Max contact me about photographing him and Aly as he proposed and I absolutely wanted to! I love photographing proposals and especially for couples as sweet as these two!
We worked out the details through text messages and Aly was completely surprised. It was both of their birthdays coming up and Aly was wearing her new birthday dress (bridal white!) as Max invited her to go walk their dog Franklin down by the San Clemente Pier.
She had NO IDEA!!
I hid in the parking lot near by with my long telephoto lens and waited like a photo ninja until they got there. Once I saw them walking by and quickly snapped pictures as everything unfolded.
After she said “Yes!” with tears in hear eyes, I popped out from behind the cars and got a few more pics. I then excused myself to “give them a few moments together” and quickly headed over to the house where all their friends and family were waiting to surprise them. They had champagne cheers and bubble guns waiting for them when they arrived. Such a beautiful celebration of love and so happy to document this day for them.

Tracy and Andrew had the sweetest, intimate wedding ceremony on the bluffs of Laguna Beach, overlooking the gorgeous coastline.
Tracy’s two daughters stood proudly by her side as bridesmaids, while Andrew’s two sons stood with him—making this beautiful day even more meaningful and special. 🥂
@ocbeachweddings brought the perfect touches for a coastal celebration, including parasols and fans for the guests, plus champagne for the bride and groom to cheers with. They made sure everything ran smoothly so Tracy and Andrew could simply soak in every moment of their beautiful day. ✨

Nicolette & Tyler had the most gorgeous wedding day on the bluffs of Dana Point, overlooking the harbor.
Their ceremony took place at the beautiful Heritage Park Alcove, followed by an intimate reception at the Chart House. As the evening unfolded, the warm, romantic golden sunset lit up the coast, creating the most magical backdrop for celebrating their love. ✨🌅
A truly beautiful Dana Point wedding filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable coastal views.

I can’t believe my sweet little Skyla Jade is already two months new and my daughter Cali will be three this week! I’m such a lucky mama to have such sweet girls.
