Larissa & Ken’s Dreamy Coastal Wedding at Ragged Point Inn
Larissa & Ken’s Dreamy Coastal Wedding at Ragged Point Inn, California
Sunset Wedding Session at Ragged Point Inn
I recently had the absolute joy of capturing an unforgettable wedding at the stunning Ragged Point Inn on the breathtaking California Coast. Nestled between towering cliffs and the vast Pacific Ocean, Ragged Point provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most fun, laid-back couples I’ve ever worked with.
From the moment I met Larissa and Ken, I knew their wedding day would be something special. These two were the epitome of easy-going! Every smile, every laugh, and every moment felt genuine (just look at their beautiful wedding photos), making my job that much more easy.
But here’s where the story gets even better… Ken, the adventurous groom, decided to go on a pre-wedding hike the day before – not just any hike, but one of those "I'm-in-California-let's-soak-up-the-sun" kind of hikes. The result? A sunburn of epic proportions! I’ve got to hand it to him though, he laughed it off, showing up on the big day with humor and confidence, despite the extra red glow on his face!
The ceremony took place on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific, with the sounds of crashing waves and a crazy coastal breeze making everything feel as exciting and energetic as our couple. But even with the gusts, they both laughed and embraced it, turning the whole thing into one of those wonderfully unforgettable moments. In fact, it added a touch of wild romance to the whole day – like something straight out of a movie!
The reception was nothing short of a party – full of energy, laughter, and a whole lot of dancing. The backdrop of Ragged Point Inn made everything feel timeless, and Larissa and Ken’s infectious personalities made every photo feel alive.
Just as we stepped out of the reception we were hit with this beautiful golden hour light that just screamed to be a part of the wedding. So we swiftly ran to the best spot for some breathtaking couples photos. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love being a wedding photographer on the California coast.
From the sun-kissed cliffs to the fun-loving couple (and their new wind-blown hairdos), this wedding was a truly unique celebration. If you’re dreaming of a California coast wedding filled with adventure, love, and a little wind-blown magic, Ragged Point Inn is a destination worth considering!

Gem & Chanh’s Engagement Session at Griffith Observatory
Gem & Chanh’s engagement session at Griffith Observatory was magic
When I heard that this guy’s had chosen Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles for their engagement session, I was beyond thrilled. I had only been there once and always wanted to come back! The observatory, with its stunning views of the city and the iconic Hollywood sign, is a dream location for any photographer. It promised a blend of romance, history, and natural beauty, and it did not disappoint.
From the moment we arrived you could just feel each other’s energy . We started the session at the front of the observatory, where the grand architecture set a dramatic stage. Their natural chemistry blended into the backdrop of beautiful LA made for some memorable shots.
This engagement session at Griffith Observatory was truly a blast. The location's beauty, combined with this couple's enthusiasm, made for a memorable day and stunning photographs. It's sessions like these that remind me why I love what I do. Capturing the essence of a couple's relationship in such an iconic setting is a privilege, and I can't wait to see where we go to next.
If you're planning your engagement session and looking for a location that offers both beauty and significance, Griffith Observatory is a perfect choice. Not only will it provide a stunning backdrop, but it will also create an unforgettable experience. Remember to take some time to actually explore the museum, its well worth it!
Anyways, hope everyone enjoys our day at the Observatory.

Kaitlin & Andrew’s Wedding Day at Topa Topa Brewing Company at Beautiful Ojai, Ca
Kaitlin and Andrew's Wedding Day in Ojai, California was a tale of love, laughter, and a little bit of rain.
Despite the weather forecast predicting rain all day, this amazing couple didn't let it dampen their spirits one bit. Instead, they embraced the rain and turned it into a magical backdrop for their love story.
Ojai, with its charming rustic beauty, served as the perfect setting for their big day. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, it was a dreamy location for a wedding. But when the rain started pouring down early in the morning, some might have panicked. Not Kaitlin and Andrew. They saw it as an opportunity for something unique and memorable.
They were ready to make the most out of the day, rain or shine. Armed with umbrellas we set out to capture some stunning wedding portraits in the rain. The result? Pure magic. The raindrops added a romantic touch to the photos, creating an ethereal atmosphere that perfectly reflected their love for each other.
After an intimate ceremony at a friend’s house with just close family, it was time for the reception. And what better place to celebrate than Topa Topa Brewing? With its cozy atmosphere and delicious craft beer, it was the ideal spot for Kaitlin and Andrew to party the night away with their loved ones.
The rain may have continued throughout the day, but it didn't matter to Kaitlin and Andrew. They were too busy enjoying every moment of their special day surrounded by family and friends.
As their photographer, I couldn't have asked for a more fun-loving and adventurous couple to work with. Their positive attitude and willingness to embrace the unexpected made for some truly unforgettable moments that I was honored to capture.
So here's to Kaitlin and Andrew, a couple who showed me that a little rain can't dampen the joy of true love. Thank you for letting me be a part of your incredible journey. May your days together be filled with endless laughter and sunny skies haha.

