Julie + Patrick | wedding

Julie + Patrick’s gorgeous wedding was held in Joshua Tree, just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, at the Sacred Sands Bed and Breakfast. Isaac and I instantly fell in love with this unique, cozy, and well-designed bed and breakfast, surrounded by stunning dessert landscape! Julie + Patrick are such an amazing couple, and both so artistic and creative! Many of the designs and wedding theme were created by the couple, and I loved that Patrick actually went rock climbing in Joshua Tree a few hours before the wedding! There were also many eco friendly aspects to their wedding - all the succulents on the tables and even the succulent bouquets were re-plantable, all the food was organic vegetarian cuisine from the couple’s own favorite recipes, and even the Sacred Sands is an environmentally-friendly building (built using strawbale walls as insulation). As wedding favors, everyone received a poster with the couple’s wedding logo + theme from Clone Press, and Julie’s gorgeous dress was by Jim Hjelm. The reception was held outside under a canopy of stars, and they had bunt cakes and biscottis for dessert. All in all, a perfect evening!

Claudia + Alex | engagement

Last week, we drove up to LA to shoot Claudia + Alex’s engagement session. These are two of the nicest people, and we’re in love with their little Boston Terrier dog, Poinsettia, and wanted to take her home with us! Both Claudia and Alex share a passion for architecture, so we spent our time wandering around UCLA’s campus to use the clean lines and brick buildings. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year at the gorgeous Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu!
