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 […]

Sneak Peek: Pamela + William (Wedding Photography) @ Wagner’s Grove, Harvey West Park, Santa Cruz, California

Pam and Bill tied the knot in Wagner’s Grove – a beautiful little redwood nook in Harvey West Park, Santa Cruz, California. It was a short and sweet ceremony, with some delicious BBQ at the Clubhouse afterwards. Here’s a sneak peek of their wedding photos…   Getting married in the redwoods at Wagner’s Grove – […]

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 […]

Premium Wedding Photography Album Design (Ben + Monica / Bay Area)

Wedding albums – the ultimate keepsake from one of the biggest days of your life. These days so many couples skip the album in lieu of digital files, and while we, the professional photographers, must adapt to the online lifestyle and wants of our clientele, it’s nice to know that the physical wedding album hasn’t […]

Lindsey + George (Wedding Photography) @ Dream Inn, Santa Cruz

Lindsey contacted me a couple weeks before she was due to be married, telling me about how her and George had finally decided to tie the knot after 15 years together. Neither of them had ever been married, so it was neat to see it happen for them. The wedding took place at the Dream […]

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 […]

With a wedding in the morning at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz, and the reception at Quail Hollow Ranch in Aptos, Laura and Kalen had two beautiful locations to celebrate their union with all their friends and family.

Lila + Dylan (Chaminade Wedding Photography, Santa Cruz)

What a fun group of people Lila and Dylan invited to their Chaminade wedding in Santa Cruz. It was a whirlwind of tattoos & cocktails mixed with love, tears and happiness. A strong current of Jamaican spirit wove through the day’s festivities, building to a fever pitch when Reggae band Warrior King took the stage […]

Joe + Nikki (Santa Cruz Engagement Photography)

Even though I just booked Joe and Nikki’s wedding date with another couple just days before meeting them for the first time, I’m so glad I got to spend some QT with this wonderful couple at Three Mile beach just north of Santa Cruz. They both went to Cal Poly, SLO (entering as I was […]

Shannon + Greg (Engagement Photography)

Shannon and Greg are a fun, easygoing couple who aren’t afraid to roll with my crazy ideas. They wanted to have an engagement shoot at a beach in Santa Cruz, so after looking through some recent e-sessions I’ve done around the area, they settled on 3-Mile Beach. It’s a couple miles out of town, a […]

Joe + Christine (Engagement Photography)

I’ve been trying to get all my new brides-to-be excited about engagement sessions – they’re great practice for the big day, but in a low-stress, easygoing environment. There’s no dress, no bridesmaids, and certainly no mothers making unreasonable demands. It’s just me and the couple, exploring what poses and angles are the most flattering, and […]

Elizabeth + Pat (Eloped)

Elizabeth booked my services just a couple weeks before her wedding day. There were only a few people attending (Mom, Dad, Sis, Kids) so it was an incredibly intimate affair. Of course Pacific Grove decided to rain that day – and rain it did – pretty much continuously. But it was light showers, not the […]

Shane + Linda (Wedding)

I briefly met Shane and Linda last year at the local Starbucks for our “do we want to work together” meet-up. I thought they were great, and apparently the feeling was mutual. Fast forward a year and here we are – October 16, 2010. The weather threatened to rain – which would have put a […]

Nici + Dalas (Wedding)

Nici (“Nikee”) and Dalas (“Dallas”) are one of those couples that are just meant to be together. They’re laid back, funky and ironic in a cool way. We met at beautiful Highlands Park up in Ben Lomond; for those of you not familiar with the area, this is in the Santa Cruz Mountains past Scotts […]

Amber + Michael (Wedding)

I didn’t meet Amber and Michael until three days before their wedding – they are local to Washington State, but were planning their wedding to take place in Santa Cruz, where I live. (WARNING: gratuitous self-promotion plug ahead) Being the young and tech-savvy couple they are, they searched Yelp for “Wedding Photographers” and with twenty-one […]
