Nicky and Gideon were lucky enough to have 2 weddings. One was a few weeks earlier in Ohio and this one in Huntington Beach. They wanted to make sure they could have all their friends and family from both states able to enjoy their day. This wedding had so many rad details. Nicky’s dress was made by Mikelle Hickman-Romine . It included butterfly imagery as well as wings. Nicky and Gideon wanted their day to be completely unique and they definitely pulled it off. Nicky chose to go barefoot for the day ,but also brought her ballet slippers if she needed shoes.

So after many hours of hard work our studio is finally finished. I love the new space and feel blessed to have such a rad space and office mate to work with. We experimented with so many ideas and we are stoked to have it finished. I love all the industrial elements of exposed wood and modern clean feel of the space. Here are some photos. looking at the before and after is crazy to think how for it has come.

Peter and Marissa got married at Brookside Equestrian which is one of my favorite venues. It is such a natural and inspiring place to shoot in. These two are so true to themselves and it was awesome to be a part of their story. It was a pleasure to work with Lumiani Events who put together such a seamless day.

Things have been super busy here lately. Along with my normal weddings this summer I have been busy moving my business out of my home and into a great new space in Costa Mesa. I have a rad office mate and will be stoked to have it all finished up. I’ll post some pics when it is all finished. I just got back from New Mexico this month to shoot Josh and Megan and their amazing family. Here is a sneak peak of the two.

Kelly and eric-married, San diego

I’ve been looking forward to Kelly and Eric’s wedding all year. I knew it was going to be awesome because Jesi Haack was on board to style along with Carissa from JL Designs doing her awesome florals. Bow ties were the theme for this one, with bow tie drink stir sticks and name tags for the reception. The best part was the name tags were wearable for the guests. Bow ties for boys and hair pieces for the ladies.It was pretty awesome seeing all the guest wearing these things. Kelly’s mom made pillows for every seat at the wedding party table. Instead of cake cutting Kelly and Eric had frozen yogurt from their favorite Fiji Yogurt . It was a party.

Allison and Scott live in the UK and came across the pond to celebrate their wedding with friends and family in Huntington Beach. I have had a few overseas clients this year and their awesome accents make me really jealous! The Red Horse Barn is always a favorite venue for such amazing bright and clean colors.

Having great coordinators, stylist, videographers, florist, and DJ’s really makes the world of difference when it comes to the success of your wedding day.

First off congrats to Doug who just passed the bar exam!! woot! I had such an awesome day with these two. While shooting their ceremony I felt like I was watching friends I had known for years exchange vows. From the first time you meet Doug and Rachel you feel like you have known them forever. It was an honor to create art out of their lives.
