I have photographed countless weddings and couples in La Jolla and around San Diego over the years but am always in awe of the amazing beauty of Southern California. From the beaches to the amazing trees and cliffs this fun pre wedding session at the Cove in La Jolla California is just so stunning. I loved working with Dorothy & Kurt for their engagement photos in Zion Utah a few months earlier and really enjoyed the sunshine and waves for their bridals at the beach in San Diego. We lucked out with some absolutely perfect winter weather and had such…

Shari & Andy were recently married at The Casino in San Clemente. I loved photographing this beautiful event and working with this wonderful couple! Southern California is always a beautiful place for a wedding and I love photographing couples and events there. The costal towns like San Clemente have such charm and venues like The Casino capture it perfectly. I love the architecture and the feeling like you are stepping back into mid century Southern California. The beach is right across the street. Once the ceremony was over we took a stroll with Shari & Andy and their wedding party…

Engagement photos at Carlsbad State Beach and Lagoon I had a wonderful time photographing Melanie & Mark in Carlsbad for Engagements. Melanie wrote a little about the session as well as her and Marks story! “I had high standards when booking my wedding photographer, as photos are the most important for me when it comes to elements for my wedding day. I wanted someone with a unique style and when I came across Jimmy’s work, I knew immediately that I had to book him for our wedding. Mark was a bit hesitant to do an engagement session, but I was insistent…

I have always thought Heber and Midway would be amazing places to do engagement photos. When Jessica and Jordan left picking the location to me I know that this was the place. I love the lighting of the sun setting behind the mountains. The valley is just so stunning. Speaking of stunning, these two are absolutely gorgeous. They have known each other from high school and make the perfect pair. I had such a great time with the two of them photographing their engagement session. I love the cloths that Jessica picked out, especially the big hat. So fun! Heber…

Many couples travel from all over to come to the breathtaking red rocks of Southern Utah. Shanna & John traveled all the way from Sovanna Georgia one of my favorite areas, to come and do their engagement photos in Snow Canyon State Park. I loved their casual yet dressy southern style. The pink and blue they wore up against the green and red of Snow Canyon was stunning. There are few places as beautiful, and few couples as beautiful either! John is a helicopter pilot for the Army and with that they travel quite a bit. I can’t wait to…

Portland Oregon is such a beautiful city for a wedding. I photographed Yunwoo and Brian’s wedding at the Portland LDS Temple over the summer. The day was absolutely perfect. Oregon might be better known for it rainy days but this wedding day was full of sunshine and smiles. Yunwoo’s Family traveled from Asia to be at the wedding while Brian is from Portland. The traditional asian wedding dress Yunwoo wore for some of the photos was beautiful. I had a great time photographing them around the LDS Temple grounds as well as the Pittock Mansion in Portland. The grounds around the Pittock…

Photographing the engagement session of these two was amazing. Southern Utah is a destination for so many wanting a taste of the awe inspiring south west. Oriana and Phillip made the trip down from Salt Lake City for their engagement photos in the beautiful red rocks of Southern Utah. Taking pictures in Snow Canyon State Park for their engagement session was such a blast. They are an adventurous couple and even brought their dog along for a few shots. I love the huge dream catcher that Oriana made by hand for the shoot. Despite a little wind it worked beautifully for…

Photographing weddings in San Diego is always fantastic. I love the sunshine and the way the cool air comes in off of the ocean. I had a great time being the wedding photographer for Lexi and Hunters wedding in Carlsbad at the Carlsbad Village Inn. I originally met Lexi and Hunter a few years ago while photographing her sister Katies wedding in Napa Valley. I knew then that these two were something special. When I eventually heard from them about photographing their wedding I was ecstatic. We meat up and shot their engagement pictures around San Diego in La Jolla…

I was so thrilled to go out to Los Angeles to photograph Katie and Brian’s engagement session at the LA Observatory. What a great session! Katie and Brian are such an incredibly fun couple to be around, and really are just so in love. I love the Observatory in Los Angeles. Its a breath of fresh air… literally from the busy city below. Situated up in the hills it mixes the modern art deco lines of the observatory with the nature and surrounding it. Photographing Katie and Brian there reminded me just how much Southern California has to offer. From…

San Diego is one of my favorite places on earth, and spending time with Lexi and Hunter there for their engagement session was icing on the cake! I have worked a lot with Lex’s Sister Katie over the years. I photographed Katies engagements in Encinitas and her wedding inNapa. We started our fun filled session in Old Town San Diego and moved onto La Jolla to end it at the beach. I grew up in San Diego and lived for many years in La Jolla so I know it really well. Photographing couples there is one of my favorite things to…
