The dunes are totally magical, but Berlynn and Jarred could have asked to have their portraits taken at the dump and still would have probably killed me. I love the desert and all the wild forms it takes. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to dream up engagements, elopements and weddings in! These two are freaking special and I’m so grateful for this adventure with them. If you are ever looking for someone to head to the desert with, I am ALWAYS game!

Balboa Park is a totally iconic part of San Diego, and I’m pretty sure Michelle and Brent are totally an iconic part of my life now. In the early days of their falling in love, they met up at Panama 66 pretty regularly. This was the perfect place to start their engagement session. We grabbed a beer or two and Michelle and Brent basically couldn’t stop grinning at each other. These cutie angel babies seem to totally sparkle around each other, while also just being total goofs. We had so much fun wandering around Balboa and I can definitely can not freaking wait for their wedding at BLDG 177. Is it April yet?!

Years ago Nydia (from San Diego) and Matty (from Boston) met while touring the country. It would be years later that they reconnected (maybe or maybe not thanks to me at Pete…) and fell in love. 3000 miles couldn’t come between them, and Nydia moved to Massachusetts to be with Matty.

Joshua Tree is definitely one of the places that you want to be the passenger in the car. There is so much to look at in every direction, so I was so grateful to met up with Aubrey and Zack on a overcast and breezy day before we entered the park. On top of having an incredible van, they are also avid rock climbers and were amazing tour guides. As we explored, they pointed out their favorite climb spots and showed me some really amazing parts of the park.

Surrounded by palm trees, La Valencia has the most incredible pink facade that screams classic Souther California. It’s also steps away from the beach and you can go see all the seals! Chloe is a total cartoon character and ran circles around us chasing seagulls and posing like a pro.

If you’re anything like me, you probably don’t love having your photo taken. While Kaitlin originally didn’t want to even have a photographer, Chris was able to convince her and we ended up having a blast! Having the trial run of an engagement shoot before the wedding has always lead to confident and trusting clients day of.

The last time I was in Chicago, somehow someone convinced Pete, Nate and myself to do a Polar Bear Plunge with them on New Years Day. While I will never do that again, I have zero hesitations about visiting Chicago in the winter. When Nate told me he was getting married, I jumped on a plane as fast as I could in January to meet his lucky lady. I think Anna and I fell in love immediately and I am SO so excited for her and Nate.