Zuzia & Taylor’s Beach Wedding At Punta Venado Tulum
Boy was this a fun day. Zuzia and Taylor’s Wedding is one for the books.
Boy was this a fun day!!!
Unfortunately Zuzia had to have surgery a couple weeks before her big day but that wasn’t enough to stop her from enjoying every single moment of her wedding day. Don’t believe me?
Luckily I have the photos to proof it!
It all started with an intimate getting ready with just the gals and mom at The Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen. Meanwhile Taylor and the guys made sure to look their best for the big reveal, the first look.
Let’s just say that some planning had to be made to get Zuzia moving around. But fueled by champagne and laughter we made it happen. What a momento, it was probably one of the most emotional first looks we’ve had in a while.
After getting some shots around the hotel we were off to Punta Venado where sunny skies awaited.
The beach side ceremony was absolutely beautiful, not a single dry eye around and to top it all off Taylor pulled out one of the more spectacular exits we’ve seen when he just decided to help her new bride out on his arms. Wow!
No wedding would be complete without some story filled speeches from close friends, but don’t forget about some crazy dancing as well!
The day went by in a flash but boy was it a fun one. Zuzia and Taylor’s positive energy had us running strong till the end.
Lucky for us everything was in the experienced hands of Fernanda from Tailor Made Dreams which helped everyone relax and enjoy. Always a pleasure working with them.
I hope you guys laugh your way through life and enjoy your wedding photos for a long time.

Not even a couple hours of rain where enough to keep this guys down. We even had to shot family formals twice, one under the reception tent and one where we originally planned for after the rain stopped. In some kind of magical turn rain stopped a couple minutes before the ceremony started and it was smooth sailings from then on.
Everyone was in great spirits enjoying a tasty Mexican feast by Taller Gourmet and happy to be part of their amazing love story. Hope you guys have a lifetime full of big tasty meals surrounded by friends.
We had the pleasure of enjoying this guys wedding with Fernanda from Tailor Made Dreams that made sure everything ran smoothly, Yoni from Tent Films who provided his unique brand of cinematography to the day and marvelous Zoe who had Oli looking amazing. Till next one.
Jerry and Pedro Emilio’s Destination Wedding at Hacienda Tamchen, Merida
I found myself putting the camera down for a couple seconds at a time just to take it all in, you could just feel the energy. Mexico and Venezuela met for this beautiful boho style hacienda wedding in Merida with both sides having the time of there lives and celebrating common ground instead of their differences.
J & P had to overcome many obstacles to get to their wedding day. They lived in different countries but that did not stop them, they knew what they wanted and found a way to be together.
This is one of those special weddings where everyone feels involved, you could just see it. No tears where spared in this one.

Elena and Leon’s Wedding at Dreams Resort Tulum, Riviera Maya
Elena and Leon wanted a formal wedding in Tulum because they love the place but didn't want a typical beach wedding. Dreams Tulum was the perfect place for something like this.

Leon and I probably talked every single week up until the wedding day to make sure all the details would look awesome in the pictures. It wasn't always an easy task considering that they live in Hong Kong so some of the calls would take place at 4-5 am.
Thanks to his attention to detail we got the look and feel we talked about from the get go.
Leon is a driven intense guy and Elena complements him perfectly, she provides the perfect balance to his intensity and sometimes craziness (scroll down for evidence haha). It took me 2 minutes and many smiles to understand why everyone loves Elena, she just lights up the room.
I hope you guys have an adventure filled life traveling the globe.
P.S. We talked so much even my girlfriend knew it was Leon calling at 6 AM.
