Have you ever met a couple for the first time yet felt that they were your longtime friends? Meet Kim and Brandon! They were madly in love and super laid-back and fun. And on top of all that, Kim is a singer and song writer (anyone who knows me would know how important singing is to me)! When Kim sang the song called “Feels Like Home” for Brandon during their ceremony, it touched my heart and I teared up. Her voice was beautiful!! Kim and Brandon made a lot of the wedding details themselves and we loved the Western-themed details throughout the whole wedding. Loved how they incorporated their baby dog Django into the cake topper 🙂 [ read more … ]

This is a love story about a French girl and an American boy who met in Japan and have been in love ever since. Lucile and Michael’s modern travel-themed wedding was held at CuriOdyssey, witnessed and blessed by their family and friends from all around the world. They have put so much effort into the details – Lucile handmade ALL of the origami bouquets, boutonnieres, guest favors, and the centerpieces herself, and they incorporated French, American, and Japanese culture seamlessly into their wedding. Oh, and the tie that Michael wore was made of a piece of fabric from Lucile’s wedding dress! I was in full candid mode for the entire wedding because M&L really wanted organic moments of their special day. So I promise you, there is not a single posed photo here. Now, let the photos bring you back to a perfect day for a sweet couple. [ read more … ]

Mel & Chavon had their evening wedding at the beautiful Casa Real on New Year’s Eve! Mel runs her own bakery business and she stayed up all night the night before to make her gorgeous seven-tier wedding cake!! Everyone was wowed by Mel’s breathtaking creation and the decorations including the grand hanging chandelier. We spent 30 minutes in the bridal suite to take some getting ready photos right before the ceremony and got a lot of great shots. Thanks to you Mel, you’re truly a stunning bride! [ read more … ]

I’ve been waiting for Tina and Marty’s big day since their engagement shoot this summer. They’re a super lovely couple and their wedding ceremony has been the most emotional one I’ve shot so far! T&M wanted to keep the traditions but also couldn’t wait to spend a few minutes with each other before the ceremony, so they opted for a “first touch” — meeting each other back-to-back under a tree without looking. It was such a perfect choice for them! Romantic and personal, yet keeping all the emotion and surprises for the moment Tina walked down the aisle with her parents. It was their love and trust for each other that made everyone cry at the ceremony and it was a beautiful moment to witness and share with you all.

Congratulations, Tina and Marty!

Kari and Cameron said “I do” in front of their family and friends at Maverick’s Surf Break located in this lovely town called Princeton-by-the-Sea. Their first look was a very sweet one and we’re so glad we were able to document the deep love between them. Kari is a really cool bride! She galloped her way to the wedding ceremony on her horse!
