Bri + Max {San Luis Obispo Engagement}

Bri and Max are a carefree and happy couple. Lovers of SLO and its surrounding mountains, we headed up Prefumo Canyon. Reaching the top, along with their trusty sidekick Mave, you could tell they were instantly at peace. I love when couples are fueled by their surroundings, as I am very much the same way. As expected, the session was full of cuddles, laughs and just hanging out and appreciating the landscape. Looking forward to their wedding! Much love, you two!

San Luis Obispo Wedding {Nicole + Keith}

A celebration indeed! I worked with Keith back in the day, pouring wine and doing projects around the vineyard. His family is the owners of one of the best wineries in SLO County, Kelsey See Canyon Vineyard. Mix some damn good wine with a place like the spacious and natural La Cuesta Ranch, and you’re set for a good time. Nicole was gorgeous and stress fee the whole day, as a bride should be. The night ended with the boots hitting the barn floor to some live local music!

Marin Headlands Engagement {Stephanie + Chris}

Stephanie and Chris are getting married on the Central Coast this summer! Their engagement photos were done in the gorgeous Marin Headlands. They even brought their awesome fluffy pup with them for the photos. Can’t wait until their wedding!

Tracie + Travis {Elopement in Morro Bay CA}

The fun and excitement of celebrating a marriage with a large wedding is an amazing thing, but there is something to say about the intimacy of a quiet marriage on an empty beach with your family. Tracie and Travis were wed in Morro Bay with their parents and dear friend officiating. They followed it up with a boat ride and champaign all around. They kept the news quiet and decided to make their honeymoon a 2 month trip across the U.S.A. to personally tell friends and family. So cool!!! This is a lovely couple with thoughtful hearts… They even mailed me a selection of loose leaf tea (my favorite), as a thank you. Truly a refreshing day! Thank you guys for letting me see the beauty in simplicity.

Kendal + Patrick {Engaged} Pleasanton, CA

These two are getting married this fall at Nella Terra Cellars in Sunol, California. Their engagement session was a fun rainy day in Pleasanton, California. Perfect time of year, with the lush greens and blossoms on the trees. I love capturing couples just having fun together, cuddling under an umbrella, and walking through downtown. Looking forward to their wedding soon! 

Mike + Christina {Engaged} Central Coast

These two love SLO and all its surrounding nature. We decided to head out to Montana De Oro and take our time capturing them just cruising around, snuggling up, and enjoying each other in the quiet surroundings. 

Justin + Carrie {Engaged} San Luis Obispo

A dear friend and his bride to be on the windy golden hills of San Luis Obispo and downtown. I’m so happy for these two and so privileged to capture these photos of them!

My Wife & Baby Girl {on the way}

The Cliffs and a stroll on Shell Beach, just killing some time until our little lady is due in just a few days. Here is candid capture of my lovely bride and all the beauty that she is to me right now. I feel like I’m in one of my past daydreams looking into my perfect present. The peace that is placed in my heart watching my wife, barefoot in the sand, carrying the little soul of our baby girl is so mystifying that I wonder if a man could be happier. I’ll probably have that answer in just a few days…

I love you, my love.

 

Matthew + Ashley [Engaged] San Luis Obispo

Such a pleasure to get to capture family and be a part of all of the fun moments leading up to the wedding. My cousin Matthew and his beautiful new fiancé Ashley decided to have their engagement photos out in the nature of Los Osos and Montaña de Oro. It was a bit of a blustery day, but they braved the storm and some beautiful images came from it! I’m so happy for these two.

Mia + Stephen [Engaged] San Luis Obispo

Mia and Stephen are getting married in Arroyo Grande in late summer. They are such a fun and lovable couple! They light up when they’re with each other. I can’t wait to capture their fun wedding day. Enjoy their engagement photos from their adorable SLO house and the wildflowers in Santa Margarita!
