• Last week marked our FOURTH anniversary! Four freakin' years. (We were supposed to be celebrating this week but I'm down with the stupid flu 😭)⁠ And this set of photos still remains some of my absolute favorites. It was something like 15 minutes before sunset, and I was working on a self portrait project, but I wanted Greg to hang out with me. I didn't have a tripod, so we put it on the roof of my car.⁠ Greg was SOO grumpy at the start and did NOT want to be in photos (brides... sound like anyone familiar? :P) But after spending a couple minutes dancing and jumping into his arms (or jumping AT him) he really warmed up and enjoyed the process. We didn't focus much on the picture taking. We focused on enjoying eachother, and the pictures turned out.⁠ ⁠ Aaand that's the exact approach I have since taken to posing and directing my couples. ⁠ ⁠ #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegofilmphotographer #sandiegowedding #tulumweddingphotographer #caboweddingphotographer # luxuryweddingphotographer #luxurywedding #parisweddingphotographer #parisengagementphotographer #pariswedding #malibuweddingphotographer #malibuwedding #engagementsessioninspo

  • Anybody know what's happening with the instagram hiding likes thing? I've always been able to see everyone's likes- so they've never been hidden for me.⁠ I'm SOOO in favor of hiding likes. There's boundless pressure to get likes as a business owner- it somehow translates to success (even though I know it really doesn't mean anything)⁠ ⁠ I get a large amount of inquiries and new clients from instagram, even when I'm not posting regularly! But I always end up thinking... well if I post more, if I get more likes, THEN I'll get more inquiries! Which... isn't true. So just, hide the likes so that I can stop worrying what other people's counts are, and what people will think of me if I don't have enough likes.... (EVEN THOUGH I DONT CARE!!) :P⁠ ⁠ #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotography #sdwedadventures #malibuweddingphotographer #dospueblosorchidfarm #dospueblos #dospuebloswedding #sandiegofilmphotographer #contax645 #outdoorwedding #santabarbaraweddingphotographer #goletaweddingphotographer #socalweddingphotographer #napaweddingphotographer #frenchweddingphotographer #parisweddingphotographer

  • Ever wonder why in the heck you'd need detail photos? (I don't need pictures of my shoes!) Well, every single one of these items was chosen and thoughtfully curated (shoutout to my homies MaiAda and Nick!) I mean, you spent money on all of 'em- why not get pictures!⁠ ⁠ That's why detail photos can be important. We can tell your story in different ways- one of those ways- are in the items represented in the wedding! All of the bride + groom detail items are together in this one because these two were very intentional that their day was just a continuation of their story, not starting a new one.⁠ Both of their promises are in that vow book. They hand drew and created their wedding programs. Flowers were important to them and were a big part of their wedding decor (hello narwhals) and all three rings. ⁠ ⁠ It's not just a pretty photo well styled. It tells a story of all the hard work and effort going into making their wedding (and marriage) work. ⁠ ⁠ And I got to photograph it :P⁠ ⁠ #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoweddings #sandiegoweddingphotography #weddingdetails #weddingflatlay #tropicalwedding #mauiweddingphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotographer #tropicalweddinginspo #tropicalweddingphotography #weddinginspo #greenwedding #lajollaweddingphotographer #lajollawedding #greenweddingshoes #

  • Goooooood morning Instagram! I'm posting this from a scheduling system because I'm probably asleep at this very moment! #nightowlproblems⁠ Question- does it bug you/ do you think it unprofessional to get emails from vendors at night? Often I'm up at like 1am doing emails. I always wonder if my couples are annoyed by it, or if they'd rather I just schedule those for the morning too!⁠ ⁠ planning/design: @amorology⁠ florals: @sirenfloralco⁠ gown: @thedresstheory⁠ venue: @maliburockyoaks⁠ host: @trynhphoto & @lucymunozphotography⁠ hair and makeup: @danielleryanbeauty⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #maliburockyoaks #rockyoaksmalibu #malibuwedding #malibuweddingphotographer #tuscanywedding #tuscanyweddingvenues #tuscanyweddingphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #contax645 #tulumweddingphotographer #caboweddingphotographer

  • Worried about looking awkward or shy during portraits? Almost EVERYONE says they're nervous in front of the camera!
