Outdoor Wedding at The Garland | Grace & Peter The Garland Wedding Photos | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer Grace and Peter’s beautiful outdoor wedding at The Garland in North Hollywood was filled with classic romance, big emotions, and blending of traditions.

Twin Oaks House and Gardens Wedding | Alexis & Aaron Wedding at Twin Oaks House and Gardens in San Marcos, California Alexis and Aaron’s heartfelt Twin Oaks House and Gardens wedding was equal parts family oriented, ethereal, and nerdy—all in the best way possible.

To top it off, Alexis and Aaron are two of the kindest humans I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet, and spending the day with them was ..read more

    EL DORADO PARK GOLF COURSE, LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA In my years photographing weddings, I’ve learned that love is in the way that we look at each other—the inside jokes, the affection, the easing of nerves, all shared in silent glances.

Throughout their wedding day, Matt and Sarah’s connection and mutual respect was clear in the way they looked to each other, spoke to each other, and considered each other. On their first date, Matt brought ..read more
