A Folktale Winery wedding is one of our new favorite venues! A getting ready chateau that resembles something you would find on the hillside in Tuscany, a ceremony location tucked in between rows of vineyards, and crawling greenery scaling the buildings and fences. It definitely resembles a fairy tale! We spent the morning with Erin […]

This Big Sur anniversary session left us breathless! Rachel and I don’t run into to many other mother daughter photography teams like us, then we met Tiffany & Mackenzie in Charleston last year, and we were immediate friends! How strange is it that Tiffany and I are the exact same age, as are our girls […]

We had been waiting for this Hidden Valley Music Seminars wedding for over a year! You may remember Jeff and Hien from their epic engagement session where they took us on our tour of Facebook land, rented out AT&T Park where the famous San Francisco Giants play, and had a fairy tale sunset ending to […]

We’ve always imagined what it would be like to be a Scottsdale wedding photographer. Destination weddings are like Christmas morning! You know it’s coming and plan every last detail. You wake up, jump out of bed, hurry to get ready, and the excitement is seriously sometimes too hard to bare. That is how much we love […]

It was early morning as we pulled into this secluded inn. Nestled in the foothills of Carmel Valley, so deep it actually takes longer for the sun to rise, we could hear the sounds of laughter. Girls walking from suite to suite to the sounds of a pretty awesome 90’s playlist, we knew today was going to […]

A Ragged Point wedding. As a local, we had heard of Ragged Point Inn, known for it’s fierce coastline, delicious restaurant, and breathtaking views. We never realized how long the Big Sur coast was, until we drove over two hours down the magnificent Highway One, and we were still in Big Sur! Two hours of […]

If Rachel and I were to tell you a secret, it would be one day in the very near future, we want to shoot in film. There is just something about film images, especially black and whites, that just captivates us. After editing this wedding, it has had the most fire art feel that anything […]

The quaintness of a Carmel wedding gets us every time! Tucked away in a small cottage, with a stone fireplace draped with florals (styled perfectly I might add), a porch with shutters and a view of the Pebble Beach greens stretched as far as the eye could see, was where we found Olivia. Hair and […]

A historic white southern house, dark green shutters, and stairs leading to a wrap around front pouch with pillars. The words that make our hearts go pitter-patter! There was not a cloud in the sky and all you could see is golden rolling hills for miles. We had been waiting for Megan and Morgan’s wedding […]

The room was filled with squeals and giggles as we opened the door to see Heather grinning from ear to ear. She was just gleaming, this was the day she had been waiting for her entire life, the day she would marry the love of her life! Weddings at Chaminade Resort & Spa are spectacular! The sun was […]

A Ritz Carlton Marina Del Rey wedding is a dream for anyone, right? Imagine this, we finished a 12 hour wedding, jumped in the rental car, and drive the six hours trip to Los Angeles. This was a pretty spontaneous trip for us! Christine, owner of Epiphany Boutique, was heading the LA Bridal Market to […]

Ten Days. That’s all we had. From three girls dreaming out loud, sharing ideas on how to improve a weekly Wedding Wednesday event, to producing and coordinating Monterey first Bridal  Runway Show sponsored by Pottery Barn (not to mention we had four weddings to capture throughout this planning process!). We work within a community so rich […]

A Romantic Big Sur Soberanes Point Elopement. It was late Sunday evening and I just happened to check my email. We always get a excited to see a new wedding request come in, and so without hesitation, opened up our calendar. I quickly did a double take. Reading the date once more, realizing it was two […]

Checked another HUGE business goal off our dream list! We spoke at The Inspired Story conference last week in Dallas, Texas, in front of a room full to  of christian women photographers. The very first afternoon, we were ask to lead a wedding couple posing course. We jumped at the opportunity, because that’s what we LOVE […]

Nestled deep in the mountains of Los Gatos, lies Redwood Ridge Estate, a dream private residence with koi ponds, redwoods, and vineyards as far as the eye can see. Toby and Katey were in for a warm one! It was nearly 80 degrees as we arrived, and for the California coast, that’s H-O-T! We found the […]

Our weekends are full of eight to ten hour (fast paced, never a dull moment) weddings, so when we asked to spend a few hours on a weekday afternoon, on a secluded Carmel beach with these two and their amazing families, we jumped at the opportunity. We arrived at the Hyatt Recency Hotel and Spa […]

We drove into the hill side of Monterey we had never explored before. Atop one of the gorgeous peaks, a house stood beneath the moss trees, that had views as far as the eye could see. We entered a house full of laughter and excitement, Ashley was just glowing! After hugging and squealing a bit […]

He jumped from a aircraft, plunging deep into the arctic ocean waters, to save her from drowning. Meeting face to face for the first time in the ridged waters of the Atlantic, nearly suffering from hypothermia, Addie’s life was saved by the heroic Trevor. Storybook love story right? This is actually how these two met, I […]

Tucked beneath the Big Sur redwoods, lie the quaint Big Sur River Inn, known by most of the locals. We arrived to the sounds of the birds chirping and flowing water, it was incredibly peaceful. We were less than an hour from Monterey, yet if felt we were no where near. The small inn room was […]

2017 is the year of shooting at venues that we have dreamed about for years! Mission Ranch has been at the top of local “must shoot” venues, and it didn’t fall short of our expectations! Lavish gardens, spectacular views of Point Lobos, Carmel River Beach and the Pacific Ocean, open fields of roaming sheep, and history dating […]

What do you get when you cross a gorgeous Justin Alexander gown from Epiphany Boutique, magnificent rings from Fire & Brilliance, and Kirsten, our stunning model? This Spring bridal inspiration shoot! Can you believe we captured the entire thing in our front yard!?!? We had big plans for this session, which included oceanfront and sunset, but Mother Nature […]

We’ve been SO excited to share this with you guys! If you’ve been following our journey, a few months ago, you saw Paul propose to Rachel with the most stunning Morganite engagement ring ever! Of course we shared the BIG news all over social media, tagging Fire & Brilliance, the amazing company who crafted the […]

Hello Spring! The crisp air begins to warm, flowers begin to bloom, the ocean blues seem to soften, and evenings stay lighter longer. It adds a carefree feeling, allowing couples to take advantage of outdoor dinners, lightweight sweaters, beach sunsets, and dusk strolls. They are all so romantic! We love to see couples cuddle, walking […]

The day called for 100% chance of rain. Not sprinkles, or passing showers, but pouring rain. Dustin and Hiwot had flown in from warm southern California, to enjoy the magnificent view of Carmel Valley. Both doctors, they used this time for true rest and relaxation from their eighty-hour work weeks. Holman Ranch, tucked away on a secluded […]
