Mom & Dad.⁣

While taking these photographs, I knew just how much these moments meant to me. I love these two more than words can describe. ⁣
⁣
Because of their hard work, I was able to have everything I ever needed to live a good life. They constantly support me through every step of my journey... even when I told them I wanted to leave a secure engineering job with benefits (during a recession 😜)to be an artist. Their exact words were “we just want you to be happy” Then they bought me my first professional level camera to help me start my business. ⁣
⁣
They have to be the most caring and selfless people I’ve ever known. There’s not a moment that they aren’t thinking about how they can help take care of others. I’m beyond blessed ❤️⁣

Living vicariously through these images right now.⁣ Missing human connection and traveling to new places. I also really miss hugs haha.⁣

A quick update on things. Next year is just about fully booked up with all the rescheduling from this year and the new events being booked. For the remainder of this year I am taking on smaller socially distant elopements, family sessions, and portrait sessions. I’m also working on a few projects I’m excited to share about soon that are tied to my portrait work. More soon...⁣

As you wish... On my first date with Jen, I made a little restaurant in my apartment, put up string lights, and cooked her dinner. I also built a large fort out of pillows and blankets so we could watch The Princess Bride together. The next day we got married. Not true, but I’m pretty sure the first date is what sealed the deal 😂.

The emotional wedding story of Rue & Mickey is on the blog! Huge thank you to these vendors/artists for helping make these images possible:

I recently made some updates to the new website site and it’s also loading much quicker now as I know that’s been an issue for some of you. There are 2 new stories on there including this one of Emily & Jeff which was filled with so many emotional and beautiful moments. It was an absolute honor to document their wedding day. A special thank you to the vendor team involved:⠀

My new website is officially live! I’m really proud of how it turned out and I just wanted to thank for all the support they gave me through the process. Also, a special thank you to the friends and family that helped me fine tune details before launch...you know who you are ;) The site features two new wedding stories including the intimate wedding of my dearest friends Jessy & Perry. Lots more to blog so I’ll have quite a bit to share with you all moving forward. Thank you all for the amazing support through the years. Even in this crazy time, I’m grateful for doing what I do. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without a camera in my hand surrounded by the amazing community this passion has helped me build ❤️ .

The first images Autumn shared after getting her wedding photos back were of her mom and dad. I absolutely loved seeing their interactions throughout the day. It was the sweetest thing... .

Calvin and Victoria came from the other side of the world for this shoot and Mount Tam did not disappoint with the scenery and weather ❤️

A new website coming your way this winter/ spring. I have a lot to share and can’t wait to show you all what’s been in the works! Also Happy Anniversary to these two ❤️
