I’ve known Luke for years now (since he is a rad videographer with 4120 Weddings) and have always thought of him as a friend!  I met Bree the day Luke proposed (as I was there to capture it) and totally adored her from the beginning  I was jumping for joy when they asked me to be their wedding photographer!

They had their first official date in Julian so it was only natural that we go explore the area and get some pretty photos in the meantime. And of course, we had to stop for a beer at Bailey’s BBQ.  Of course.

I’m so happy for you two, you are a perfect match. Which truly makes my job so easy.  xo!

Suzanne + William were sent to me by Brenda at Swann Soirees and she totally nailed it – we were a perfect fit!  The whole day was perfect from her hot Betsy Johnson heels (swoon) to the stunning florals to the killer hip hop first dance!  Such a fun day and I was so grateful to be there to capture it all!

Remember that time when you shot that kick ass wedding with the raddest couple…and then forgot to blog it? Oh wait, is that only me?!  I went back to my blog to reference Amanda + Blain’s wedding…only to discover I never actually posted it!  Duh.  Better late than never, I guess!  Enjoy their fun, loving wedding at Bali Hai!

Andrea may win the award for my most laid-back bride!  She was there to marry her love, Dave and spend time with friends and family. No drama, no stress.  Such a fun relaxing day for everyone! I didn’t even meet the couple until the day of!  Andrea works for an Adventure Travel company so they took a killer honeymoon to Fiji & New Zealand.  How can I break in to the honeymoon photography business?! ha!

 I love shooting elopements, there’s something different and exciting about them.  The people closest to you in life are there (sometimes) and it’s about you, your significant other and your vows. And just like that…you are married!  I met Justin + Ngoc at the County Recorders office and after we headed over to Lakeview Park for some more photos!  It was fun getting to know them and their story of long distance love (Ngoc moved here to be with Justin 2 months ago after 5 years of being together!)  Congrats you two!  I wish you nothing but happiness in your life together!

Ngoc’s stunning bouquet is by the talented Floral Palette!
