Max and Aly are both San Clemente natives but actually met on the other side of the nation! They were both working in Washington DC when their paths crossed and their love story began.
Aly loves all things vintage. She is one of the owners of Sundrop Vintage and I’m sure their wedding at Swallow Creek Ranch in Cayucos, CA will be decked out with all their unique treasures.
Max loves rebuilding vintage Porsches and I have to give him big thanks for recently helping me with my 1972 VW Bug. He just spent 6 hours putting in a new exhaust for me!
We had a fun engagement session all around San Clemente, which was the perfect setting for these locals. We started at Calafia State beach with the all the pretty flowers in bloom and had to get photos with their cutest dog, Franklin, because he’s family. Then we were off to a local surf shop to take advantage of a big mural, and had a sunset finale at San Onofre State Beach.
Max secretly had me photograph him proposing to Aly a few months prior. You can view those photos here: Max + Aly // San Clemente Proposal
Max and Aly, I can’t tell you enough how happy I am for you two. You two are some of the sweetest people I’ve met and can’t wait to photograph your wedding!
The soft clouds added a dreamy look to Prachee + Brian’s beach wedding. So happy for them! ...
Prachee + Brian had an intimate wedding ceremony on the beach in San Clemente. Everyone held their breath as the tide came closer and closer as they said their vows but the couple embraced it and put their feet in the water after! 💕 ...

I just hit 30 weeks pregnant and as my belly gets bigger, I get more out of breath, battle being hangry too often, and take more naps, I don’t always feel my best. @camrynclairphoto did some maternity photos for me and made me feel so beautiful and celebrated. It was such a gift and I’m so thankful for these photos to cherish this beautiful, awkward, wonderful new experience.
Sweet baby sunshine, we can’t wait to meet you and show you this beautiful world! ☀️💛 ...

What’re your nicknames for each other? David calls Brooke his little Honey Bee! She wears the name proudly with a little bee in her hair. 😍
I love it when my husband calls me Jan-Cakes.
