I’m a wedding photographer based in California. I’m obsessed with capturing love stories and traveling anywhere my passport will take me.

My hometown is Santa Cruz, and my chosen home is Los Angeles. Whether you want a photographer local to the area or a photographer to travel to a new destination alongside you, I’m your gal.

Quick stats:

• Wanted to be a photographer since the 2nd grade
• Studied Fine Arts + Photography at USC
• Photographed my first wedding in 2013
• Editing style is bright, timeless, colorful
• Countries traveled to: 20
• Continents traveled to: 6

And now for the fun part, the vibe check! As your photographer, we’ll be spending a lot of time together. To preserve the sacredness of your precious moments, it’s crucial to choose a photographer that you feel comfortable with and enjoy being around. Here’s an insight into the things that I love and the things that make me, me!

Let’s start with the most important. That handsome guy is Austin. We met freshman year of college in a photography class, and have been together ever since. He’s the reason why I believe in Happily Ever After.

FYI, I just let out a very resigned sigh while staring at this photo. Because I am such a cliche. A not-so-little secret about me is that I didn’t want a dog, and certainly not a puppy.

But I think dogs can sense who they have to win over. There’s no bond quite as strong as the bond between a dog and the spouse that didn’t want them. Cut to 2 years later, and I’m not exaggerating when I say this guy OWNS ME. It does help that he is the sweetest, bestest boy that exists.

Since I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California, the beach is a core piece of who I am.

At our old apartment in Los Angeles, we lived pretty far from the coast. During a particularly long and difficult season of life, my husband tossed me in the car and drove the 80+ minutes in traffic to park us cliffside, overlooking Malibu Beach. He looked at me and said gently, “You’re more yourself when you’re looking at the ocean.”

You can find me at least once a week in Carmel-by-the Sea, with my feet in the ocean (even when it’s way too freaking cold to be anywhere near it).

I’m a HUGE Disney freak. Like, I basically live in Disneyland. If you’re looking for me, you should probably check there first. Check out my side project: Churros & Magic for all my tips & recommendations.

And there you have it! Check back soon for more of my recent work and favorite travel destinations.

If you need me in the meantime, you can find me editing while binge watching my favorite shows (The Office, Survivor, Scrubs) or singing loudly to Fall Out Boy.
