Taylor + Larisa opted for adventurous Angeles National Forest Engagement photos when I asked them where they wanted to shoot their pictures! I was stoked they chose this spot because it’s quiet, remote, and completely beautiful. Together, we explored, watched a sunset, drank some ginger beer, and laughed a whole lot. 🙂

WOW WOW WOW am I STOKED to be sharing Elena + Peter’s Newport Beach engagement photos!!!!!! I’ve known these two for a decade or more at this point, and they’ve been together for practically that long! Elena and I have seen each other through high school, college, engagements, weddings, friendship highs and lows, cross-country moves, and more. It is truly such an honor to help document a small slice of their engaged season together as they’re making yet another move to the east coast!

Mark + Ireland were SO much fun to hang out with for their Irvine engagement photos!!! I’ve known these two for a few years now since we were all in a community group together at our church. 🙂 They have a great sense of humor, impeccable fashion sense, and a deep deep love for coffee. […]

PART TWOOOO of this amazing trip is here; Sophie + Kade and I continued the adventure with these waterfall engagement photos at the Columbia River Gorge in Portland! So. So. Gorgeous. Wow. I seriously still don’t have words for how cool this experience was, just trekking through trees to find some amazing waterfalls. These two were so incredibly easy and down for adventure, so we had a great (albeit rainy) afternoon together 🙂

Rachel + Joe knew exactly what they wanted when they called me up to be their photographer, so that’s how we ended up doing their Palos Verdes engagement photos! These two remembered visiting Wayfarer’s Chapel earlier on in their relationship, so they immediately asked me if we could go back for their engagement photos. Obviously my answer was yes, it’s hard to say no to a place this gorgeous 😉
