What can  I say other than Tasha and Ryan’s wedding was stunning. Tasha has an awesome sense a style and is definitely a girl that knows what she wants, and I can appreciate that! Their Westlake Village Inn wedding was a joy to photograph and I am so excited to share them with you!

Posted in Photography, Upper Las Virgenes/Ahmanson Ranch, Weddings

I simply cannot explain how excited I am to post this wedding! Sarah and Luke are not only two of the funniest people I have met but they also have a ton of style which overflowed at their Ahmanson Ranch House (now called Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve) wedding. It was romantic, rustic and chic and I absolutely fell in love with them as a couple as well as their details.

Here are more than a few of my favorites from their gorgeous wedding day:

Posted in Engagements, Photography

Kimie loves Masa, Masa loves Kimie. They are adorable, creative, and sweet. Since they booked me from San Diego we did not get a chance to meet before their engagement session so it was a little like a blind date. We slipped right into conversation and relaxed as we strolled along on the perfect San Diego day. I had a blast walking around Balboa Park and getting to know their personalities and hearing all about their wedding plans. Kimie is a talker and Masa avidly listens to her chatting. I love a bride who keeps a conversation going!

I cannot wait for their wedding at WayFarer’s Chapel in Palos Verdes this coming August.

Here are some photos from their San Diego Engagement session:
