Zoe + Tino | The Holly Farm, Carmel CA

Folks who love to laugh are my kind of people. Tino & Zoe emanate joy and emotion like no one I have ever seen. The way they look at each other, hold each other, laugh with each other — it’s the stuff of photographer’s dreams. And I am so grateful not only to know them, but to have gotten to share this incredibly special day with them.

Ron + Kelly | The Holly Farm, Carmel Wedding

Weddings have not only looked a little different this year, but they’ve FELT different too.

It’s as if the roller coaster that has been 2020 has taught us what’s really important, what to cling to, and what to let go. Weddings have reflected that in big ways. And when all this is over someday, I hope we never go back to the way it was before. I hope we continue to find gratitude in simple places, spread love and connection like it’s our job, and never EVER take hugs for granted.

Ron & Kelly’s wedding reminded me of that. I hope it can remind you too.

Gardener Ranch Wedding – Connlaoth + Michelle

My first encounter with Michelle & Connlaoth took place amidst gale force winds on the Big Sur coastline. After 3 hours of trailblazing, waterfall hiking, and trekking through the muddy bluffs — I knew these two were my kind of people: a couple who will never say no to an adventure for the sake of a good photo (or in general). And I could not have been more right. Their wedding was basically straight out of my dreams: complete with a sexy motorcycle, Irish accents, the furriest ring bearer, rich cultural tradition, sparklers (the likes of which caught my sweater on fire. it’s fine.), and a grand finale pool jump. And let’s not forget the honey-like sweetness and that pours from the bride and groom themselves. Believe me when I say, it was good craic. THE BEST CRAIC.

Holly Farm Wedding – Andrea & Travis

Every year, without fail, I put a lot of pressure on the “last wedding of the season.” Travis & Andrea’s wedding was everything I could ever want my closer to be — a couple that can’t look at one another without a knowing smirk, one of my favorite venues of all time, perfect weather, friendly guests, delicious food, a cannabis flower bar, and a bride and groom that will take photos foreverrrrr. Cheers, 2018, it’s been one for the books.
