Dana Point, California Wedding At The Ocean Institute: Karissa + Rocky

Karissa & Rocky’s Summer wedding at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California was one for the books! These two & their families are some of the kindest people i’ve ever met & also had the honor of not just photographing their wedding day but also their beach engagement photos! (keep scrollin’ to get a peak at those too!)

Anza Borrego Engagement Session: Alex + Cynthia’s Desert Engagement Photos

Anza Borrego Engagement Session: Alex + Cynthia’s Desert Engagement Photos. First of all, I was so excited to be photographing Alex & Cynthia’s engagement photos here in The Anza Borrego desert! The national park was unbelievable and HUGE. I met up with these two outside the park during sunrise and we drove in together.

Casey + Heather: Point Dume Engagement Session

MALIBU ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Casey and Heather flew out to the west coast to visit their siblings, so instead of doing their engagement session in New York, we met up in Malibu! We originally had some pretty epic New York engagement photo ideas, but of course covid happened and we had to postpone. Heather also didn’t want to take engagement photos until they had a ring, which of course they did for their engagement session at Point Dume.

Since Heather works in fashion, I knew their outfits would be on point! Heather messaged me before the shoot to see if they could plan for 3 outfits and to jump in the ocean at the end. Most couples say “oh yeah we want to do some ocean photos” until they realize they have to get in the ocean (haha!), but Casey and Heather definitely committed!! Scroll to the end for some of my favorite photos from their session.

Hope + Patrick: Afters + Old Town Pasadena Engagement Session

A PASADENA ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Ice cream during your engagement session? Heck yes! I always encourage couples to choose a location or activity that’s meaningful to them. Hope + Patrick love going for ice cream, so of course we had to start their Pasadena engagement session at Afters ice cream. YUM! Their outfits fit the vibe perfectly and the harsh light really added to the vibeeee!
