Gonzo + Shelby: Laguna Beach Engagement Photographer

A VICTORIA BEACH LOVE STORY

Happy New Year and congrats to all the newly engaged couples! Let me tell you about one of my favorite engagement sessions.

They were visiting California and had a photographer lined up for the big proposal. Their photographer canceled, but thankfully we managed to get in contact and made the proposal happen a couple hours later. Since it was pitch black during the proposal, I offered an engagement session the following day, which was a blast. Shelby and Gonzo are so fun to hang out with and their love is infectious. Enjoy this sweet couple!

Best of 2017!

2018 HERE WE COME!

2017 was quite a year!! It consisted of bags always being packed because lots of traveling, ALL the weddings (11 of my own, 44 second shooting), adventurous and fun couples, new gear and too many memories to count! I photographed couples in Chicago, San Francisco, Napa, Oakland, New York and many more places. I visited Detroit for the first time and photographed a wedding for Swanky Fine Art Weddings. I traveled to Seattle with my family for the first time and photographed a sweet couple in Georgetown. I went to Ireland, England and France with my friends Adrian and Sheri and we were able to photograph some gorgeous couples in each country. I shot an elopement in Laguna Beach and we got drenched, including my gear, but we all survived. I'm excited for all the adventures to come in 2018 and can only hope they live up to this year's adventures!

Haley + Wade: Melrose Place Couple

A NEW RELATIONSHIP FILLED WITH LOTS OF LOVE

Haley and Wade recently announced they're a couple in early September, but their love for one another has quickly become apparent to everyone around them. When you know, you know!

I've known Wade for a few years now and have shot him solo, so I was excited to see him in a relationship. I mentioned wanting to do some shots similar to Kat Irlin's, but in LA. Wade was stoked and Haley of course jumped on board. We met at Alfred Coffee on Melrose Place. I've met nice people, but let me tell you! Haley is one of the sweetest, nicest people you'll ever meet. She's so welcoming and makes you feel like you've known each other forever. I really enjoyed hanging out with them and capturing their love. Enjoy!

Connor + Hannah: Wicker Park Chicago Couple Session

A WALK AROUND WICKER PARK

It was so great to reconnect with Connor and Hannah. We all went to college together, which is where they first met. I met Connor while I was out to lunch with our mutual friend Fred. We managed to stay in touch via Instagram and I reached out before I headed to Chicago. I was so stoked when they said they were up for a couple session, but they couldn't afford it. When I'm traveling, of course I want to take on as much paid work as possible, but sometimes I have free time to be creative and always need new content in new places. I met up at their apartment and we shot as much as we could there, then we went on a stroll around Wicker Park. Enjoy!

Sorelle + Udenze: Georgetown Seattle Couple Session

A STROLL AROUND GEORGETOWN

Would you believe these two have been together for 7 years?! They are such a sweet couple. I needed a couple for a shoot for Zipcar and they graciously volunteered. After, we headed to Georgetown and wandered around. It was such a blast hanging out with them. Enjoy!
