Wow. Still so in awe of this past weekend. Francesca and John! You both have such beautiful souls and I am so blessed to have been chosen by you guys to document such a huge day for you. Thank you.

The day was filled with so much love, super chill vibes and so. much. family. I’m gonna stop talking and just let these photos speak for themselves for a bit.

Francesca + John’s wedding venue is so special. It’s the ranch that John’s parents got married at 40 years ago in Alpine, CA. I KNOW RIGHT!?

Got some shots of the guys getting ready in their SICK, straight from the 80’s shades. Could not handle. I had to remind myself to have them take them off for some photos!

A quick cheers before their first look!

Can we just talk about this completely DIY arch for a sec?! F+J’s family and friends totally did this. What an absolute labor of love. And it’s stunning!

Soooo much family love. I felt right at home.

2020 tour dates coming soon 😉

One of my favorites parts of the day is when I’m able to take the bride and groom away for a bit and capture just the two of them together. I’m in love with allll of these!

Woohoo! Reception time!

You better believe that the grand entrance’s sound track was Old Town Road.

The rest of the night was filled with beautiful music, sentimental speeches and dancing.

Francesca + John. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kindness and hospitality that you showed even at our first meeting. I’m so happy to have played a part in your wedding day.

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.  I became obsessed with photographing anything and anyone willing to get in front of my lens.  Still lifes, landscapes, pets, people.  People.  What started out as a passion for photography quickly turned into a passion for people and the love they share.  I can't put words to the feeling of capturing fleeting moments, celebratory tears, warm embraces,  or loving glances.  What I can say is how incredibly fulfilling photographing weddings all over the west coast for the past twelve  years has been.  I'm thrilled to have you here and can't wait to work with you!
