I’ve been doing quite a bit of mentoring the last year and I needed help with a training video so I asked newlyweds Bree + Carlos to come model for me! They SLAYED! They are so adorable and comfortable in front of the camera. Their thank you was a copy of the photos I took! <3

Brianna + Brandon had one of the funnest and most outgoing personalities of any of my clients. These two love to have FUN. And I wanted to show that in their images. Their dance party was off the hook – the floor was packed the entire night with B+B right smack dab in the middle. They wanted a vintage laid-back Hawaii wedding and Cherise with The Perfect Maui Wedding really delivered. My favorite detail? The huge Love sign right on the shore!

Oh and extra cool bonus points – this wedding was featured on Every Last Detail today. How lucky am I?

I met Tina two years ago when she came to me for some photos of herself. She was jumping in to the world of online dating and wanted nice and professional images to share on Match.com. Well, shortly after she posted the photos she got a message from a handsome, tall gentleman named Kevin who told me that it was her photos that drew him to her. You guys! How cool is this?! I was a teeny part of their love story and that makes the romantic in me scream from the rooftops! Of course I was thrilled when they asked me to be part of the next chapter – their elopement! They were married earlier in the day and we met up that evening for some portraits around their neighborhood!

I like to encourage my couples to incorporate things they love in to their engagement shoot. I knew for these two, that would mean beer! They also wanted to go to the San Diego Safari Park since they are pass holders! We started at the very spot where it all begin – Stone Brewery, the site of their very first date!
