Lisa + Addison wanted to include their 3 pups in their engagement session and they were so adorable! The three of us bonded over craft beer so it was only natural to grab one at Panama 66 in Balboa Park. That set the mood for the fun and romantic shoot around the park!

I’m still catching up on blogging 2014’s weddings! So many good ones to share! Jen + Scott were no exception. After their killer Chicago engagement session, I was looking forward to some more urban portraits around the Gaslamp in San Diego! It was the most perfect November day!

I have been just holding my breath waiting to share this amazing wedding with you! Asal and Bryan were married at Scripps Seaside Forum in a family-oriented laid-back wedding. They incorporated a few Persian traditions which were stunning. And that bouquet = swoon!

I truly feel all engagement photoshoots should start with craft beer! 😉 Mary Kate and Taylor introduced me to an awesome beer bar called Lucky Baldwins. We spent some time chatting and drinking before walking around Pasadena. I hadn’t been there in many years so it was fun to see how much it has grown! We ended at the gorgeous City Hall which had endless back drops to photograph!
