Good morning, Friends 🙂

As I sit in my kitchen thinking about the busy day that awaits tomorrow, I can’t help but get excited, anxious and..well..scared.
I’ve tried my best to fully be myself on this blog and to keep it real, and so I figured I’d write out my thoughts hoping it will help someone and simply get some things off my chest.  Tomorrow, I’m shooting my first styled wedding shoot in 3 years.  For the first time in forever (yes I thought of Frozen too) I have finally let go of my fear and released these visions into the minds of other creatives.  I am so grateful for all of the amazing wedding vendors that have stepped forward and helped me sculpt my vision into an amazing, tangible piece of art.  It’s amazing what can happen when like minded individuals can get together and create.  And that’s where the scary part comes in.  All of these talented people have sacrificed their time and money on making this shoot a success.  “What if I fail?”  “What if I’m not good enough?”.  These are just a couple of the thoughts that flood into my mind.  Once again, even for just those split seconds, I had let fear taken over every positive fiber of my being.  I had forgotten that this whole idea came after I had finally overcome the fear that was holding me back and took that first step.  Friends, don’t let fear hold you back from creating something beautiful.  Just. Do. It…..and yes, I thought of Shia Labeouf too.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Justin

I've always been drawn to all things creative, but didn't pick up a camera until my senior year in high school to document a trip my friends and I were taking to San Francisco.  I had no idea how to correctly work my camera, but instantly fell in love with the concept of capturing moments in an artistic way.  What started out as a passion for photography quickly turned into a passion for people and the love they share.  After more than a decade photographing weddings throughout California and the West Coast, I've learned that the photographs couples treasure most aren't always the ones we plan. They're the fleeting expressions, movement, embraces and unexpected moments in between.

My approach balances those honest moments with thoughtful editorial portraiture, creating a collection that feels elevated, effortless and entirely your own.
