2015 Year in Review

I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

Pamela + William (Wedding Photography) @ Wagner’s Grove, Santa Cruz, California

Until I met Pam and Bill, I didn’t even know that you could get married at Wagner’s Grove, which is a short hike up from Harvey West Park in Santa Cruz. It’s a lovely redwood grove, though, and it’s nice that you don’t have to go way up into the Santa Cruz mountains to access […]

Stephanie + Kevin Wedding (Album Design) @ Felton Guild

If you’d like to get married in an intimate, natural grove of redwoods, but have the convenience of a restaurant and outdoor seating for a couple hundred people nearby, Felton Guild is the ideal location for your wedding. The following photos are album spreads from Stephanie and Kevin’s Felton Guild wedding – representing their favorite […]

Lauren + Graham (Post-Wedding Bridal Photography) @ Santa Cruz

Sometimes the wedding day just get a little too busy, too crazy, and there’s just not enough time to get those beautiful bride and groom portraits. Lauren’s dad has a beautiful property in the Santa Cruz mountains, replete with lush garden “rooms,” redwoods, vines and even an odd antique bed frame thrown in there. We […]

Stephanie + Kevin (Wedding Photography) @ Felton Guild, Felton, California

I really luck out and get to work with the coolest couples with my job. During their Quicksilver Almaden Park (San Jose) engagement session, I got a chance to see Stephanie and Kevin’s personalities show through.  They are two peas in a pod, always smiling and joking around. They decided to get married at Felton […]

Tiia + Justin (Engagement Photography) @ Nisene Marks Forest, Aptos

Tiia and Justin are a really sweet couple, if not a little shy on the outset. I think they felt comfortable with me, though, and let some of their true personality shine through. I know it’s not easy when a complete stranger tells you how to touch your fiance, where this hand and that arm […]

Lilly and Chris (Engagement Photography) @ Uvas Canyon, Morgan Hill

If you’ve ever been to Uvas Canyon County Park, you know just how far off the beaten path it is. While technically in Morgan Hill, it’s at least 40 minutes from that town. But man it is totally worth the drive! I met Lilly and Chris at the state park on the first sunny day […]

Meghan and John (Felton Wedding Photography) @ Roaring Camp Railroads

Meghan and John are big into the outdoors – hiking, camping, whatever. If it’s under the roof of the sky, they’re down with it. We started out our friendship with a smokin’ hot engagement session in Santa Cruz. We started out with a “lost hiker” theme which somehow turned into a bikini/shorts-clad Baywatch I’m-gonna-rescue-you-from-that-shark type of […]

Erin + Justin (Roaring 20s Vintage Wedding Photography) @ Laurel Mill Lodge, Los Gatos

I *love* themed weddings, when a bride is inspired or passionate enough to create something unique or intimately connected to their personality. When Erin told me about her Roaring ’20s vintage wedding idea – replete with flapper dresses and bowler hats, I knew I had to be the photographer she would choose! She explained to […]

Jared + Jasmine (Roaring Camp Wedding Photography, Felton)

After our smokin’ hot engagement session at the beach, I couldn’t wait for Jared and Jasmine’s wedding at Roaring Camp in Felton. They are such a fun, happy couple – and clearly they’ve touched the hearts of so many friends and family. The whole wedding got a ride on the steam train through the redwoods […]

Justin + Erin (Engagement Photography)

I’m so looking forward to Justin and Erin’s wedding later on this year. They’re going with a Great Gatsby / 1920s theme for their wedding, so I’m definitely gonna have to sport a bowler hat to get in with the spirit of things. The engagement shoot took place up at their friend’s house in Bonny […]

Anna (Senior Portrait Photography)

I will forever remember this photo shoot – not because of the lovely Anna and all the great photos from her Senior Portrait session, but rather for the wicked case of poison oak I acquired during said shoot. I was dressed in a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops (typical Santa Cruz attire, mind you), which was […]

Forest Nymph, Captured (Portraits)

Janice has loads of personality – she’s crazy, spunky, vivacious, energetic, and has a mouth that would make a sailor blush (which she’s not afraid to use in her several hundred Yelp reviews – I fear for my future review!). She wanted to get some off-beat, yet professional portraits done–simply for the hell of it, […]

The 26 Million Dollar House (architecture)

Nestled on 28 acres of extremely private property in Portola Valley is a living relic from the roaring ’20s, and its name is Villa Lauriston. I won’t go into the history of the house as there are books published about it, but it was literally built from the ground it majestically sits upon. All the […]
