Any couple that has created a “merged name” (a.k.a. “Brangelina”) is automatically more fun. Brett and Jessica, sometimes referring to themselves as “Bressica” are so stinkin’ adorable I can hardly stand it!
When Brett and Jessica contacted me, they were getting ready to move away from their beloved city, Santa Monica. They wanted to capture...

{brett + jessica = bressica} santa monica picnic & rooftop engagement
{justin + danielle} Carmel Forest and Beach Engagement
Justin and Danielle are phenoms. I swear.
They are probably two of the most talented and successful young people under 25. Danielle works as an executive for State Farm Insurance, and Justin works in Sales for Pebble Beach Golf Course. (This meant I got a special sneak peek of the course after the recent US Open!...
{aeron + christin} venice beach maternity engagement
Venice Beach comforts me, strangely. It’s a wild and eccentric place, but I think that I feel oddly at ease, because it reminds me of home: The Bay Area – particularly Berkeley… (aka “Bezerkly”).
Aeron and Christin came to me with a creative idea – a maternity engagement shoot! They are getting married next April, and...
{zack + megan} tomales bay oyster love
Mmmm! Oysters! You either love ‘em or hate ‘em.
Megan and Zack love ‘em!! And they invited me to join them on Tomales Bay for such a yummy engagement shoot. We all sat around and enjoyed some tabasco-and-lime-covered delicacies with a little Prosecco. Mmmm…
Not to mention, I got to play with their little puppy Sierra… I...
{kevin + jamie} san francisco engagement
I am starting to see a theme with Jamie, Kevin and I. It’s beer.
I first met them over beers back in 2008, while shooting the MLB All-Star Party in San Francisco. I snapped a shot of them with the legendary Wade Boggs, while celebrating with everyone that night. Months later, I heard from them: “We’re...
{steve + diana} country apple farm engagement
At the end of our engagement session I said to Steve and Diana: “I don’t know HOW MANY rules (ahem… “laws”…) we broke, but we got AMAZING photos!”
We jumped fences, trespassed several times (maybe more unknowingly), laid in the soil of orchards, and juggled apples on a farm. I loved shooting these two. Who would have thought...
{eric + michelle} records + a cafe engagement
Eric and Michelle could not be cuter – except when they pull out their adorable little pug, Pebbles – the cuteness factor goes through the roof!
We had such a great time traipsing through their favorite things about the city: good music (hence, Aquarius Record Shop), good wine and drink (Eric is a winemaker for Freeman Winery), poker...
{chris + tannya} beach + woodsy engagement
If “being in love” was a drink… Chris & Tannya would be champagne! They are bubbly and sweet. So adorable.
Tannya and I have so many mutual friends (I have photographed a number of their friends’ weddings….the list keeps growing and growing….we were destined to shoot together!) it was awesome when she called me up to...
{ted + megan} downtown danville engagement!
I seriously love shooting in my hometown. It was great hanging with Ted and Megan today in all the places I spent my childhood. I had flashbacks of being a 10-year-old-terror in most of the places we went ;)
We wandered around the old historic downtown Danville Hotel (built in the 1860’s!), and then made our...
{matt + carrie} beer, ice cream + laundry engagement!
I love this town. Matt + Carrie were the greatest hosts, and they made my first trip to North Carolina a memorable one! Matt works as a middle-school educator and Carrie is a photographer (see her work here!) as well as an Air Quality Engineer. Thus – they are very passionate about the environment and...
