I took Lauren's Cal Poly graduation photos years ago, and since then we've bumped into her and Dylan at a whole bunch of weddings. It was finally their turn, on what turned out to be a gorgeous sunny day in Edna Valley!

In all our years of wedding photography, we’ve never seen a couple as present with each other and everyone they love on their wedding day. This is what happens when you fully live in the moment on the day you get married—

We ventured up to Sparks Lake, outside of Bend, Oregon, for Camille & Gordon’s engagement photos surrounded by the snowcapped Cascade Mountains.

Zach and Bryanna spend all of their free time camping and hiking, and they wanted to honor that in their elopement. This was also the first time many of their family and friends got to see Arizona, so they chose Sedona as the setting for this intimate day!

Sarah & Harrison were friends for years at Cal Poly before falling in love. Their spring wedding marked the next chapter in their story together, and couldn’t be bothered by an early May rainstorm!

High school sweethearts Samantha and Tom have spent much of their relationship hiking in geologically unique places, and it was only fitting they take their engagement photos in a similar setting!

Colorful desert sunsets give way to lengthy blue hours here in Phoenix, and it makes for the most beautiful time of day to elope!

Maria and Cam wanted a beautiful, local setting to exchange their vows and be married! This little bend in the Salt River just outside Phoenix proved perfect!

Morgan and Juan chose to elope, just the two of them, in their hometown of Tucson at the beautiful Kingan Gardens!

Eddie had to pull off the ultimate surprise to propose to Josalynn, so he chose to tie it into their weekly routine, popping the question after mass at St. Mary’s on what seemed like just a regular Sunday!

Brenna and Wouter didn’t want a big fancy wedding, and instead opted for a weekend spent at an Airbnb in the hills of San Luis Obispo with their closest family and friends.

“When I first met you, Daniel, I couldn’t help but think that the girl who was going to marry you would be the luckiest girl in the whole world. Never did I imagine that girl would be me.” - Lisa

That’s right, a pool party wedding. At the top of Mik & Jonny’s list for their wedding day was jumping in a pool with all their friends after. And so, Higuera Ranch became the ideal setting— a beautiful venue, and a heated pool with a waterslide to cap off the best day of their lives.

I have been waiting for so long for the day Lauren and Dylan got engaged, and it truly was an honor to fly out to San Diego to photograph this special moment in their life together!

Sara and Max met and were engaged in Phoenix, Arizona, so it was only natural they chose the desert landscape of Dreamy Draw Recreation Area for their engagement photos!
