Iceland Part I // Styled Engagement // International Elopement Photographer

It's hard to even put into words how incredible this trip was and how unreal these places are. It all still feels a bit surreal. This whole collaboration kind of snowballed from my daydreams and musings to travel plans and last minute shopping sprees. Somehow it all came together and exceeded every single expectation. 

Kaleb and Ashley are two of our dearest friends so once we started talking about a trip to Iceland it was hard to think about anything else. At some point I casually mentioned doing some styled shoots while there and they were totally on board so naturally all of my creative energies launched into hyperactivity dreaming up scenarios. I'm telling you, if you're a photographer, find yourself some beautiful friends and go travel the world together!! I'm hooked.

So here is Part I of who-knows-how-many-parts of Iceland adventures with these two hotties.

Enjoy!!!

Redwoods Camp Wedding - Santa Cruz Wedding Photographer

I don't think I have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to truly tell you how I feel about this wedding and these two awesome people. Little did I know that when Bill and Mayka were planning their dream wedding they were also planning MY dream wedding! First of all can we talk about this dreamy venue situated perfectly in the mountains surrounded by redwoods? And Mayka's dress! A custom original with a story of it's own. These two seriously thought through every detail and created one magical day. I feel so incredibly grateful that Kyle and I got to play our small role and witness the beginning of Bill and Mayka's journey.
