Pro tip for your wedding day: build in a little time just for the two of you.
No cameras, no expectations—just a quiet moment to breathe it all in.

Sarah and David did exactly that. They slipped away from the bustle, stood hand in hand overlooking their ceremony site, and let the day sink in. The view, the calm, the love—it was everything.

Because sometimes the best part of your wedding isn’t the big celebration, it’s the quiet space in between where you realize... this is your forever.

Missing evenings like this… Paige, the ocean breeze, and that golden sunset glow. There’s something about those warm, fleeting moments that stay with you long after the sun has set.

There’s something about the mountains at golden hour that makes every bridal moment feel epic. Sam and Dino brought the perfect mix of romance and connection to this mountain-side session—proof that bridal portraits don’t have to be just about the dress, but about the story, the connection, and the moments in between.

Golden hour has a way of making everything feel a little more magical, and this evening with Steph and Stefan was no exception.

Leaving their boys at home, they spent the evening soaking in the meadow, laughing, connecting, and fully embracing just their relationship.

Moments like these—soft light, genuine smiles, and the quiet joy of being together—are exactly why I love what I do. It’s all about capturing the sparks that make your love story uniquely yours.
