Amanda + Mike // Intimate Backyard Wedding

05-30-20-A&M-454.jpg

The world has looked much different the past few months. I don’t think anyone could have planned for 2020 to unfold the way it has. But just as history has shown us, the one thing that will always remain is love.

On May 30th, Amanda and Mike planned to be wed with hundreds of their friends and family present.. Due to the unforeseen, plans were shifted and the celebration was postponed to next year. But Amanda and Mike knew that May 30th, 2020 was still going to be the day they became husband and wife.

As a nurse, Amanda has been on the frontlines of Covid-19. While dedicating most of her time at the hospital and wedding planning between shifts, this bride-to-be had zero down time during quarantine. I just want to give a huge shout out to this beautiful friend and thank her for everything she continues to do for us during this time.

These are the days that I will remember forever. As a friend and a photographer. Strip away everything and leave what is truly needed on a wedding day. If you think about it, it’s only two things. You, the love of your life, and well, maybe a couple bubble guns and air horns.

Congratulations Amanda and Mike! It was an honor to be a part of this incredibly beautiful evening and document such an enormous amount of love. See you on the dance floor in 2021!

La Jolla, CA // Nicole + Chris

2019-04-11_0112.jpg

Trying to sum up the right words here about this amazing Southern California wedding… but I just keep coming up with the same thing I say every time I share photos these days. I am so blessed. Seriously! To meet couples like Chris and Nicole who share a passion for life together and document that love on one of the best days of their lives.. I am the lucky one!

I admire their values, the love and respect they have for their families and friends, their adventurous sprits that takes them all over the world, their appreciation for art, and don’t get me started on their amazing sense of fashion. I think these photos will be enough evidence of all these things I’ve mentioned. Chris and Nicole, you made my job SO easy. Truly. Thank you for bringing me out to the West Coast for this amazing day. It is one that I will cherish for years to come. All the love to you both and I already know you are having an amazing first adventure as husband and wife in Japan! Enjoy this little (big) blog post of your wedding day!
