Now booking 2017 and 2018 weddings in Southern California, Washington DC, and nationwide.
In the photography business world, it is often said that you need to run your business like a business, and that means taking emotion and personal feelings out. Technically, I prefer the term “semi-retired”, because I fully plan to stay connected to photography, and find my joy in it again. I may occasionally take commissions when the client and I share a particularly moving vision for the work, but largely, I want to find the joy again. I’ll occasionally work with my peers, but largely I hope to find my way back to a career in the non-profit sector.
It was a girls’ night at Maria’s house, and Meg brought the wedding magazines, and I brought the wine. Meghan let me know she wanted me to capture her wedding day, planned for a little more than a year away, and I instantly agreed. It wasn’t long before Meg asked me if there was any way I could be in the wedding and photograph it. I’m sure you’re wondering how I pulled off shooting a wedding and being a member of the wedding party.
Nestled between mountains, and boasting a beautiful lake, surrounded by farmland and forest, it is certainly a location we won’t see often in Southern California. I took her to one of my favorite trails, and up into the forest on the mountainside to create stunning golden hour images. (Note: golden hour doesn’t start until about 9 p.m. this time of summer up here! After spending about an hour in the woods, watching bald eagles fish, and otters play in the river nearby, we decided to capture just a handful of fun images to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Matt and Christian met me at Washington, D. C.’s John F. Kennedy Center this past winter. This February day certainly did not feel like a winter day, and was a great reminder of the weather I could plan on year round for as a San Diego and Orange County wedding photographer! In DC, the Kennedy Center is well-known for it’s unique architecture overlooking the Potomac. To see more of Christian and Matt’s engagement session, and to see some sneak peeks from their wedding day, be sure to follow along on Instagram!
