Matt + Erin | South Lake Tahoe Engagement Session

  Matt & Erin got engaged this past summer while hiking a glacier in Alaska.  We drove up to South Lake Tahoe, CA  for this adventurous couples engagement session in the mountains. If you can’t tell from these images, Matt & Erin have so much fun together. We may have had to make a little […]

We’ve all seen them. Heck, most of us have wedding boards filled with them. I’m talking about those perfectly styled images on Pinterest of an invitation suite with wedding bands, florals, and lace. How do you ensure these end up in your wedding album you ask?! The secret is planning, my friend! My biggest advice […]

Their love shows through their constant humor and laughter with one another and I […]

  2016, you have been quite a year. I finally had a little time to spend the afternoon reflecting on what the past year held for me. Better late than never, right?! This last year was nothing close to easy, but it was also filled with the best experiences and accomplishes I’ve had yet. Between […]

  Austin and Jessica got engaged November 4, 2016, when Austin got down on one knee one just as the sun began to rise on the beach in San Diego. I am truly honored to have been able to capture the love between the two of them during such an exciting time in their lives. Not […]
