Getting married surrounded by redwoods is a certain type of magical I can never tire of! The Sequoia was absolutely captivating for Kellie and Peter’s wedding earlier this summer. Thank you to Event Coordination and Planning Do Right Flower Farm for the coordination and extra beauty!

Getting married in Santa Cruz and you want a fun date AND an engagement session?! Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is such an awesome choice!

Vivian and Grant had one of the most loving communities and friend/family inclusive ceremonies I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of documenting. It was truly beautiful watching so many friends participate in reminding them what’s important about a deep and committed, loving relationship… vulnerability, fun, respect to name a few. Thank you for letting Us along for the ride and learning from your love story. Can’t wait to watch the next chapters unfold. We also had a dream team of vendors!

When I met Stef and Grace over zoom were clicked instantly as we sat all in our casual pretty much pj’s, hair in buns and glasses in place neatly ready for bed. They told me about how Grace’s family had been coming to Aptos for years and it held such a special place they wanted to get married there. I had no idea the day they finally would and we met in person two super models would should up! Stef laughed at me when I said this and explained she never really had even worn make up before!!! Spending the day with these two amazing women and their equally loving, smart and hilarious families was such an honor. Congratulations Grace Cotter and Stef as 90 year old Grandma TT said as she concluded marring you “ yay Gay marriage!!!” 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈✨ Gay marriage || all love welcome here || Santa Cruz wedding photographer || aptos beach || beach wedding || le***an wedding inspo

These two wanted a little less stress on their wedding day, and some more time for portraits with their beautiful attire. We planned out a few special hours a few weeks before their wedding, zero stress, zero rush and have these beautiful memories to show for it. Thanks Bryanna Denti and Ani Gowd for trusting me to not get you too dirty before your wedding day! Can’t wait to celebrate your love!

Rachel and Jack chose to do their engagement session at , and honestly, I don’t think I could’ve dreamed up a more perfect spot for them if I tried.

They drank w**e, wandered through books, and spent the evening pretending I wasn’t third-wheeling their date night with also shooting BTS. 😂

I love sessions like this because there’s no pressure to perform or create some big moment. You just get to exist together in a space you genuinely love, and somehow those always end up being my favorite photos.

Also, if every future engagement session could include a bookstore and a bottle of rosé, I certainly wouldn’t complain. 📚🍷❤️ Santa Cruz Photographer || California Engagement Photographer || Bookstore Engagement || Engagement Session Inspo ||Couples Photography || Editorial Engagement ||Santa Cruz Engagement || Bad Anima lBooks
