The Guerreos on film & digital 🎞️

I’m not joking when I say I have a million weddings I haven’t posted 🥲 If I’m being honest I have a complicated relationship with this app. I’ve shot some of my best work in the past two years and I think that’s because I’ve been focusing on capturing memories and not content. I’ve started incorporating film into my packages and I’ve grown as a photographer because of it. The pressure to stay up with trends was really getting to my head, and I can honestly focusing on the work itself offline has grown my love for what I do. These are memories for real people. When I stopped worrying about what I would post, I could put that energy back into to my clients, which is a better use of it in my opinion. So I can’t promise I’ll ever get back into posting regularly, but I can promise I’ll never stop telling love stories 🤍✨

One thing I’ll never take for granted living on the east coast now is having a real fall 🍁 growing up in the mountains of CA the seasons went from summer to winter pretty aggressively. Then when I lived in Japan, the island we lived on was tropical year round. Seeing the leaves change and everything go golden is something I look forward to each year 🍁 and I love shooting weddings and engagement sessions during this time 🤍✨

Finally catching up from all the amazing weddings & elopement’s from this fall 🙏🏻😅 I feel like I’ve been shooting nonstop lately. So thankful to have the most wonderful and patient couples during this busy season and can’t wait to finally share what I’ve been working on!

Been super busy lately which means naturally, I disappear from the internet 👻

The next few months are shaping up to be insane, so I’m working really hard to get caught up before then, which means you may see less of my face, but there’s lots at work behind the scenes ✨🤍

The leaves have begun to turn on the tree in my front yard and it’s been very gloomy this week. And while it’s still v hot, it feels like fall is on the horizon 🍁🍂 I’ve got a packed schedule this fall and I’m super excited for all the autumnal weddings & sessions 🖤

I just got a new camera this past week and it has me reflecting on how far I’ve come over the years ✨

I had just graduated college, gotten married, and left my home state of California for the first time in my life to move across the country. I wasn’t doing theater anymore, which was a huge part of my identity, and my husband was at a stressful point in his career which meant he was almost never home. I was lost, alone, and unsure of what the future looked like for me.

We spent the summer in Virginia Beach, living in a hotel while my husband completed a training before we were to move to Japan. Which meant I had nothing to do all day since I left my job in CA before the move.

I knew that everything about my life was changing and I found myself craving an artistic outlet. Since I wasn’t doing theatre, I fell back on my first love of film 🖤✨

Other than making movies in my backyard, I didn’t know much about cameras, or still photography, but I saved up $500 from odd jobs to buy a little Canon Rebel and taught myself the basics by taking self portraits and practicing on my friends. That Canon Rebel went on to be the camera I started my business on.

I think back on that summer when my only job was to explore, experiment, and immerse myself in a new medium, and I think that version of myself would be proud of where I am today.

I’ve grown a lot since then, both in my quality of work and philosophy on photography, but also within myself; Because that was the summer that I learned that it doesn’t matter if it’s the stage, page, or hanging in someone’s home… I was meant to tell stories. And I’m so lucky I’ve had the opportunity to tell so many beautiful love stories over the years.

I’ve always been drawn to love stories and by the end of the summer I knew that was what I wanted to do. I treasure every story couples trust me to capture and am so thankful that this is my job 🤍

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in my creative journey along the way ✨🤍🖤 the best is yet to come.

Photos you didn’t know you wanted, but you definitely do: The signing of your marriage license 🖋️

Your day is going to be filled with moments big and small, and while signing a document may seem like the small, its a great time to slip away from the bustle of guests and have a moment alone with the people closest to you. Have a close friend or family member sign as witness and enjoy a few moments away from it all as you make it official.

Even the small moments can be special 🤍✨

Private Vows 📖

One of the things couples regularly express to me is nervousness about speaking in front of all their friends and family. About wanting to express things to their new spouse meant only for them. Private vows can be a great option for couples who want some extra alone time on their day, are uncomfortable, or want to have a deeper experience when sharing their vows to one another.

If you are having a first look, it often can help your timeline run smoother, keep your ceremony shorter, and help build more one on one time into your day as well.

The biggest thing to keep in mind when planning your wedding day is what will make you the most comfortable, fulfilled, and connected with your partner. Finding ways and moments to ground yourself with each other in the reason you are celebrating can help you slow down and savor every moment 🤍✨

Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Turn thirty, 1990
Bang! You're dead
What can you do?
I had planned this Tick, Tick, Boom inspired self portrait shoot for my 30th birthday and the day I planned to shoot it everything fell apart 🙃 the location I had in mind was a construction zone, my wardrobe wasn’t working, it was hot as hell.

