Read MoreTim and Val's story began in middle school - the kind of on-again-off-again love where they always ended up coming back to each other. They were planning their big fairytale wedding for later this year when they found out they were pregnant. They moved their wedding up so they'd be married before the baby came, planned a wedding in less than 2 months, and it was the most special and intimate day I've ever been apart of. A wedding on the beach with their closest family and friends followed by a brewery party where they did their GENDER REVEAL. The most incredible day full of celebration for their marriage and their baby girl on the way. Tim and Val - I am so excited for you and your growing family!!!!! It was such an honor to photograph such a special day. STILL CRYING OVER THESE!

Read MoreAllison and Taylor's wedding was perfect: an intimate gathering of their family who traveled from Washington and Arizona to see them get married in beautiful La Jolla on a warm, February San Diego afternoon. A cozy dinner at a beachside restaurant was their ideal wedding reception and gave family the perfect opportunity to catch up and spend time together. This was the most chill, fun and relaxing day and I was in photographer heaven.

Read MoreThank you so much to The Ruin Venue for letting us use their gorgeous space for this surprise proposal! This was one of my favorite days ever and my favorite thing I've ever gotten to photograph. Months of planning went into this surprise and Aaron wins all the fiancé points in the world for planning such a wonderful day for Tiffany. Friends came out to the venue to meet us with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, there was a party with their closest family and friends waiting for them when we got back from Joshua Tree... this was truly one of the most special days I've ever been apart of. I am so overwhelmed with good feelings about these images, I don't even have words. So I'm not going to try. Aaron and Tiffany, I am so excited for your life together and so honored to have captured this special event for you!

Read MoreI'm not going to gush and get all emotional about how much I LOVE The Big Fake Wedding and everything they stand for and believe in, because I just did that when I photographed the Seattle event last fall. All I have to say is that I had SO MUCH FUN photographing the San Diego event and I have been freaking out so excited to share these images. This was truly an amazing team of vendors to work with and I had such a wonderful time. San Diego - you have my heart!
