Coffeehouse Love & Courthouse Marriage

On the day of their private ceremony, Rachel and Justin kickstarted the morning with coffee from Handlebar Coffee Roasters. Despite the persistent rain, they kept warm and dry inside this quaint cafe. The rest of morning was just as warm. On the short walk to the venue, their golden-doodle Clementine joined in on the fun. The courthouse was practically empty because of the wet weather, which gave us our choice of places to enjoy the solitude. Congratulations, you two - we cannot wait to celebrate with you and your families in Ojai this summer!

Handmade LA Art Gallery Wedding

From their renowned weekend brunch gatherings to their elopement in Mexico City, Christina and Jon know how to throw one hell of a party. At All(Most) Studio & Gallery, it was a fun-filled night of celebrating with lots of family and friends. The couple, along with lots of help from their families, completely transformed the blank-slate space with handmade banners, string lights, a mariachi band and a magician - all thanks to the vision of the incredibly talented and organized Christina. Congratulations Jon and Christina - we can't wait 'til the next party you throw!

San Diego Engagement // Rachael + Eric

The early-morning rain in San Diego this weekend gave way to clear skies for miles, just in time for our engagement session with Rachael and Eric. We spent the day at two locations, the first near their home in Ocean Beach (with their excitable pup Mackenzie) where we soaked up some rays and played along the shore of the Pacific. As the sun was setting, we ventured about the Trails at Torrey Pines for our second part of the session. We could not have asked for a more beautiful setting or more gracious couple. Read more about each of the shoots at the links above.
