Engagement

Feel Good, Authentic Torrey Pines Romantic Engagement Photos

I met up with Erica and Chris for a stunning engagement session at Torrey Pines State Beach, where they also took time to celebrate their recent pregnancy. We hiked up to the tip-top, and sped (slowly) down to the water just in time for the clouds to show a magnificent cotton candy sunset! It was one of those sunsets you take the time to enjoy and take it all in.

I’m so excited for what’s to come for these two and their wedding in Mexico next year!

Here’s a few favorites:

Never in my career have I ever had a groom wield a Never in my career have I ever had a groom wield a Gibson Flying V guitar, and absolutely RIP performing during his own wedding reception! We were all at Adriana + Bradford’s rock show that day. 🎸 Image 2 - do you remember the first time you saw a real life princess? The field trip was stopped dead in their tracks. You can’t help but notice how much these two are head over heels for each other. I admired how focused they were on the moment, and these have become some of my favorite portraits of the sweetest couple. 💙 So much fun working with @theseabird @blissevent @blissevent_ashley on this special SD wedding! #sdwedding #seabirdwedding #socalwedding #authenticwedding
Natalie + Lars for their seaside session. For me Natalie + Lars for their seaside session. For me, engagement sessions are a great way to meet my couple, and get them acclimated to being in front of my camera. But more than that, it’s a way for me to learn WHO they are. What’s important to them, what makes them laugh. @theweddingplanandcompany @theweddingplanandco_christie If there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s really connecting with my couples. Because we can all learn something from one another. It’s more than just a transaction for me. Love big 💙 #pointdumeengagement #malibuwedding #malibuengagement #authenticwedding
Long live black and white, and Dylan + Anthony’s L Long live black and white, and Dylan + Anthony’s Long Island wedding. 🤍 I admire couples like them, who live every moment to the fullest, while completely in love along the way. The way that Anthony picked up and kissed Dylan after catholic mass really stopped me in my tracks - He loves her boldly, anywhere they are together. Completely in the moment, and head over heels for each other. Love these two so much. 💙 @bournemansion @lessingsweddings #bournemansionwedding #longislandwedding #newyorkwedding
What an honor to photograph US Olympian Kristine O What an honor to photograph US Olympian Kristine O’Brien’s NY wedding. Both her and Brian were SO much fun to work with - I just couldn’t stop laughing and smiling around them. They truly made everyone around them feel so loved! From standing on the world stage as a US Olympian to standing hand in hand with the love of their life, every moment of this day carried intention, grace, and heart. Love you both! 💙 #bournemansionwedding #longislandwedding #nywedding
