Juliana and Chase’s wedding at the Santa Margarita Ranch was lots of fun but also had a hip vibe to it! The Santa Margarita Ranch is a historic venue with rustic country vibes. The property is full of trains that are on “display” throughout the grounds. There are also stretches of wide open space with...

Inn of The Seventh Ray is a cute little wedding venue tucked away in the canyon! This was my second time out at this venue for a wedding. And I love the vibes there with the small Buddhist elements and fountains on the grounds. But, Monica & Noah’s wedding here, was technically a vow renewal....

This place is my all-time favorite venue on the Central Coast ~ there truly is nothing quite like a Spreafico Farms Wedding! When Catalina & Dylan hit me up to photograph their wedding out here, I was so stoked. I mean, between having the nicest owners ever (Brandon is the man!) and the sweeping 360...

Ahh, nothing like a Los Osos Couples Portrait Session ~ it is my hometown, after all! Which also means that I know pretty beautiful locations to capture couples portraits at, such as Montana de Oro State Park & Sweet Springs Nature Preserve. But you didn’t hear that from me… 😉

When it comes to dropping the knee, there’s no better plan than a Hammersky Vineyards Surprise Proposal in beautiful Paso Robles, CA. Yuri reached out to me a few weeks before his plan would come to fruition, and so we arranged a stealthy scheme for me to candidly capture his surprise proposal with his partner,...

Madhuri met up with me for some Downtown San Luis Obispo portraits recently! It was so fun to switch things up from my usual natural scenery to something more urban & modern. Forced me to tap into some different creativity and I learned a lot! Side note: I’ve known Madhuri since we were kids but...

So, funny story… Alizah + Nick booked me literally the day before their Santa Barbara Courthouse wedding! Things fell through with their original photographer, but with a stroke of luck I was available to capture their special day, and wow…how special things turned out to be.
