I know, I know. Photographers are ruling the planet these days. There are so many of us, and it’s hard to know who to choose.

Palm Springs is full of iconic destinations from the mid-century Kimpton Rowan Hotel to the secluded Frederick Loewe Estate. It only makes sense that our legendary backgrounds extend to the golf realm! The PGA West Pete Dye Mountain Course has everything for your perfect day with scenic mountainside views, endless green fields, and all the […]

As you plan your wedding day it’s all about creating a tribe of vendors that will bring the feeling of your wedding day to life. Not […]

Okay, okay, I know it’s not that simple. You want an explanation, and I’ve got four for you in this post—because, full disclosure, I’m a big fan of the first look. And, no, not just as a photographer but as a bride, too. If you’re asking yourself, “What the heck is a first look?”, I […]

“Did she get my gift? She has to see it before our first look, it’s important!” Bennett asked me with urgency. A wrapped gift personalized to Yvette, she sat down, her wedding party and mom peeking out the window. Yvette began to cry. Mom reaching out to give her a tissue and the smile that […]

What makes a better proposal than completely surprising your partner? Very few things in my book!

I can’t wait for you to see more of this momentous occasion and read some of my favorite moments as a Palm […]
