I had the best time second shooting with Helen of Nebula Imagery Productions! We started the day off at St. Pius Church in Redwood City for a beautiful Catholic ceremony. Then, we made our way to Palo Alto to the reception at the Garden Court Hotel. It was a beautiful day!

Working with Sonia for her blog is always a blast, and this session was double the fun because I finally met her boyfriend Spencer!

W-O-W what an amazingly fun couple they were for my first engagement session in California. Marie and Oliver met in high school and have been together ever since! When Marie first reached out to me, she asked if they could incorporate ice cream into their shoot, and of course I said yes! This is Dolce Spazio […]

This was my first shoot with my new gear, the Nikon D750 and Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART lens! Thanks, 2017 tax return. This shoot with Lucy and Lindsay was so fun and creative. I met Lindsay via Instagram last semester, and I am so glad I did! She brought her friend Lucy to the shoot […]
