Tyler + Olivia | Costa Rica Elopement

When I first met Tyler & Olivia for their engagement session, I never could have guessed that I would be following them to Costa Rica seven months later.
I’ve photographed hundreds of beautiful weddings in my 13 years, but when I beheld the ceremony site overlooking miles of Costa Rican coastline — I was a puddle of gratitude and awe. I’d never seen or experienced anything like it. From the epic view to the florals that looked like they’d been plucked right out of Avatar — I was in heaven. And then you have Tyler & Olivia — a photographer’s dream, the tender way they look at one another, like they are the only ones in the room.

I am so grateful to have met these two, and that they connected so deeply with my work that they brought me all the way to Costa Rica to document this epic piece of their love story.

Whitney + Oliver | Madonna Inn Intimate Wedding

I am over the moon to be making the transition to exclusively photographing intimate weddings from here on out. Whitney & Oliver’s wedding was the perfect reminder that I am making the right decision, letting go of large weddings — the energy is precious, the celebration more potent, and time for the important portraits makes my heart sing.

Mattie + Trevor | Whisper Valley Ranch, Santa Margarita CA Intimate Wedding

May weddings continue on this path of simplicity, because I’m kind of in love with couples getting back to the roots of why they’re there in the first place.
Mattie & Trevor’s wedding was everything I love about intimate weddings: a gorgeous bride, a tearful groom, handmade dried floral centerpieces, a dress with wings, a taco truck, and s’mores.
Thank you, more please.

Kelly + Ron | The Holly Farm, Carmel Wedding

A little over one year ago, Kelly and Ron pandemic-pivoted their entire wedding, and got married anyways. And instead of throwing in the towel on the wedding they originally wanted, they stayed committed and threw the most epic “one year anniversary party” of all time.

How lucky am I that I got to photograph this lovely couple on the happiest day of their lives, TWICE!? And I would do it again in a heartbeat.
