Simple and Elegant at its Most Beautiful - Ventura County Photographer

The Christmas holiday came and it went but not without a beautiful event to photograph. On Saturday, December 26th I had the pleasure and honor of photographing a beautiful couple so deeply in love with each other and their faith.

Whilst down in the Los Angeles area visiting my wonderful family I ventured off on my own for just a few hours to help a co-worker photograph her cousin's wedding. The weather was gorgeous and almost as beautiful as the ceremony and the bride and groom themselves.

It was my first time photographing a wedding in a mission and it was an interesting one to boot. I ended up with the best seat in the house and it allowed me to capture some unique and memorable moments of the traditional Catholic ceremony.

Chelsea, thank you so much for having me photograph this wedding with you. But most importantly, Naomi and Mark, thank you so very much for letting me be a part of your sacred day. You are truly a beautiful couple inside and out and I wish you all the love and happiness all of your days together.

Now for a peak at some of the blessed moments I was able to capture for Naomi and Mark.

Happy New Year to all!!

True Religion, New Love - Novato Photographer

Meet Maddie and Jason! Jason is my husband's longest friend since elementary school and Maddie is his spunky and adorable girlfriend. They share a brand new love that is growing with each passing day. Coming up on 8 months together as a couple and already have so many little details that are important to them.

The first detail I knew about going into this shoot was that they planned their outfits carefully and decided to wear the same brand jeans...True Religion jeans. How cute is that?!

However, a more important detail was that one of the locations for this session had to be where they met. At the Marin Golf and Country Club. Lovely location! After that we made our way out to the Cheese Factory. Not for the cheese, though I would have been a super happy camper; I love cheese! There are some fun and beautiful photo ops there.

Maddie and Jason, thank you so much for asking me to take some special photographs of you this weekend. We almost missed the opportunity due to rain but we got lucky!! See you two soon!
