I love witnessing wedding days (or being a wedding day stalker as I say). I love hanging out with the bride and groom all day. I love hearing the stories the parents tell with toasts. I love when the best man makes everyone blush on the dance floor. I love being a contributor to the whole ceremony and working with all the vendors to make it come together.
Read MoreI’m always honored to witness and hear stories of my couples; this beautiful couple have been friends for over thirty years before they finally realized they were meant to be. What a magical story.

They had planned a destination wedding but travel restrictions changed their plans and they opted for an elopement in San Diego with a full family reception in desert in their parent’s backyard.

Read MoreCody and Shaylin were so sweet and in love. I remember getting married young and feeling like it was the most magical experience ever. I had no idea of the magic that would come later, our first home, our children, the joy we’d find as a family.

Read MoreThis past winter I assisted PMA Photogrpahy with a tiny wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden. It was such a small wedding we weren’t booked for a very long day, however I snuck some getting ready and bouquet photos before our very impromptu first look.
Read MoreI know the work that goes into a marriage and making it last, celebrating with these families while capturing their moments renews my energy in my own marriage and reminds me that love is the key to making the world go round and we should always take time to celebrate it.
Read MoreI love intimate ceremonies but more importantly collaborating with my family. The Husband officiated their wedding. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were there witnesses.
Read MoreChris and Mia had the most beautiful wedding with all the emotions. I can honestly say that every detail was curated to perfection.

Each moment of their day was beautiful and elegant. I had such a blast photographing this wedding I wanted to include it here.
Read MoreAll of the following images were photographed and edited by me with my custom presets and edits. I love the vibe of film but it’s slightly impractical for a wedding, so I edit my images to reflect the feel of my favorite Kodak portra film or black and white dramatic images. Here’s a peek at a previous wedding I photographed with Amber back in March 2019 at the Wright House in Mesa
Read MoreI didn’t have a first look at my wedding. I wanted to be super traditional and we didn’t talk to each other or even text the day of. I’m not sure if I would do it differently looking back if I knew then what I know now. But I like to think the photographer in me would be able to convince my former youth the benefits of a first look.
Read MoreIf you’ve been following along you know I photographed one of my best friends’ wedding recently and I’ve decided to break each major album into sections similar to how I deliver images to clients so my potential clients can get a more in depth look at wedding coverage, not just the top 10 images I took all day. Here’s a peek at Mike and Stephanie getting ready.
Read MoreI’ve known Stephanie for years, and when she told me she was getting married I knew I wanted to capture the day for her. So I did. These are the main details from their wedding. I like to usually post one blog gallery per wedding but since this was so special I decided to break it up into galleries, like I deliver; Details, Getting Ready, First Look, Ceremony and Reception.
