Some love stories you just know are magic from the very beginning… and Chris & Rob have been that kind of magic since the first day I laid eyes on them! From their engagement, to their stunning wedding day, and now this beautiful extended family session at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano… I’ve had the absolute honor of watching their love story unfold chapter by chapter. And let me tell you — these two don’t just love each other, they adore each other in that effortless, fairytale kind of way that makes everyone around them feel it too.

And now… enter their sweet little leading lady, Skyler. šŸ’« Watching these two incredible men step into fatherhood with so much joy, tenderness, and pride has been the most heart-melting thing to witness. She is already so clearly the center of their universe — and honestly, the way they look at her? I DIE!! For real! 🄹

Chris, Rob, and little Miss fabulous Skyler… I adore your ENTIRE family more than words. Thank you for choosing me to document these beautiful milestones time after time, for allowing me to be a part of your family legacy, and for being the amazing humans that I am so blessed to call FOREVER FRIENDS!! This right here is the kind of story that reminds me exactly why I do what I do. ✨ I love you ALL SO MUCH!! šŸ„¹šŸ˜˜ā¤ļø

There is nothing — and I mean nothing — that fills my heart more than getting to grow alongside my couples. I shot Sydney + Jake’s wedding day (back in 2022 šŸ˜­ā¤ļøšŸ„¹), then their maternity session for sweet baby Kane… and now here we are, getting ready to welcome baby boy number TWO. Like excuse me?! Watching their love story turn into a whole beautiful legacy is the kind of magic that makes me fall in love with this job over and over again.

From vows… to baby bumps… to tiny hands wrapped around mama’s finger — I don’t take it lightly that I get a front row seat to their biggest milestones. Sydney and Jake, you two make parenthood look effortless, joyful, and freaking fun!!. I am beyond blessed to document your growing family and all the chaos, cuddles, and sweet in-between moments. Baby boy, you are already so loved… and I cannot wait to meet you. šŸ’™āœØšŸ‘¶šŸ¼

Britney + John + The Lodge at Torrey Pines ā¤ļø

Honestly... where do I even begin. These two are the kind of humans you meet once and immediately think, YASSS, the world needs more of THIS!!. Laid-back, wildly fun, deeply kind, and madly in love in that quiet, soul-level way that feels like pure kismet.

The way John looks at Brittney? I’m talking full-body chills.
The kind of look that makes your eyes well up and reminds you that true love isn’t a myth - it’s alive, thriving, and wearing a suit while staring at his person like the rest of the world disappeared. Serendipity, but make it forever.

What I loved most (and what made this day magic) is that their only agenda was each other. No obsession over timelines. No stressing the tiny details. Just a conscious choice to be present, soak it all in, and celebrate their love with the people who matter most. Cocktails in hand, laughter in the air, hearts wide open. Proof that when you let go of the ā€œshouldsā€ and lean into the moment, the day becomes unforgettable - not because it was perfect, but because it was real. And wow... did they do it RIGHT. šŸ¤˜šŸ»āœØšŸ¤˜šŸ»

You my friends are M A G I C ... and I love y’all... end of story!!

Feel It All…

This day isn’t a checklist.
It’s not a timeline,
not a Pinterest-perfect performance
where you rush from smile to smile.

It’s the way your hands shake
just a little
when you reach for each other.
The laugh you didn’t plan.
The tears you didn’t expect.

It’s champagne you forgot to sip
because you were too busy being in it.

So pause.
Breathe them in—
the music, the nerves, the heat of the moment.
Let your dress wrinkle.
Let the schedule wait.
Let the world spin without you for a second.

Because perfection is overrated,
but presence?
That’s the real luxury.

This isn’t a day to survive.
It’s a day to feel.
Wildly. Fully. Unapologetically.

And years from now,
when the flowers fade and the cake is gone,
you won’t remember what came next—
you’ll remember how it felt
to stand right here
and choose each other
with your whole heart
and zero rush.

Happy Anniversary to two of the most straight up RAD women I know… Bibi and Juli! These babes literally put on theeee wedding of all weddings!! A crazy cool, Studio 54 inspired shin dig on the rooftop of the London WEHO… with views of the city skyline for days! And although every last detail of their day was above and beyond… it was their undying love and admiration for each other that made it so beautiful!! Like ugly crying during the ceremony beautiful!!

It reminded me that love ALWAYS wins… and at the end of the day it IS possible to find that one human who you’ve learned you cannot live without!! The one person who feels like home… I’m so grateful for you babes… it was such an honor to document your real life love story!! šŸ”„šŸŖ©šŸ¤˜šŸ»ā¤ļøšŸ¤˜šŸ»šŸŖ©šŸ”„

I gotta say, I can’t tell you how beyond stoked I am to have met and become friends with you over the years!

From your WILD traveling adventures to the insane golf tournaments ( and everything in between šŸ˜‰) , you’ve shown us all how to love fiercely and live life to the fullest!

You’re not just a couple; you’re a team… and now a family with your beautiful baby girl in tow! And I’m so excited to watch your journey get even more epic!
