Hello friends!

Ah yes.  Fall has finally arrived.  While I love summer and the memories that were made, I do not miss the heat!  With that said, wedding season was in full force this Summer and continues to be as we enter into Fall!  One of my favorite shoots has to be Joanna and Kevin’s Malibu engagement session.  The locations, the light and the laughter made this one for the books.


The Love Story //
“We met on Bumble actually. I swiped because of his adorable French Bulldog and the fact we had mutual friends on FB. By that time, I had low expectations about meeting anyone from online, but I was pleasantly surprised. We met in person at a Gastropub near by apt in Hollywood. We took a couple month hiatus after the 3rd date. I think I wasn’t ready and just focused on all the things that could go wrong. But I know he was special instantly and texted him for some ice cream two days after my birthday. After that, it was game over.”


The Proposal //
“While i was napping, Kev dropped roses and passages from 1 Cor 13 up the lawn at the Airbnb in Malibu he had taken me on a surprise trip. He was at the top of the hill where a waterfall was, and asked me to marry him. I said, “Of course!””


“The first time I saw Joanna across the room I immediately liked her.  Having the privilege to get to know and date her has grown me to love her.  I was so nervous getting ready to propose.  When she said “Of course!” and embraced me, it was one of the best moments of my life.  I’m so grateful for her and am incredibly excited to share this journey with her.”

Happy Thursday!

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.
