Happy fifth anniversary to Jordan and Mandee! We had so much fun snapping these sweet couples photos at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura, CA. What a lovely beach and sunset and an awesome couple!
Such a beautiful mid-summer session in Ventura with Jordan and Mandee for their fifth anniversary. Congratulations to this awesome couple!
 This family has so much to celebrate! A 14th wedding anniversary and two beautiful children, and the many blessings of their life together. They opted for a family photo session to commemorate!

Mission San Juan Capistrano is as iconic as wedding venues get. With the kind of old world atmosphere you usually only find in Europe, the beautiful ruins of the mission lit by golden California sunlight and Kyle and Celina's impeccable style made for timeless wedding photography.

How Nick kept this dreamy Malibu beach proposal a secret is beyond me! A casual California getaway (to visit family) turned into a weekend in a beach house, private chef, concert, etc., etc., etc.
Just in case you're confused about how this managed to be a surprise proposal when Trinity (the girlfriend) is obviously aware that I am there, here's the ruse: the private chef (Michelle) is a friend of mine. She *wink wink* needed some photography to update her website and invited me along to snap photos of this cute couple having a lovely dinner on a beachfront balcony. To keep the charade going, I took a lot of photos of food and the space, and also kept an eye on Nick to document the moment he took a knee tableside. After that, the ruse was up and we headed down to the beach for some sweet celebratory engagement photos before leaving the couple at the beach house to toast their futures together. What a beautiful scene and a smashing success! Congrats to Nick and Trinity.
Emily and Chris' Leo Carrillo Malibu Beach wedding photos were a mix of part post-COVID wedding photoshoot, part beach elopement, part family portrait session and all dreamy sunset sky goodness. This couple and their family was so much fun to celebrate and snap photos with. Emily picked a beautiful wedding dress with a high neckline (I mean, she's a triathlete, so that was DEF the right choice) and Chris wore his wedding suit and we frolicked barefoot at low tide snapping these pics on the sand and on the cliffs above.
Abby and Thomas' Malibu ranch wedding was complete with a sunset cameo appearance by Abby's beloved horse. Also a surprise visit from the Malibu fire department to wish the happy couple well!
Venue: Stonewall Ranch, Malibu, Calif. 
Delaney and Tanner are moving out of state and they decided to take some beautiful couple photos at El Matador Beach before they close this California chapter. Love this idea! And Delaney's dress is on point. (Click "Read More" to view the whole gallery.)
 These out-of-towners love to travel, so they planned a magical getaway to sunny Southern California to celebrate their engagement, and they remembered to book these special engagement photos while they were in town! Cheers to Alexa and Matt! Congrats on your engagement and your upcoming wedding. Come see me in Malibu on the honeymoon!
