Tim & Lauren

Lauren & Tim are easy going people that are clearly comfortable with who they are as individuals and as a couple – that makes them extremely fun to be around. This engagement session was just a little different than any other session I’ve done before because not only was it an engagement shoot, but it was an engagement video shoot!

Their video below was filmed and edited by JP McLeod & me and it marks the first of many collaborations between us! If you’re interested in telling your own story through video (no matter how simple or crazy), please contact one of us for more info.

Now enough talking and onto a few images from the afternoon and most importantly their video!
Oh wait, just one more thing (I promise!), the song you’ll hear in the video is an original song written by JP’s dad, Pete McLeod and sung by Lauren herself, which makes this video entirely 100% unique to Tim & Lauren. Amazing right? I hope you enjoy!

David & Devine

I’ve had the pleasure of playing a small part in a personal project of a close friend. This side project has presented me with the opportunity to meet some truly gifted musicians (hopefully more on that another day). Dave Yaden and Candace Devine are two singer-songwriters I’ve been fortunate enough to meet. These two talented musicians joined forces and formed the singing duo David & Devine a couple years ago and have been creating music together ever since. I was able to sit in, listen and just observe these two sing, as David played the piano. Check them out here!

I got a last minute call from Josselyn asking me if I could help her photograph Katie & Josia’s wedding. I’m so glad she called because I got to meet this wonderful couple and photograph their beautiful wedding! As you’ll see, these two are just gorgeous. I loved seeing all the thoughtful details and the flowers, ohmy the flowers were just beautiful. Enjoy!

Chrizle Reyes

Chrizle (pronounced Kriz-el) is a singer and songwriter who’s beautiful, lovable and full of talent. When I met her I instantly felt like I was meeting up with a long lost friend (I love it when that type of connection happens!). Taking every opportunity to share God’s love, she uses music to lift, encourage and inspire. She believes in giving away what she’s been given, loving those that need loving, and creating a reality only a child can imagine – filled with love, fighting bad guys, and ice cream!

Kelly & Brandon’s Wedding

Kelly and Brandon were married last month at the Kimberly Crest estate in Redlands, California. A classic and beautiful wedding with an equally charming tea party-esque reception, complete with delicious food – all prepared by their lovely family and friends!

Becca & Justin

I was beyond excited to have the opportunity to shoot Becca and Justin’s wedding along side friend and photographer, Chet Williams. Becca’s parent’s home in Hermiston, OR was the perfect setting for this outdoor wedding. Everywhere I turned there was something beautiful to be photographed. They created & planned such an incredible day with so many thoughtful details and I’m glad I was able to be a small part of it.

Lori & Mark

Have you ever spent time with a couple that is a ton of fun to be around and just makes you laugh? Mark and Lori are that couple! Their quirkiness and genuine love for one another made them a blast to shoot! I love it when my job doesn’t feel like work at all, but more like an afternoon at the beach with friends.

Eri & Pablo’s Wedding

Eri & Pablo are the type of couple that make my job incredibly easy. Their wedding day was completely overflowing with love, joy & beauty! I’m so honored that they chose me to photograph such a significant day in their lives. Congrats you two!

Mike C

What can I say about Mike? He’s such a fun & entertaining guy to be around. Somehow, he always seems to find himself in front of my camera! This time just so happened to be for some graduation portraits. Come and take a look at Mike’s serious, scholarly side as well as his goofy, fun side.

Michelle & Eric

This couple holds an extra special place in my heart and I’m so happy I was finally able to photograph them. Michelle was the first friend I made when I moved across the country to go to college. Since then she’s become one of my best friends and I literally screamed when she told me she was engaged! I had so much fun photographing them at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, which just so happens to be where they got engaged!
