Getting close to a year since Leah & Andy’s day and I still remember all of the feelings and details of the day so clearly as if it were just a couple of weeks ago.

Their wedding was full of quiet emotion, lots of tears, and so much sincerity. They’re kind, grounded & so genuine with each other. Everything about the day reflected that. Nothing felt forced. Just real love, shared so freely.

What an honor it was to be invited in to witness something so beautiful and honest.

Throwing it back to Laura & Jon’s engagement session from summer 🥹

These two were pure joy to photograph. So free spirited, so fun, and so completely themselves with each other. I barely had to prompt them. The smiles, laughter & in between moments just happened so naturally. They were so in sync, their chemistry was undeniable, and being around them just felt easy.

And their story? He was her mailman! Jon left Laura a note asking her out (which, of course, sat in her mailbox for over a week because she doesn’t check her mail 😂) When she finally saw it she threw open the door, said yes immediately, invited him over that night… and he never left.

Laura says Jon’s the most positive person she’s ever met and showers her with love daily. Jon says Laura’s smile makes him forget everything and she can make him laugh instantly.

I seriously cannot wait for their wedding this July...if this is any indication of how they love, their day is going to be something really special

Amber & Garrett… effortlessly the coolest couple in the room 🍸

TODAY we celebrate their wedding in the city they love!! 🖤✨

Amber & Ricardo ✨

The day after their elopement at the Little White Chapel in Vegas, Amber and Ricardo explored Zion National Park at golden hour. Surrounded by towering red rocks, they shared a quiet moment reading vows—just the two of them, wrapped in the magic of the desert.

They met in a little surf town in Mexico, two travelers from different countries crossing paths at a literal crossroads. Amber was riding her blue scooter when Ricardo caught her eye. From that moment, something real and rare began.

Four dates, then many miles apart—but it was enough. Video calls stretched into early mornings, a leap across continents, and a life built on tenderness, curiosity, and joy.

Their Vegas ceremony was simple and full of love, perfectly them. But these moments in Zion? They felt like a sacred remembering of who they are and the improbable way their worlds collided.

Amber says Ricardo is the easiest person to do life with; Ricardo says Amber is pure magic. Together, they’ve built a love that’s wild, real, and deeply theirs.

I fell in love with them instantly. Witnessing their story was a gift.

Here’s to desert vows, quiet miracles, and love that feels like poetry found. 🤍

Looking back on one of the most thoughtful, heart-filled backyard celebrations—Francesca & Vinnie, your day was pure magic.

Anna & Connor traded the winter cold for the warmth & beauty of a greenhouse 🌿—well, until the very end when they braved the chill for some outdoor shots (worth it)
