I love Los Angeles. I love the city and the crazy people and the not-too-old history. I love being a tourist in this city. Which means I love when people come visit us from out of town so I have an excuse to be a tourist. Last weekend I had a friend in town and [...]

Keith and Shannon got married on Saturday (another destination wedding for me)! These 2 are SO cute together, with their silly little nicknames and their affections … so cute. The wedding took place in Paso Robles (wine country) at Pear Valley Vineyard. This is a newer vineyard that you may not have come across if [...]

For various, multiple, unfortunately unavoidable reasons, Angela had to buy her wedding dress when she arrived in Florence, 2 days before her wedding.

Our final post from Angela and Brandon’s Florence, Italy destination wedding …. The hotel where they got married has a beautiful big terrace overlooking the city of Florence.

Brandon and Angela took all of their (13) wedding guests to the Tuscan countryside for olive oil, wine tasting and a homemade meal.

I’ve been to Disneyland several times over the last year …. and I don’t even have a season pass (I should get one!) … I love love love Disneyland. I grew up in Southern California, and there was a stretch of time growing up when I was at the park at least once a year. [...]

Ok. That’s it. I officially am in love with destination weddings. It is so amazing to be pulled out of a comfort zone of your home town and be invited to photograph a BEAUTIFUL couple in an equally BEAUTIFUL location. In this case, Florence. Seriously, please consider having your wedding anywhere from Puerto Rico to [...]
