VALLENTYNE WEDDINGS

I am so extremely excited for the new Exquisite Weddings Magazine on the newsstands! Not long ago, their talented and sweet creative director Alyssa, contacted me to see if I would be interested in shooting the gown feature. I was so honored and flattered that they asked me, and of course this is one of my favorite types of shoots to do! The location was set at The Condor’s Nest Ranch, which is also a lovely venue for a wedding. I had so much fun working with models and the creative team, and I am so happy with the way everything turned out! The magazines are available now so pick yours up today! Here is one of the lovely covers, of three to come…

This is quite possibly one of the biggest blog posts I’ve done in a while… Betsy and Jeremy were married in New Jersey recently and I had the honor and privilege of flying out to document their big day! Betsy actually booked me ages ago! I feel like by the time we actually met we had become good friends and it was so much fun to shoot her wedding. Every last detail was perfect. This wedding, the scenery, the people, and everything was really elegant but casual and I felt like it was the perfect fit for my photography. When I first started narrowing down images for this wedding, I had 90. It was really a struggle to even get it down to this many but here are a few of my favorites… enjoy!

I love Casa Romantica and also love this couple! Sasha and Dan were so sweet and Shannon did an amazing job photographing their wedding! I just love our associates… super talented and great to work with, here are a few of my favorite images:)

Patricia and Korboi were amazing to work with at the Hotel del Coronado and the whole event was absolutely gorgeous thanks to Events by Design! It was so hard to narrow photos for the blog but here are a few I loved!

Kelsey and Scott’s wedding at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was elegant, beautiful, relaxed, and so much fun to photograph. Kelsey was gorgeous and the color palette of soft purples combined with the natural beauty of the Inn was perfect.
