Sarah and Paul are an amazing couple that I had the good fortune of meeting through Jonathan West of Portray Life. They are a complete joy to work with in every way ... nice, genuine and completely in love with each other, not to mention photogenic. While they are from Orange County, they moved to Albany, New York so they could go to Med School together. So, not only are they smart but talented too. Sarah also sings in a band and will fly home every few weeks to play a show and sneak in a surf session. I think Sarah may very well be my new hero!!
These guys are the best!

Amy and Ethan are just about the funniest couple I have ever worked with. They are always goofing around, making this session one of my favorites. I think my cheeks hurt from laughing so much. They have quite the personalities and I had a ball capturing them and their fun relationship. Amy and Ethan take their Domo doll on all of their travels to take his pictures in every place they go. So, what a perfect thing to include in a couple of their engagement pictures, right?! I adore these guys and cannot WAIT for their wedding! It's going to be an epic one :-)

Sophanel and James got engaged and I was lucky enough to be hired as their wedding photographer. We headed down to San Juan Capistrano to make the most of it's beautiful little hideaways. Much thank to James, who is a wiz at reading maps and finding specific locations. Sophanel had specific ideas in mind and the two worked together to find new locations and bring their vision to life. From Old Town San Juan and train tracks, to an old creek, I had loads of fun capturing this gorgeous couple!

Last week I hung out with Melissa and Joey to capture their love for each other as well as their love for great vintage finds! HEEELLLLOoooo ... I couldn't have been happier if I was sitting at home eating chocolate cake. It was so much fun working with these two. Not only were Melissa and Joey easy to work with but they were so into their session and up for anything. A dream for sure! Thank you both so much! I cannot wait for your vintage wedding next month. xoxo
