The Pretty Project Workshop // Pretty in Pink // Malibou Lake Lodge

This is our second Pretty Project Workshop, and the theme this year was Pretty in Pink, held at Malibou Lake Lodge. The day was featured on Green Wedding Shoes, which still feels surreal to say out loud. At Lisa Leanne Photography, I love pushing past the standard wedding portfolio brief. This workshop was built around […]

The Pretty Project Workshop // A Modern Tea Party

I’m so excited to finally share our first Pretty Project Workshop. We held it at Retreat Malibu in Ventura County, California. It was the kind of day I’ll be thinking about for a long time. The whole event was picked up by Green Wedding Shoes, which felt like the perfect ending to an already wonderful […]

Engagement

El Matador Beach Engagement Session // Kristen + Marc

El Matador is one of those places that barely needs a photographer. The rock arches, the hidden coves, the sandstone cliffs catching afternoon light: it all does the heavy lifting before you press a single shutter button. Kristen and Sean knew exactly what they were getting into when they picked El Matador Beach, and the […]

Engagement

Firestone Vineyard Engagement Session // Kristen + Sean

Kristen and Sean’s engagement session at Firestone Vineyard is one I still think about. The property sits among rolling rows of grapevines in the Santa Ynez Valley, and the afternoon light that day was the kind that does most of the work for you. I mostly just followed them around. They were easy together, comfortable, […]
