Bryan and Lauren drove up with their closest friends and family to Santa Barbara from L.A. to celebrate their love. If you have been to Santa Barbara you know it is a magical place and even more magical at the Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm.

Read MoreI am a business that commits to being a safe space and seeks to include and advocate for all identities and cultures within wedding photography and engagement services. I commit to doing my best when it comes to recommending vendors who are also aligned with these values. It’s important for businesses to be transparent and make a stance on these issues. If you have any questions or would like to have a conversation please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Read MoreNabilla and Alex had never been to the Sand Dunes which was super exciting for me. To be with someone when they experience this place for the first time is like Christmas morning - I can’t think of how to describe it. When you are in the middle of the dunes surrounded by sand and amazing views there is nothing wrong with the world. There is no pandemic or injustice or wild fires. Just sand. Ha. At least this is how I feel. It is magical.

Read MoreOHHHH and a surprise to all of us (except Jake of course) - they got engaged at dinner! WHAAA! Kana texted that they were running a few min late bc (see photo below).

Read MoreEvery business owner needs a head shot and some need a whole branding session.
Read MoreWhen I first started out I was taking online classes through Creative Live and any free outlet I could find. I went to a meet up about the basics of photography. I was eager to learn but I was also a little too prideful to admit some things.
Read MoreYou guys! I love living in Denver. Granted I’m a little bias since my family is here and I am from here but my experience with the wedding industry in Denver has definitely been more COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION.
