Alex + Theresa

Alex and Theresa’s wedding day was one of the most beautiful weddings I was a part of this year! I absolutely loved working with them and being the one to capture these memories for the two of them and their families! Happy Hollow Club is always one of my favorite venues to shoot at and working alongside Jessica and Rachel and her team is always so much fun! Check out their day below!!

Kayla + Drew

I had the honor to travel down to Scottsdale, Arizona for Kayla and Drew’s amazing wedding celebration! The backdrop to the ceremony spot was my absolute favorite thing ever! I was introduced to Kayla and Drew through my good friend and amazing photographer who I got to shoot this wedding alongside, Yoni Gill. So many special moments from this day, check out their awesome wedding day highlights below :)

Casey + Casey

I believe this is my first wedding where the bride and groom shared the same first names! Casey and Casey got married on Hasting College’s beautiful campus, it just made their portrait sessions and the ceremony so easy with everything being absolutely perfect! I loved getting to work alongside Pha Nguyen who was filling in for Deana Coufal. Both of their work is so so good, make sure and check them out! And lastly, during the reception, the groom’s cousin, Aiden, performed a traditional dance called the taualuga instead of the normal dollar dance, and it was really cool to have that incorporated in the celebration as well! Check it out below!

Jake + Megan

It’s nice to be updating the site with some recent work again! Jake and Megan’s wedding day is a FANTASTIC way to kick it off 2022! This wedding weekend was unreal to say the least, just by the length of the highlight video alone haha (which I looked back at most of the ones I’ve done and it’s the longest one I saw) Just such a fun-filled day with so many great memories to look back on and cherish forever. Megan and Jake, thank you SO much. Enjoy!

Sam and Erica’s brunch-style wedding day didn’t necessarily all go according to plan, as with a lot of 2020 wedding days, but it didn’t stop it from being an absolutely incredible day of celebration! This day might be up there with the most amount of un-prompted kisses and smiling from ear to ear shots ever in a wedding highlight video haha! Enjoy! (video and vendors at bottom of post!)

With Ben and Renee’s due date coming up here in a couple days, I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos from their maternity shoot we did when we visited Catalina Island back in February.

Nell + JD

Nell & JD’s August wedding day was one for the books! It was such an honor to be apart of this elegant wedding at such a beautiful venue! One thing I absolutely love is live music on wedding days, and in this case, there were two different bands! And both were so much fun to listen to! Everything about this day was amazing, you should check it out for yourself! Enjoy!

I love getting the honor to photograph milestones in people’s lives, especially really good friends! The Ueckers and I drove out to the rolling hills in Iowa to take some maternity photos in such a beautiful area with some amazing light from the man upstairs. I really love how these photos turned out and I can’t wait to meet the little guy here in a couple more months! Lastly, Amanda did such a wonderful job on this makeup as well! Enjoy!
