Castle portrait session following a Disneyland Hotel wedding

The park is quiet, the lights are still glowing, and seeing the park before guests come to enjoy their day is something I just can’t describe.

Destination Wedding in Monterey California

I loved stepping outside of Orange County for Sydney and Gio’s Monterey Beach Station wedding. It was truly something special. Sydney and her sister are the creative brains behind the popular Instagram account Magic by Muses, and I loved being able to venture up the coast to photograph a couple who loves Disney as much […]

Hawaiian Vow Renewal Ceremony Disney Grand Californian Hotel

Chris and Dan’s Hawaiian-themed vow renewal at Disney’s Grand Californian was a celebration we will never forget. It was meaningful to us on a personal level because Chris had recently gone through cancer treatment. I’m in remission and Andrew is undergoing cancer treatment, so we teased that they had the “C” team. The day was […]
