Red Rock Canyon Couples Photo Session in Las Vegas
It’s been nearly 10 years since I have stepped foot on the dry land of Las Vegas, but that changed when an old friend called me and asked if I could fly in to photograph her and her husband for a family photo session. Here’s what we captured.
Winter Anniversary Photo Shoot in Yosemite
Both Sean and Vanessa reside in the Central Valley and decided to get away for the first weekend of 2020. Sean is a police officer and Vanessa is a middle school teacher and aspiring photographer who recently dived into the photography world. They met each other at a Starbucks after matching with each other on an online dating website. Since then, they got married and celebrated their five year anniversary by unplugging in Yosemite, having their own snowball fight, and allowing me to photograph them while we discussed education, movies, children, being adventurous, and zucchinis.

Hung around the Monterey Peninsula with a couple of friends that wanted some photographs. Good vibes all around!
Snowy Lake Tahoe Engagement
After surviving a snowstorm, I was able to capture my colleague and friend’s engagement in Lake Tahoe. Looking forward to their big day next year!
Muir Beach Stylized Elopement
Jallussee married the love her life in Las Vegas. She never wore a wedding dress on her wedding day, so she asked me if I could photograph a stylized elopement for her and her husband. It would be the first time he saw her in a white dress. By the way, her husband had no idea that she was planning the white wedding dress until she tapped him on the shoulder during this photo session.
Outdoor Monterey Wedding
Before moving they moved to Los Angeles, Dan wanted to ask Sam to marry him. With the help of his best man being the photographer to capture the proposal, Dan took Sam to the Cliff House restaurant located next to Ocean Beach in San Francisco. After dinner, Dan took Sam outside and asked her to marry him. In complete shock, Sam repeatedly asked herself, “Is this real?“ Best believe it is! Congratulations you two!

Same Sex Engagement Photo Session
Before I could photograph their wedding, Nick and Roger invited me into their newly purchased house to photograph their lifestyle when are both at home. Here’s their home lifestyle through my photography.
Monterey Coast Elopement
Travis and Leanna decided to officially tied the knot in Monterey, CA instead of their hometown of Modesto, CA. I don’t blame them one bit for that decision.
We met up near Fisherman’s Wharf and walked around to get some early photographs in while waiting on the officiant. Both Travis and Leanna were rocking a bride and groom shirt to let everyone know that they were ready to tie the knot. After capturing a few shots, they changed clothes, and we headed to the location of their ceremony where they were going to say both of their “I dos.”
Foggy & Coastal Stylized Elopement in Point Reyes
Drove 3 hours to capture these two love birds for their stylized elopement session on the California coast. They are one of the most laid back couples that I have met and they are definitely madly in love with each other!
Outdoor Summer Wedding in Hayward
A friend of mine was positioned to photograph this wedding and asked me if I could help her out. I agreed and drove up to Hayward, CA to help her out. When I met Jason at his house, he shared with me how much traveling and hiking him and, his soon to be wife, Cassie do. The house was packed with traveling and hiking gear and had many photographs and posters that related to the outdoors. It was only fitting that their wedding was an outdoor wedding.
Central Valley Backyard Wedding
Pat and Tara gave me an opportunity to photograph their short backyard wedding in Modesto, CA. Tara and I had discussed the details prior to their wedding day and she told me that the ceremony would be less than 10 minutes long. Well those 10 minutes were well worth capturing for my first backyard wedding!
Central Valley Orchards Wedding
Talk about being madly in love, both Chris and Zineb were meant for each other. They held their wedding in the orchards in the Central Valley of California. Overall a fun, laid back, wedding!
