I am so excited to share some wedding wine country magic with you guys today! Campovida, a beautiful winery situated in Hopland, is a gem I discovered through the talented wedding planner, Emily Coyne, who specializes in destination weddings in Napa and surrounding wine country.
Villa Cipressi Hotel, Lake Como Wedding
Villa Cipressi Hotel, a gorgeous historical residence, is located on the east side of Lake Como and is the perfect place to host your destination wedding. It has a beautiful mix of contemporary architecture and ancient gardens. Even if you are not getting married here, a visit to enjoy the botanical gardens and to have a drink on the terrace with an incredible view is an absolute must when visiting Lake Como.

Maternity Photo Shoot in San Juan Capistrano | Sara and Adham
This maternity photo session was so special to me. I first photographed Sara and Adham three years ago for their engagement session after they have recently moved from Sweden and were just settling in their new place. I am extremely happy that their little family is now growing and it was so nice to see them to document this new chapter in their lives! It is such an honor.

Leo Carrillo Beach Engagement Session in Malibu
Cindy and Anson’s engagement session at Leo Carrillo State Beach was all about soft pastels with a dose of bright colored tulips and breathtaking ocean views. This was a day with beautiful weather, blue skies and very strong winds, which offered us a fun little challenge. :)
These two lovebirds actually already got married, and are planning their wedding reception for next year. They have such great chemistry and are the loveliest people! I loved spending an evening together with them in Malibu and being a third wheel while they took romantic strolls along the beach ;)

Greystone Mansion Engagement Session, Beverly Hills | Ann-Margaret and Shawn
Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite photos from Ann-Margaret and Shawn’s engagement session at the Greystone Mansion - it was such a pleasure to photograph these two on film!
When choosing a location for their engagement session, Ann-Margaret and Shawn were drawn to old-world and romantic style. We discussed a few options and decided to go with the beautiful Greystone Mansion which is a dream to photograph. To schedule a shoot there isn’t an easy task, but after a few times rescheduling we were finally able to confirm the date for their shoot and it was so worth the wait!
I loved all the blues and hints of dusty rose that photograph so beautifully on film and Maher Haroun created the loveliest bouquet that tied it all together. Cannot wait for these two lovebirds to tie the knot this year!

San Juan Capistrano Maternity Session in a Field of Flowers
Film scans from Claire and Brian’s maternity session arrived early and I just couldn’t not share a few of my favorites from this dreamy shoot today! Southern California is having a super bloom and all the flower fields are making me so happy. I mean, how absolutely gorgeous is all this color and of course, that beautiful golden light.
Claire and Brian will be welcoming their baby girl in just under 2 months and I am so excited for them!

El Matador Beach Engagement Session, Malibu | Lauren and Aaron
Today I’m sharing a few of my favorites from Lauren and Aaron beautiful engagement session we photographed this past weekend. The film scans from Goodman Film Lab started rolling in today, and I just couldn’t wait!
Aaron grew up surfing in Malibu, so going to the beach is something that is really meaningful and special. El Matador is always a top choice because other beaches can hardly compare to the beautiful sea caves and massive rocks sprinkled along the coast.
Lauren and Aaron met through a mutual friend and the rest is history. They will be tying the knot this spring at Calamigos Ranch, and I cannot wait to document their celebration and work along my favorites - Weddings by Susan Dunne and Mulberry & Moss.
