This styled shoot had everything I look for in my potential clients — two people deciding hell yeah we love each other, let’s get married in our favorite place ever. And if ya didn’t already know, Joshua Tree is one of my favorite places EVER.

Why have your wedding in New York City when you could have it along the coast of Big Sur, California? This adventure couple decided to ditch the big city, and bring their friends and family to one of their favorite places on earth.

Why plan a big wedding when you can have one inside a stunning airbnb?? Of course not all airbnb’s allow events to take place on their property (make sure you check if you can have an event at an airbnb before booking!!!!) but Lana and Mo were able to find this gem of a home tucked away in the hills of the Bay Area in Northern California.

“…Seriously the cutest little boho dress that wasn’t overly fancy but also wasn’t super casual. It was the perfect mix and flowed so beautifully in the 100mph winds….no seriously the winds were CRAZYYYY this day!!!! Mikayla joked that she wasn’t even sure why she got her hair done!!! hahahah, buuuuut – everything turned out amazing and I am so obsessed with this collection of images!!! Now only if their wedding could be like…tomorrow!!! HAHAHA…”

…Like seriously…EPIC STYLING. I’m so happy to have been apart of this unreal day, and I’m soooo excited to be sharing it with you all today!!! Thank you to all the amazing vendors that played a part in creating all this beautiful magic, and thank you to Matt & Courtney for having me there to capture it all!!!!

…Now it was Betsy’s turn, even though Shawna had no idea it was coming, nor did she think Betsy would end up getting her a diamond ring. But she did. Not only that, the ring was her grandpas wedding ring melted down, who is no longer here with us. The day was amazing with these two that ended by the fire, where we ate like 50 smores, and it was the best thing everrrrr.

…And when I finally met up with them in Big Sur to capture their engagement session, it felt as though I had been catching up with long lost friends. I’m not kiddinggggg hahah we all got along SO well together. I was so excited running all over these beautiful green and yellow hill sides once we just pulled over on some random road.

…God was truly the center of this special day in the PNW, and Hannah and Ryan made sure of that. I cried during their vows, because you could truly see just how much these two have been praying for each other, and waiting for each other.

…This shoot just gives me a warmth because it feels like home. I love the overcast skies, the evergreen trees, and everything in-between. I hope you enjoy this set of images just as much as I do!

…They first met me at my house, and hopped in my car and off to the ocean we went!! On the way there we talked about how they met during spring break and one year later they got married!!!! AHHH <3 Isn’t that so so sweet?!
