Aaron and Erina – Japanese Friendship Garden, Balboa Park Wedding Photographer
It’s rare that I have a wedding where I have never met the couple. But since Erina and Aaron live in DC, I didn’t get the pleasure to meet them until the night before at their rehearsal dinner. They both just and sweet and kind as I could have hoped for! Their friends loved to...

Verdette and Brad – Balboa Park Engagement
From the moment I got my first email from Verdette, I knew she was a kind soul. Plus any who admits they cried during someone else’s wedding slideshow is a person who gets what I am doing in this profession. Brad is the perfect balance to Verdette. He keeps her grounded and she makes him...
Kyle and Ann – The Prado at Balboa Park
Ann knew me in my awkward stage. If I had a photo of me during those years, I would post it, but I have good reason to believe they have all been burned. Well, not all of them. Ann kept the copies and proudly displayed them (along with others from her life) at her...
