I’ve always wanted to photograph an engagement session at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and after I met Emily and Matt, I knew it was the perfect location for them! Since she’s from the Santa Cruz area, Emily grew up going to the boardwalk with family and friends. Plus I knew that the rides, games, […]

This modern and minimalist editorial wedding was the creation of Lea Stafford (Lea Stafford Events) and was brought to life by a talented team of creatives (see everyone below). It was first featured in an article by Martha Stewart Weddings about how to plan a chic micro wedding, and it’s still a favorite today due […]

Jenna and Bryan chose a great backdrop for their winter wedding! The stone walls of StoneTree Estate were perfect for a January wedding and complimented their blush wedding tones, and the early golden hour descended upon their ceremony in the most perfect glowy way!

It was fitting that Ilaria and Ryan’s wedding was held in Berkeley, given that the couple met 10 years prior at UC Berkeley (Cal) right down the street from their venue, the Berkeley City Club! They were in the marching band together (they both played the saxophone) and they surprised their guests at the end […]

Hayley and Joey are both physicians and they met during their residency. We bonded during their phone consultation because they were both training at the hospital where I work per diem as a critical care nurse! (Learn more about me here!) I loved getting to hear all about their relationship during their engagement session! We […]
