Chelsea + Jaquelyn | Sequoia
My absolute favorite thing is thinking outside the ‘typical’ wedding box. It was Arbor Day - the day before Chelsea & Jaquelyns wedding. Because of their love of trees, and the fact that they purposefully chose the day after as their wedding day - we booked it up to Sequoia to spend an intimate afternoon documenting their intimate ceremony, with just the two of them. Not only did they get a private moment together in the midst of busy wedding planning, we had a blast exploring giant sequoia trees and celebrating the essence of Arbor Day.

Matt + Nataly | Yosemite
Any session that ends with a Taft Point Sunset always gives me goosebumps.
I fell in love with this couple and their passion for each other, and it was so easy to make these images while they interacted naturally on the edge of a Yosemite cliff to celebrate their engagement.
This session doesn’t need any more words - you’ll enjoy for yourself the evident beauty of Matt & Nataly
JACQUES + LISA | Yosemite
Two months freshly engaged, Jacques, Lisa, and I hiked a little over a mile to Taft Point - one of my favorite Yosemite destinations. We sat on a ledge, watching the sun set on the hazy horizon, and sipped canned wine through altitude-induced laughter.
Moments like this are so beautiful - spending time with lovers outdoors.

Jesse + Tiffany
Jesse and Tiffany came all the way from Virginia to hold hands under the biggest trees in the world - I mean, who wouldn't, with this kinda view...
Ben + Cherice, Montana de Oro
Celebrating the engagement of these two with a session on a secluded beach at Montana de Oro State Park. This is one of those times when I get carried away and blog way too many. Oops.
Ben & Cherice, A Fierce Love.
Ben + Chelsea, Love aquatic.
I love love love when clients can get behind a vision that's slightly outside the box for some killer engagement photos....especially out of the country. And in the water.
Ben and Chelsea got aquatic in Cancun, Mexico....and it was good.
Phillip + Heather, Yosemite
I sincerely love what I do because of people like them, and places like this.
Heather & Phillip are climbers, and it didn't take much of a discussion to decide where to shoot their love story. Yosemite is the heart of climbing in California, and it's a pretty special place for all of us. We were initially going to do a tough climb and shoot their portraits on the top of the Lost Arrow Spire, but mother nature decided to close that area for climbing because of perigrine falcon nesting. Shoot. However we changed plans and I can't say that I'm bummed about the outcome.
Surprisingly we had all of Taft Point to ourselves, and we spent the evening watching the sun go down, and being silly with some pretty extreme outfit changes.
Everyone give a high five and a congrats to these guys who are getting married in July! I'm sure it won't surprise you to know they're having a lakeside mountain multi day camping wedding/party. Yeah. This is how you do it when you're as cool as the soon-to-be Greens.
Dennis + Emily, Malibu
It was an unusually hot day in Malibu, but that's no big deal when two people love each other this much. Dennis & Emily, you guys win the cutest human beings award! Can't wait for your december wedding at Studio 1342. Let's get ready to party!
Jacki + Steve, Visalia
Jacki is a photographer, Steve is a musician. They're both excellent pals. Here's a peek at a few moments with the Potorkes, at their stylish country bungalow.
