Last month we had the pleasure of going out to Peterborough, Ontario ( thats Canada eh!) to capture the lovely picnic themed wedding of Carleigh + Rylan. It was a very special day filled with so much love and joy. It was so great being able to be there and share in the with them as it was also a time to reunite with Mary Austin + Chance Faulker who I hadn't seens since I photographed their Lake Lure, North Carolina wedding 2 years ago. I was really excited to see them and get to do a maternity shoot for them as they were just about to welcome their first son Titus! I am so blessed to have this profession and get to share in the lives of these amazing people and be able to connect again on future shoots. Chance is one of my very dear best friends (who also is a wedding photographer) and was Rylan's best man and him being in the wedding made it feel like we were all one big family. Thank you so much Peterborough for welcoming us in and showing us your beautiful people and city! Congrats Carleigh + Rylan!!!
Salk Institute || La Jolla, Ca || Personal
I fell in love with the Salk Institute last week. My dream would be to take a bride and groom here on their wedding day for formal photos.
Julianne + Ralph || Old Town Temecula + Monte De Oro Winery Engagement Shoot
I mentioned before this is going to be the year of weddings for me, not only do I have some awesome weddings coming up to shoot, but both of my cousins are getting married and I have the privilege of being Maid of Honor to both! A few weeks ago I got to wander around Old Town Temecula and take my cousin Julianne and her finance Ralph's engagement photos. We also stopped off at Monte De Oro Winery where they will be having their wedding in November. It was a lot of fun shooting with Julianne again, she was my muse in college, haha we lived together and she was down to model for whatever harebrained I came up with. We had so much fun doing random photoshoots during my Brooks days that this was just icing on the cake! I am very excited with the photos from this shoot! What a beautiful day it was! Enjoy!
Cristina + Joel || Simi Valley Engagement Session
Cristina and Joel were runners up in the free engagement shoot I did a few months back. I was so moved by their story and love for the Lord that I wanted to bless them with a shoot as well! We had such a great time out in Simi Valley, I had never been there before and had no idea how pretty it was out there. It was a beautiful afternoon spent with a beautiful couple, I am so excited to shoot their November wedding!
