From the bride, Nicole: “Steve and I met online, I was very hesitant in trying out the online dating world but with the help of two friends I put myself out there. I was lucky enough that Steve is the one and only person I had to talk to to find the one!
Steve proposed on a weekend trip. With Covid and quarantine hitting in March 2020, Steve’s plans were a little thrown off. He waited until July to plan a weekend getaway with another couple friends of ours. We were supposed to be meeting them down at Heisler Park because our room wasn’t quite ready yet. As we’re walking to meet our friends, Steve stopped for us to take a selfie and me being the impatient person that I am was getting irritated and just wanted our friends to take an actual, good picture when we met up with them. I started to walk away and when Steve pulled me back and I turned back towards him, he was down on one knee. I couldn’t believe that he was proposing, I was completely surprised! We are lucky enough that he had a friend there taking photos so we have some pictures and a video of the whole thing.”
Steve and Nicole, it has been such a privilege getting to know you two! It was so fun photographing your Engagement Session and your wedding day. You are both delightful to be around and have so much love you share. I wish you all the best in this new journey together!

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. 😍
