From best friends to husband and wifeJoyce & Oliver’s path to their wedding day wasn’t easy. Like most of 2020, covid happened and disrupted original big wedding plans. So a small elopement with immediate family it was! Receiving an email from Joyce with all the uncertainty with a new stay at home order going in effect, she mentioned that Oliver said, Whatever happens, I’m marrying you on December 4th. UGH, TUGGING AT MY HEART STRINGS I had the honor of going back to my hometown to be a part of their intimate day and finishing off my wedding season this year with THEM. And boooooyyy, these two were so easy to photograph. The love and connection between these two are unmatched....

More weddings in the forest with two people that are madly in love with each other please Destiny & Halley, it was an absolute honor to be able to document your genuine love. Thank you for having me!

When SF city hall canceled all weddings due to covid, Maricel & Frankie came up with an idea of coming to SoCal to elope instead. No family, no friends. Just surrounded by their specially chosen vendors, the ocean and a candle lit rooftop dinner catered by a private chef and a live saxophone player. Topped off with a surprise 10 minute video from all their loved ones congratulating them! How magical does that sound?!

10.10.20. The hottest date of the year! And I had the honor of photographing Clair & Amanda’s adventurous vow exchange and elopement in Sedona, Arizona! From exchanging vows alongside their two Aussie Shepherds, to an adventurous hike and finished with epic photos along a a stunning sunset and a very big cliff Now that’s what I’m talkin bout!! Does this make you want an adventurous elopement?!

Officially Mr. and Mrs. Kost Brooke & Kevin sealed the deal in front of their immediate family at their beautiful Palm Desert residence. Enjoying hors d’oeurves & cocktails by the pool after their first dance. What a dreamy day and such a beautiful reminder that small intimate weddings are so memorable.... Do these elopement posts inspire you?! How do they make you feel cause I’m over here like

Gosh, where do I even start with posting this epic foggy Big Sur elopement from this past Monday?! I swear, Rachel & Charley belong on a cover of a magazine. They exchanged vows among 7 of their family members and how lucky of us vendors to be a part of that and witness it?! UGH. Many more images to come!
