Our love story began many, many years ago. Cameron and I grew up being pen-pals, and one each other’s confidant. We shared all our ups and downs through all stages of our lives, always being a safe place full of comfort for one another.
Both of our lives were on very different paths for a very long time. The day our paths finally met up and we began walking hand-in-hand, we knew we found our place in the world.
We started a life together in Southern California and after two years, we welcomed a baby boy into the world. Ezra William has been the greatest gift and has changed us for the better in every way. He has taught us a new kind of love that is all encompassing. He has taught us patience, kindness, and warmth. He is one of the most important lights in our lives, and we feel lucky to be his. Watching him grow has been the most loving experience of our lives.
A year and a half after having Ezra, we were married at the Santa Barbara courthouse. Our wedding day was a celebration of what we already knew in our hearts, and we were beyond lucky to be able to share it with our close friends and family. The day was perfect in every way. There were no nerves, only excitement in joining our families together and celebrate the love and life we have built together. It will be a day we will always remember.
As our lives continue on, our love will only grow, and we look forward to the many years we get to spend together as a family.

I`m so excited to be at Descanso Gardens next week for a gorgeous spring wedding. Cant lie, I love Descanso in the spring. I really hope its showing off like it was in these pictures. Fingers crossed for all the blooms and a beautiful day for the lovely couple we get to capture.
Gosh its been a while since I have gotten to put together a proper Flaylay. Coming from a wedding photographer, seems that a lot of couples are recently opting out of these precious little setups and allotting time towards other things like mingling at cocktail hour and late night photos. It makes so much sense to me that (if they were pitted against the choice) anyone would choose to spend time on their precious day with people that traversed from out of town to celebrate with them. But selfishly, I wish they might add time or sneak in some way to include flatlays like these. In any case, I love how my clients choose to spend their time and love their people, their wedding day, and the moments that fly by with haste. THOUGH, I would never want to convince someone to give up any of those warm memories for a more decorative moment. BUT... if we can add it in, then I will absolutely be all over styling these shots faster than you can say please.
I need this wedding to take up more space on my grid, because it was just phenomenal. Cape Horn Estate SCREAMED of natural beauty and incredible landscaping with the mountain view of the Columbia Gorge and the brilliant florals that surrounded the entire property. It is unmatched with its unique and jaw-dropping scenes.
But far past the beauty of the estate, MacKenzie and Dan just shined with their love for each other and their family&friends all day long. Their focus was on the beauty if the environment and their love for adventure.
Minus the sunburn, I would do it ALL over again just to rewatch their unhindered joy shine everywhere.
I only deliver about 5% OR LESS in black and white. But when they make their appearance, they are chosen with intention and lots of love. These little gems from Morgan & Cole`s dreamy engagement session spoke to me in an extra special way that felt even better completely colorless.
Something about black and white just makes the energy change and my eyes to see a completely different part of an image compared to full color. I really love it.
Do you set up scenes for your Holiday Mini-Sessions? Thanks,
Hi Melanie, sometimes we do. did you have something in mind?
