Starting your engagement shoot with a cocktail or two is always a plus! Amanda and John asked me to meet them at Better Sorts Social Club, a fresh new bar in Downtown Boston. I immediately fell in love with the modern, jewel-toned decor (omg velvet everywhere yes pleeeease), wood paneling and over all mid-century lounge vibes.

Read MoreI’ve said it once, I will say it a thousand times: I LOVE BACK YARD WEDDINGS. Besides the obvious savings on a venue, backyard weddings are a great way to have a personal wedding, in a setting that will be totally unique to you! It can really open up your possibilities on the big day and give you flexibility that some wedding venues may not offer. Brittany and Matt were able to throw the most personalized and perfect New England wedding, sharing the things they love with all the people they love most.
Read MoreWhen couples are stumped on where they should do their engagement photos, I always ask them what they would do on a normal date night. Lilli and Cole are huge craft cocktail fans, so we started their session in Downtown San Diego at You and Yours Distillery, one of their favorite spots.
Read MoreWhen I first met up with Anne and Ben to chat about their wedding plans, the whole conversation immediately became about dogs. We met at dog friendly brewery and had a hard time focusing with all the furry friends around us. Pups are probably about half of my heart, having worked with dogs as a walker and vet tech for years before I became a full time photographer. Dog people are always my people and it seemed like a pretty perfect fit as soon as the three of us started to chat.

Read MoreThe 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!
Read MoreBalboa 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?!
