Youssef & Neda got engaged at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, California. Let me tell you, this was such a precious proposal! Youssef got down on one knee when Neda was turned around looking at the gorgeous view of the ocean. The sun was setting, which made it even more beautiful! It was such a magical moment when Neda turned back around to see Youssef on one knee, smiling up at her. I want to keep reliving this moment, it was so sweet! These two are perfect together, and I am honored to have captured this chapter of their lives. They have a sweet and genuine bond and love each other so much ..read more

Terri and Ean’s wedding was scheduled for 2020 but was rescheduled 3 times due to pandemic.  They were finally going to be able to celebrate their love with family and friends.  Terri Loves Disney and was going to have her dream wedding and it truly was spectacular. The Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery staff and service the venue gave was phenomenal. Everything was ready early and they even had a beverage/appetizer cart bar that came with us during cocktail hour to keep the wedding party and couple hydrated.  The music was the best and had the guest on the dance floor all nigh ..read more

I am so excited to write a post about these top San Diego Wedding Venues. When I was thinking of my top locations I knew ones I instantly wanted to include that I have loved shooting at over the years. All the venues are beautiful throughout the year, which is the beauty of San Diego. I would avoid Tivoli and Avensole Winery in September, when possible due to the summer heat that is felt inland as opposed to closer to the beach. 1.

I am constantly reminded of what a wonderful job I have as a wedding photographer. One of my favorite things to do is get to know my clients and know their story. With Amira and Hunter family and friends were really important to them. When they were in High School, Hunter told her friend he would marry her one day.  They became high school sweethearts and he did just that! He married her around their family and friends and it was absolutely beautiful. After I leave a wedding I love reflecting on what made it such a special day. At Amira and Hunter’s wedding they had a surprise live perfor ..read more

When I think about this couple I think about pure love and joy. They celebrated their love at Twin Oaks Wedding in San Marcos California by Trade Mark Venues, surrounded by family and friends from all over Bay area and Southern California. They were such a sweet couple. Lena is a shy person, but as soon as she saw Blain, her face just lit up and you and could tell he was her home. There are some weddings I will be a part of and you feel extra spark to the couple, and this was definitely one of them. When Blain saw her he couldn’t stop twirling her and telling her how beautiful she was. That mo ..read more
