You too? We should grab coffee!
I'm inspired by all things French fashion and old world everything—books, architecture, music. Oh, and I love a good romance.
A couple was having two wedding ceremonies–a courthouse wedding with their families and an intimate destination wedding. They hired me as their wedding photographer in Los Angeles and hired a "destination wedding photographer" for the other. The bride and I hit it off right away and became instant friends. Her wedding photography reflected the ease and comfort in our relationship. Their destination wedding photos, however, fell short. The bride was not in love with the photographer and was disappointed in her photos. Hindsight, she wishes that she had hired me for both her courthouse wedding and her destination wedding.
TRUE STORY...
MORAL OF THE STORY...
Hire the wedding photographer who:
After the wedding is over, all you have to remember your day is your photos. Anyone can snap a photo, but not every photo will allow you to relive your dreams.
1. You love their work.
2. You would choose to be friends with in real life.

Shannon and Logan’s boho inspired Spanish Hills Country Club wedding was ethereal perfection. Blush pink, terracotta and ivory flowers mixed with pampas grass and mercury glass made the perfect combination for the decor.
I met Gavi and Leeor at the Griffith Observatory a few minutes before sunrise. The Observatory is, hands down, one of my favorite Los Angeles engagement shoot loactions. Sunrise may seem early, but I PROMISE, it is 1000% worth it! You won't be disappointed! Grab a latte, and meet me there!

As a premier wedding photographer in Malibu, it's my job (and my joy) to see things that others don't–the look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time, that last deep breath a bride takes before she walks down the aisle, the tear that runs down a father's cheek as he gives his daughter away. These are the moments I live for on a wedding day. These are the moments that, if they're not captured, you won't even realize they happened, but these are the moments that make you feel. When you look back at your wedding album in 20 years, I want you to remember the love and excitement on his face, your grandmother's ring that was tied to your bouquet, the getaway dress and glitter shoes that you wore as you ran under the sparklers to your car...
If these are the things you want to remember, if this is what you want to feel when you look back at your photos, head to my Wedding Photography Experience page to find out how we'll make your dream wedding a reality!
