I landed in San Diego the day before the wedding and went to the baggage carousel and my bag never showed. I came in too late at night to buy clothes and had to drive up to Corona del Mar too early for anything to be open so I had to head to the wedding with the random clothes I had left at my parents home in San Diego. While the clothes I wear to a wedding is usually the last thing I care about, the traveling had made me a little more frazzled than usual.
But as soon as I entered Kristin's parents home for the getting ready photographs, all the stress and insecurities subsided because I was surrounded by some of the sweetest people I had met (and known, its my 4th wedding between the family/friend groups), so all I had to focus on was where to find the love. So a big thanks to Luis Godinez for being my right hand man for the day, Lauren from Christie Rose Events for making everything run so beautifully and Pottery Barn for decking out the designs.
You might want to also check out the Style Me Pretty feature of the wedding, so you can see all the pretty details there.
lindsey & brett / a perfect union
Simple. Classic. Understated. These are the perfect words to describe Lindsey and Brett's wedding at 501 Union in Brooklyn. As soon as I walked into the venue the ideas began brewing and upon seeing Lindsey in her dress and Brett in his suit, I knew. I knew that this wedding was going to be amazing. The love that exuded between these two and their friends and family was simply infectious. A big thanks to Bobby for assisting me as well as Jove Meyer Events for the coordination.

industrial inspiration
Brenda and I had an idea, an idea for a shoot to bring back the old school esthetic while melding it with the modern. Our ideas came to fruition with an amazing team of wedding vendors in San Diego. I'll focus mostly on the portraits in this post, as we have a great feature from Every Last Detail which showcases the details.

frannie & wesley / up in downtown
Los Angeles, we have a special thing going on. I used to not like you too much, but ever since I've been hanging out with you and photographing special people with you, you've grown on me. Especially Frannie and Wesley, their wedding was full of fun and laughter that I can't help but smile.
