rachel + victor | CASA REAL WEDDING

Rachel and Victor’s wedding was some of the most fun I’ve ever had while photographing, and I’m still so amazed by the sheer number of events we managed to fit into this incredible day! The day kicked off early in the morning with Rachel and her sweet bridesmaids. It was so apparent how special each […]

melissa + kellen | LOVE BENEATH MY WINGS

Inquiries for at-home weddings and backyard celebrations have been popping up more and more in my inbox, and I figured it was long past overdue to share this intimate wedding editorial I photographed last year in northern California!

shi-hua + justin | BERKELEY WEDDING

Seven years ago, these two met by total chance in a little campus coffee shop. Their first conversation was a challenge – literally. Justin bet the pretty girl working behind the counter that she couldn’t make an espresso on par with his other favorite coffee shop’s. Shi-Hua took the challenge. They kept talking.. and talking.
