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 favorite combinations for a summer session! The afternoon light sits low over the grass, the hills go copper, and then you […]

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 lush gardens and old oaks. If you haven’t been there yet, you need to go! Why San Ysidro Ranch is Perfect for Engagement Photos San Ysidro Ranch […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This is our second Pretty Project Workshop, and the theme this year was Pretty in Pink, held at the beautiful Malibou Lake Lodge. The day was featured on Green Wedding Shoes, which still feels surreal to say out loud! This workshop was built around a bride who’s bold with color and not afraid to lean […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

Sarah and Aaron won an engagement session I gave away on Instagram, and I couldn’t have picked a better couple for it. They’re both from Santa Barbara, they’re easy together, and they had a clear vision for the day. If you love this part of the coast, take a look at Stephanie and Tom’s Klentner […]

I’ve been sitting on these images for a while, and I’m so glad they’re finally out in the world! We shot this boho love story at Triunfo Creek Vineyards, a 55-acre private estate tucked into Malibu Valley. It is between the Santa Monica Mountains and the road to the coast. It was one of my […]
