Mountain top engagement and married in a windmill! Carlsbad, CA | Kate & Jeffery

With immediate family and friends, Kate and Jeffery had an emotional and dreamy ceremony in the barn. They hired a live stream vendor so that all the loved ones who Covid was keeping away could still be a part of the celebration. After photos with the Windmill and cocktails, we all gathered in the ballroom! It was so nice to be at a wedding again and celebrating!!

Windy & Romantic Winter Engagement Photos in Joshua Tree | Linzi & Derrick


Linzi contacted me for a last minute shoot in Joshua Tree. I’m always game for JTree and we set up a shoot for a few days later. It was definitely a chilly day in the park but Linzi and Derrick were troopers. We had a blast exploring the Hall of Horrors and taking in the Sunset from the highest point in the park. They told me all about what they do for work and how they met!

Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanical Garden Engagement. LA, CA | Laura & Alex

Since this was no longer an option, Laura researched other locations and found that the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanical Garden was another excellent, magical option. On top of a huge variety of different plant life and peacocks, it also has a few magical buildings that give off Small World and Matterhorn vibes! It was also an excellent, Covid-friendly option, which was all outdoors and with plenty of spaces from anyone else.

Downtown San Juan Capistrano Engagement | Nicole and Arthur

Nicole contacted me in hopes of taking engagement photos at the Mission San Juan Capistrano. They are planning a wedding at the Franciscan Gardens and wanted photos for their invitations! The Mission is SUCH a magical spot and I love shooting there, so we were both super bummed when we found out it was currently closed due to Covid. We discussed alternative locations, but the area around the Mission is still super cute, so we decided to head there!

Laid Back San Diego Park Engagement. | Morgan & Andrew

Morgan contacted me to shoot her wedding at Mt. Woodson Castle in 2020! Mt. Woodson is such a magical (and supposedly haunted!!) actual castle nestled in Ramona, California. The perfect spot for a fairy tale wedding! Naturally, 2020 threw Morgan and Andrew for a few crazy loops. While the wedding of their dreams didn’t happen as planned, they did have an epic year full of good things and buying a house! We were lucky enough to find some time over the holidays to take some photos and I had such a blast with these two.
