About Me

I'm a wedding and portrait photographer in Southern California, documenting weddings in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego County and worldwide. I love to travel! I strive to capture the complete story of every wedding I photograph and infuse a bit of fashion - inspired portraiture into my photojournalistic coverage. What I love most about my amazing job is capturing the love and connection between couples and their friends and family! I feel so fortunate to be a part of the amazing team at Next Exit Photography Studio! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or leave a comment! Comments make me happy! ;)

Thank you for visiting my BLOG!

Daily Candy Wedding Edition | featured!

I did a little happy dance this week when I found out I would be the featured wedding photographer on the Daily Candy’s Los Angeles wedding edition and in the Fall 2008 Daily Candy wedding guide! The Daily Candy has been an amazing resource for new trends, fashion, style, and travel, and it was such an honor being featured on their site! I want to thank my awesome couple Julia + Anthony for recommending me to the editor (their wedding teasers are coming soon!) You can read the full article by clicking on the banner below. This week keeps getting better and better - Isaac and I are off today for Santa Ynez to document the wonderful Kara + Dave as they tie the knot! We’ll be back on Monday! Have a great weekend everyone!

Paige + John | engagement

John proposed to Paige at an intimate winery, aptly named Paige 23, so it was only fitting that they had their engagement session at a winery as well. We had a great time exploring Temecula wine country! There were so many beautiful locations and picture perfect vineyards, and Paige and John absolutely rocked their session. All in all, it was an awesome afternoon. Isaac and I also discovered an amazing restaurant called the Public House while walking along antique browsing. Old Town Front Street is so cute, we definitely need to come up to Temecula more often!

















Lara + Luis | wedding

Lara & Luis held their wedding at the Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach. Their wedding was filled with the warmth of family and friends and uber delicious food! We’re talking really good fajitas!









I loved this wall…and it conveniently went with their wedding colors!












Plan it OC

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting some head shots for the awesome coordinators and floral designer at Planit OC, an Floral & Event Boutique. I had the pleasure of working with Terri at Tia & Mike’s Wedding at Rancho Las Lomas, and she is amazing and so wonderful to work with.

Rick + Sheryl | wedding

Rick & Sheryl had an amazingly, beautiful wedding at Maravilla Gardens, one of my favorite venues nestled in Camarillo! Their wedding was centered around their family and they had the most amazing wedding favors set up as a country pantry, including honey, jam, and zucchini pickles from their family member’s own recipies. They also had an awesome grand exit through sparklers! Sheryl’s gorgeous dress was a Pronovias and the flowers were done by Yamaguchi flowers.

Some awesome details!

The toasts were amazing, so much emotion!
