Vic and I basically come from opposite sides of the world; I’m from Southern California and Vic is kind of from everywhere (Guam, Thailand, Singapore, Boston, you name it….), so we think it was probably fate when we happened to meet by chance about 3 years ago when I was living in Boston finishing up graduate school and Vic was living in San Francisco working in tech. Traveling started out of necessity for us trying to maintain a long distance relationship from opposite coasts of the country. Every month we would look up cheap flights in random cities and decide to meet up in places like Portland, Dallas, and Austin to keep things interesting. We crave adventure and spontaneity, so traveling naturally became a vital part of our relationship and took us to places like Thailand, Mexico, Indonesia, Laos and the Philippines. On April second of last year, Vic basically tricked me into marrying him when he proposed on the beach in Tulum! He made me think I lost one of my favorite rings (an older ring he got me at the beginning of our relationship)…after I was digging in the sand for a few minutes and on the verge of tears, Vic pretended like he “found” said ring and continued by putting a diamond ring on my finger. Being that it was shortly after April Fools, I seriously thought it was some kind of joke and said no (about 3 times). To this day we are not even sure if I said yes in that moment, but we really like each other so decided to stay engaged! HA. We are beyond excited to bring together our friends and family from all over the world in order to celebrate our marriage in the awesome little town of Whittier, California. It will be a Thai-Armenian celebration for the books!

This wedding was a long awaited day for me.
I met Helen last year in Seattle at my optometrist`s office (far away, I know...) who is the receptionist there. She was the sweetest, most compassionate and fun-loving person to navigate a confusing new part of my journey as someone who now wears glasses permanently. In any case, she and I have gotten to know each other through the process of glasses+weddings (such a funny combo!). I have watched her journey and gotten to know so much about the depth of how she cares for people, and its so so beautiful.
She`s one of the youngest brides I have ever worked with, and it has shown me SO MUCH about my next generation of brides and how I CANNOT WAIT for those weddings coming soon. The energy coming into the next era of weddings is so fresh and blissful, Something we all need much more of in the world.
Helen, Youre a gem. I`m so thoroughly grateful for you and the fun stories we have created together.
Cheers to Helen and all the brides getting married in this era! WOO!
Had the absolute pleasure of taking pictures of my friends and neighbors who have been the most welcoming and lovely people to live near.
The fact that my little family gets to share life with these warm and thoughtful humans is what I have always dreamed about. I`m so grateful they trusted me to capture these portraits for them at the cutest lake down the road. Its wild how beautiful this place is!
People, nature, and all the love. Its doesn`t get better.
