A perfect day for a wedding at McMenamins Edgefield just outside Portland. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers and the gentle hum of laughter as loved ones gathered to witness the union of a truly lovable couple.

An engagement shoot in Balboa Park and Mission Trails, San Diego. I can’t wait for their wedding!

This amazing wedding was a testament to the beauty and power of love, and to the inclusive and welcoming spirit of Los Angeles.

I lived in Portland Oregon for four years and I definitely left a big piece of my heart in the Pacific Northwest. I love any time I have an opportunity to head back there!

A fun wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona. Love it any time I get to shoot in the high desert!

It has been nine years. What a fun, adventurous ride.

I’ve been to lots and lots of weddings over the years. Some couples were very creative when it came to entertaining their guests. Here I outline some of the more memorable ones!

I love when couples include their dogs in their wedding. As a dog dad myself, I could not imagine having a wedding without the fur babies. There are, however, some things to consider…

The biggest lesson I’ve learned throughout my years shooting weddings is that timing is everything. Real moments happen in an instant. Wait too long to click that button and the candor of the moment is gone.

I’m excited to be revisiting film again and extending it to the weddings I shoot. I learned photography on film and miss the manual, sometimes unpredictable nature of the medium. The little imperfections baked into the final image are so final and unique!