So instead I threw on some jeans, bought some roses and took these in front of a Whole Foods ✌🏻✨🤍

Hold me close and don’t let go ✨🤍

Deep in my editing cave today and gearing up for all the fall weddings and elopements on the horizon 🤍✨

First dances and marrying the girl of your dreams 🤍✨

I loooove dancing photos. They are one of my favorite parts of the day to capture. You just said I do, and you finally get a moment to slow down, hold each other, and connect over a special song. Don’t be surprised if you see me grinning like a big goon on your day while I document your dance, they never fail to make my heart full and bring a smile to my face 🤍✨

✨Dress shots ✨

Let’s talk about dress shots, folks either love em, or hate them. So much so that I hear them affectionately called, “floating dress shots” “Ghost dress” and “the haunted bride” 👻

I personally love a good dress shot, and here’s why I always make it a point to take a few on your wedding day:

1.) I’d rather my couples have extra lephotos that they don’t end up to displaying than be missing photos they wanted. I take a lot of time to get to know my couples, but I can’t know everything. So even if it’s something that I, as their photographer, might not be excited about, I’d rather over deliver images than under.

2.) I also think of the dress the same way I do with other details like vow books, shoes, or jewelry. I think there is a story in the items people chose to get married in, and there is always a fun artistic challenge to capture that story without the wearers being in the shot.

3.) And in the end… I’m a little spooky anyway 👻

What are your thoughts on the ghost dress shots? Love em, or hate them?

07/24/2023

Still obsessing over this beautiful day with these beautiful souls ✨🤍

Just a reminder to those of you planning to elope that you can still have traditional and ceremonial events while still keeping true to who you are and what you want out of your day. I tell couples all the time that the best part of choosing to elope is that you now get to make the rules. Your day should be filled with things that bring you joy and that will mark a special chapter in your love story, so you get to write what those things are 🤍✨so keep what’s important and meaningful for you and don’t worry about the rest 😉

I turned 30 today, sounded by good food, good company, and good vibes ✨

It’s a rainy day here in Baltimore 🌧️💧This weather always makes me want to curl up in my home and be cozy with loved ones.

I’ve always been a bit of a homebody and find I’m my most creative when I have a safe place to be myself with my family and friends. It got me thinking about this special session I did with thse two before all of us moved back from Japan. They wanted to not only remember their home… but the way it made them feel. In-home sessions can sometimes be slept on, but they can be so special and relaxing to document the true intimacy that thrives in the home you share with your person. Because I truly believe that the secret to making any house a home, is making memories within it 🤍✨🌿

07/04/2023

Some of my more special sessions are with people who are close to me. It makes photographing their love all the more meaningful because I know their love story, what makes them laugh, how they interact together. Photographing my friends seriously fills my soul. Which is why I take so much time and effort getting to know my couples before their wedding day. Calls, meeting up, engagement sessions, are all part of that process so by the time your big day rolls around, I know your love story intimately and can capture it like I would my own friends and family.

This is one of my last couples sessions I shot when I lived in Japan with some very dear friends of mine. I treasure every couple that trusts me to tell their story.

06/03/2023

Happy wedding day to these two 🤍✨

I met these two beautiful souls when I lived in Japan and their love and energy is just so infectious. I’m still obsessed with their engagement photos and am honored to be able to capture their day today ✨🤍

Best piece of wedding advice I can give? ✨

I recently did a Q & A on my feed and got this question and it’s so important I had to share it here too:

Find/make time for moments in the day to just be alone with your partner. Your wedding day goes by so fast, and there’s so much happening, it may end up feeling like a blur. But taking 5-10 minutes to be alone together, to talk, hold each other, process everything together, helps you slow down, and make memories just for the two of you.

My best recommendations for when to implement alone time into your timeline:
-first looks
-private vows
-immediately after your ceremony
-last dance after everyone leaves

05/30/2023

I want to remember every moment with you ✨📸

Stay classy, San Diego ✨

While I’m based in Maryland now, I’ll always be a California girl at heart, and love every chance I get to go back and capture moments like these.

If you’re getting married in CA, I offer discounted travel rates to the state. So say the word and I’m there ✈️
