Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
These two lovebirds tied the knot this past weekend and I cannot wait to show you what Mandi and I captured! But since I’m behind on blogging you get to see their engagement session with Mandi first! These two had a fun shoot around their home in Poway and incorporated a few of their favorite things – homebrewing, their animals and matching his and hers Prius’ (what is the plural of Prius…Priui?)

I have to admit, I was a little shocked that I didn’t get booked for any 10-10-10 weddings! Lucky for Remi and Brett though, they got to have both Mandi and myself at their wedding! It was an amazing gorgeous(and incredibly warm) day at Paradise Point. And to top it all off, the bride wore Vera Wang, one of my favs.

Mandi and I had the pleasure of photographing Hanh and Alex’s beautiful golf course wedding. I got to be her second shooter for once which is a lot of fun! They had some beautiful red and black details and one of the most interestingly decorated cake! Oh and it was Red Velvet so of course I was a happy girl!
