    Carlsbad Beach Engagement {Kelly+Billy}

    April 10, 2017

    Carlsbad Wedding Photographer Carlsbad Beach Engagement Photos Being a destination wedding photographer and traveling to amazing and beautiful places to photograph weddings and engagements is the best! I was so thrilled when Kelly & Billy asked me to photograph their wedding in San Diego. I love doing Carlsbad Beach Engagement Photos! Very often when I’m photographing destination weddings, I don’t have the opportunity to first do an engagement session with the couple. Honestly an engagement session is so fun! Not only is it a great time though, but a great chance for me to get to know the couple before…

    Winter Zion National Park Engagement {Braden+Sara}

    January 4, 2017

    Engagement Proposals in Zion National park happen all year long, but the winter is the off season for Zion National Park. People don’t associate Zion with snow, but we do get it from time to time, and when it happens, it is beyond breathtaking. I loved photographing the engagement of Sara and Braden in Zion National Park in the winter. I love the warmth of the red and orange sandstone mixed with the cold snow. It makes for such beautiful and interesting photo backdrops. As a wedding photographer in Southern Utah I have the opportunity to work often in Zion,…

    Carlsbad Lagoon Engagement Photos North County San Diego Wedding Photography Photographing the engagement of Savannah & Dean in Carlsbad was so amazing! This couple is absolutely beautiful, inside and out! I always love photographing couples, be it wedding, or engagement photos in San Diego. The lagoon in Carlsbad is one of my favorite spots. I love the large trees and variety of colors and textures that surround the area. When I’m photographing a couple, I try to capture their emotion and love, while also bringing in amazing surroundings. Light is one of the most important parts of photography. The light…

    Sand Hallow Lake Pre Wedding {Courtney+Travis}

    May 30, 2016

    Is there anything more dramatic then Blue water contrasting with the orange colored rock of Southern Utah?! Courtney and Travis are having their wedding at Sand Hallow so it seemed appropriate to do their pre wedding photo session at the Lake at Sand Hallow. I loved Travis’ reaction as he saw Courtney walk up in her stunning BHLDN dress for the first time. The amazing floral by Bloomers was the perfect complement. The day was beautiful and so were these two. We hiked around to some pretty phenomenal locations, finally ending up cliffside high above the azure water below. Luckily…

    Lake District Wedding {Annabelle+Jeff}

    March 8, 2016

    I recently went to The Lake District to photograph a wedding. The wedding took place at the stunning Lingholm Estate which is located in Keswick. Annabelle & Jeff are both from England. Annabelle grew up in Keswick not far from the Lingholm Estate where the wedding reception took place. The ceremony took place at the little church in town. I met Jeff about four years ago while on assignment in Spain for a wedding magazine. When Jeff got engaged and asked me to come out to England to photograph his and Annabelle’s wedding I was beyond thrilled. In-between the ceremony…

    Sundance Utah Resort Wedding {Brit + Thom}

    November 13, 2015

    Situated off of the Alpine Loop in Utah, The Sundance Resort has to be one of the most beautiful spots around. It is known for its amazing ski slopes and bike runs, and of course for being a stunning wedding venue. There couldn’t be two people more sweet and fun then Brit & Thom. I was so glad to have been there to photograph their amazing wedding at Sundance. I worked side by side most of the day with Kale Fitch as he shot their wedding video (below).

    The Casino San Clemente Wedding {Shari+Andy}

    July 2, 2015

    I loved photographing this beautiful event and working with this wonderful couple! Shari & Andy were married at The Casino in San Clemente. They were honestly one of the most fun couples of all time. The two are so kind and really made each one of their guests feel special on their big day. Southern California is always a beautiful place for a wedding and I love photographing couples and events there.

    Carlsbad Beach & Lagoon Engagement {Melanie + Mark}

    March 10, 2015

    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…

    March 1, 2015

    If you are in Southern Utah but you really want to capture the essence of winter for your engagement or wedging photos there really is no better spot then Pine Valley to do pictures! I just love the amazing mountains, pine trees and landscape up there. We ran into some perfectly cloudy skies for Sammy and Kyle’s bridal photos which just added to the overall feel of the wintery scene. Bridal photos in the snow are just so beautiful and fun. I alway recommend that my brides wear a warm pair of boots and thermals under their dress if at…

    Zion National Park really is one of the most amazing places on the planet for a wedding. Joann and Dimitri came from out of town with their family to experience its wonder and beauty for their wedding day. They tied the knot in their own unique way with a wooden hand made circular backdrop and a fun State Fair themed Party after. What a fun idea for a wedding, and so enjoyable for the kids and the kids in everyone! They were a beautiful couple and were only matched by the beauty of Zion National Park.

    London Engagement Photos {Maren+Robert}

    September 27, 2014

    I had the amazing opportunity to travel to London for an engagement session with Maren and Robert. Photographing these two was such a treat. I photographed Maren’s senior pictures not so long ago and was so excited when she called me to photograph their wedding in Southern Utah and their engagement photos in England. We ran into a bit of the classic London weather but still had such a fun time walking around town rain and all. I love to travel to far off places photographing Engagements and Weddings. England really is sic a special place and I look forward…
