Rob and I were lucky enough to spend this last week in Santa Barbara at a photography conference called UNITED. The conference was incredible and we have truly made life long friends whom we adore so much…but more on that later. When booking our trip, we decided to fly out early and enjoy a little […]

We are so stoked to share Alyssa & James’ engagement session today. These two are gold! We seriously feel like we found a treasure. Alyssa is the sweetest person you will ever meet. She listens intently and cares deeply. James is a blast. He had Alyssa’s cheeks hurting only 10 minutes into the session because […]

Although we have only met Katie & Curtis once, it is obvious that these two are wild, fun, and free. The couple has already traveled the world together and are up for any adventure. Even after the engagement session, Katie & Curtis drove 4 hours to be at the X games! Their wedding will be […]

These two are getting married at a zoo. Yup, if that doesn’t prove how fun they are I’m not sure what will. Seriously, cocktail hour will consist of feeding the giraffes! We are obviously pretty pumped for their summer wedding. AND..they love to adventure! Jenna & Casey had no problems with jumping across rocks and […]

Wow. What a year it has been! Rob and I can both confidently say that 2013 was the best year yet! Here is a little peek at the behind the scenes of our day jobs. What a joy it has been working full time with my wild (and good looking) husband! Thank you, thank you, […]

Every now and then it hits me. I realize how incredibly blessed I am that I get to photograph people for a living. When we were shooting Darlene & Kawika’s engagement, it hit me again. I get paid to hang out with marvelously cool people….crazy I know. Darlene & Kawika complement each other perfectly. They […]

It was a quiet morning and fresh snow had fallen. Ben had been planning this proposal for a while and he had all of Kelley’s family and friends waiting to celebrate her. Rob and I were dressed in snow camo and had built a little fort to hide in while Ben walked Kelley to the […]

Oh boy, we are so excited about these two! Meet Makayla & Jordan. We knew we would like this couple when they decided to brave the 9 degree weather for their outdoor engagement session! After the shoot we got to warm up with Hot Toddy’s as Jordan & Rob talked football, and Makayla and I […]

We met Chris back in College when we led Young Life together, and I nearly freaked out when he asked us to shoot his wedding. Knowing how awesome Chris is, we knew his new lady friend would not disappoint…especially when they invited us to get burgers and beer before the engagement session. Chris & Marianne, […]

We seriously hope to be as cool as these two one day! Not only are they obviously stylish and good looking, they are so stinkin’ fun! Just wait until you see what they have planned for their wedding next September!
