Paul & Autumn got married on New Year’s Day, which happened to be the only sunny day in a long streak of rainy days here on the Central Coast.
In front of their children, immediate family, and best friends, they exchanged vows and rings to the sound of crashing waves and seagulls cheering them on.
They shared their first dance alone with me and my camera as the sun sank into the Pacific, and it was absolutely perfect.

Edgar and Jes’ wedding by the sea was something out of a romance novel.
Complete with a blustery day that broke through with sunlight right as the bride walked down the aisle, and a surprise twist during dinner 🙂

One never knows quite what they’re walking into when arriving to a wedding every weekend. Energy is always running high amidst the aroma of hair spray and mimosas. But the energy in Gabrielle’s hotel room was different than I had ever felt. You see, this beautiful bride had suffered the inexplicable tragedy of a miscarriage that very morning. As a wedding photographer, I speak the language of story – and every love story asks to be told in it’s own unique way. This was a love story I had never run into before — the love story between parents and their unborn child, buried in the cliffside with a forever view of the Pacific Ocean. If there is one thing I have learned as a storyteller, it’s that life is messy. But as the late, great Leonard Cohen sang, “There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”
