Janika + Kenneth Venice Beach Elopement Photography | Los Angeles Wedding Photography

Janika and Kenny wanted to get married in a beautiful place, simply. So they contacted me with the dates they’d be in Southern California and we set a date together. We met in downtown Venice Beach and Liz Babinski, an amazing officiant, met us there! We also met with JohnMark, one of our amazing partner videographers! Then we wandered around for awhile, explored the Venice Canals, then regrouped at Venice Beach for the ceremony. It was simple and beautiful.

Liz + Kyle | El Matador Beach Engagement Photos

If you’ve followed my work for any portion of time, you’ll know I love shooting engagement photos at El Matador State Beach. It has some great rock formations, natural wildlife, and sunsets. But that also means it’s normally very busy, especially for photographers. I loved shooting Liz and Kyle’s engagement session here! They’re such a beautiful couple and I got to shoot their wedding photos recently, as well!

Marie + Lane | Yosemite Elopement Photography

Fall in Yosemite is a risky time to go. The weather makes access to Glacier Point unpredictable. We weren’t able to go up to Glacier Point for Marie and Lane’s wedding, but you wouldn’t know it. We had a beautiful day in the moody clouds. We wandered around Tunnel View, went out to El Capitan meadow, took a nap, then met again for an evening wedding at Yosemite Chapel. I love being a Yosemite wedding photographer!

Ani Family | Family Photos Carbon Canyon Regional Park

I love doing family photos in LA, especially at Carbon Canyon. I love the challenge of bringing kids out of their shell. Carbon Canyon is really fun because there’s some walking involved, so the kids had something to do. It was kind of a cloudy morning, but it ended up being really beautiful!

Sarah + David | LA Arboretum Engagement Photography

We got off onto a rocky start here because the Arboretum was closing for their light show (and apparently don’t allow hangers ???), but these two were troopers! We regrouped and went forward with it! Sarah wore a beautiful, chic blush dress, and David wore complimentary semi-formal clothes. I met Sarah on a film shoot! She and I were two of the only girls on set and I was instantly attracted to her vibe. I was so honored when they asked me to do their LA engagement photos!

I will remember these two for the rest of my life. This was the smallest wedding of my Yosemite career, just these two. I officiated for them, and that was it. This was my ideal when I started doing Yosemite wedding photography.

Krista + Ricky | Downtown LA Engagement Photography

For those of you who have looked through my website, you know I don’t do a ton of downtown LA engagement photography. But when these two told me about their relationship and how they had grown there, it wasn’t even a question. We started off at the Walt Disney Concert Hall doing the first engagement photos, and then wandered downtown in a route I planned while on a film shoot earlier that month.

Yosemite National Park Family Photos Sister’s Trip

I have six siblings, each one better than the last. My two sisters, Pattie and Grace, came down to Los Angeles to visit with me, and we went to Yosemite together. It was a beautiful, all-to-brief, trip. Family isn’t always made up of people you’d choose, but regardless of whether or not you choose them, they’re yours forever. Nothing can separate you. In my case, though, I love the wandering, fearless conversations I can have with my sisters. We don’t always agree, but it doesn’t really matter.

Yosemite Sunrise Elopement Photography | Stephanie + Alistair

On September 2nd, 2021, a boy and a girl hiked into the Yosemite wilderness and came out husband and wife. I got to photograph Stephanie and Alistair’s Yosemite elopement portraits. The day after they eloped, we met at Glacier point right as the sun began to rise and captured their love in camera.

Griffith Observatory Elopement | Jake + Darcie

If you take one thing away from this post, I want you to take this away: go do a Griffith Observatory elopement. When you do, go elope at sunrise. Go elope at Griffith Observatory at sunrise. Morning is pretty much the only sensible time to have any privacy at a popular spot in California. As a southern California elopement photographer, I’ve learned this the hard way.
