Ever meet someone that's smiling almost all the time? That's Delia - and her smile is insanely contagious. When I photographed her and John at their engagement session at UCSD earlier this year, she brought out the most genuine, awesome laughter and expressions from John that it made the session almost *too* easy. Their wedding ceremony was held at The Immaculata Church on the grounds of University of San Diego, their portraits were taken at Ellen Browning Park in La Jolla, and their reception was at The Cuvier Club.

Back in October, I flew over to Vancouver, B.C to attend a photography conference - something I try to do once or twice a year in order to get inspired, learn new techniques, and network with the ever-growing creative community.
Before I took my trip, I was lucky enough to book a session with Caroline & Jesse...
Read moreCara + Patrick | Paradise Point | Wedding Photographers San Diego
So, when I first met Cara & Patrick, I immediately felt a little intimidated - Patrick is tall, has his head shaved, and is a veteran of the Marines, while Cara is a world-traveler and looks like a model.

I met Mike when I first moved to San Diego almost 5 years ago - we photographed many weddings together and I quickly realized how great we worked as a team.

I met Juli & Harold last year when meeting with them to chat about their wedding. It didn't take long for us to warm up to each other, and after a little coaching in front of the camera, these two blew me away with how comfortable they looked in front of the camera. Check out a small preview of their Poway engagement session below and keep an eye peeled for their intimate wedding at Frank Sinatra's old mansion later this year!
Enjoy!

Nicole & Joseph met up with me at Sunset Beach for a quick couple's session since Joseph recently got back from deployment. We hiked along Sunset Cliffs (and through some shady alleyways) and got some awesome photos at the peak of golden hour. Check out a small selection of their session below.
