I met Corinne and Kevin earlier this year at a bridal show. From across the room, I noticed Corinne’s beautiful red hair and positive energy. Eventually Kevin came around to say hello, and instantly I knew these two would have a rad wedding. Corinne is a voice teacher/ actress and Kevin runs a theater. For their wedding day style, they went with a vintage 1920’s Gatsby theme. One of my favorite parts of their wedding day was at the reception when Corinne got up on stage and serenaded Kevin with a beautiful song she wrote! It was amazing and his reaction was priceless. Congrats you two!
I’ve known Jamie for 10+ years. We met in high school and she’s always been one of the most creative people I’ve known. She met her match, Peabe in Chicago. Their story is filled with love, lots of travel, an epic proposal in Hawaii including THIS Elvis compilation, and now a beautiful daughter. Peabe and Jamie decided to have a wedding in their hometown on the first day of summer. It was such an honor and a privilege to document their day. My favorite detail was all of the handmade bouquets and flower details Jamie made by hand over the past year! My favorite moment was when it started dumping rain half way during the ceremony. You can just see how much joy these two have for life and love for each other. They had huge smiles on their faces all day long. A big congratulations to you both!

Jessica and Jacob are a sweet couple from North Carolina who wanted to have a fun wedding in Southern California close to their family. Their day was filled with laughs, love, and lots of fun! Jess wore custom converse shoes in mint and yellow, and Jacob wore his Marine uniform and their dogs were right by their side all night long from their first dance to the last! Here’s some of my favorite images.
