Randy is the heart behind the raddest skate shop in Southern California, and Thuy is a talented womenswear designer. These two met up with us in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge. We spent this rainy day trailing up to a waterfall, then headed down to the river.
After photographing Juan & Natalie's engagement, we were all even more excited for their wedding. These two can make us smile, laugh & cry all in the same few minutes.

We began the day up in the trees, then spent the afternoon bouldering around these large rocks along the foothills of Mt Whitney. These two make us laugh until we hurt, and we’re pretty stoked to be apart of this season of their lives. ;)
A few days after some heavy snowfall, we headed north up the mountain with chains on our tires. Drenched feet & numbed cheeks accompanied our high spirits. These two braved the numbing cold with us, and it was well worth it.
These two are getting married tomorrow! So it's a perfect time to show a glimpse of the day we spent with them running around this sweet place. These rock formations have been the setting for many productions like Power Rangers, The Flintstones & Star Trek. Tomorrow we'll be joining them in the lavender fields, and probably drinking a few to many lavender lemonades.

Spent the day on the freakin moon with these two. We ran around the White Sand Dunes with their dogs, then chased the sunset together. Martin & Amber are super talented designers & jewelry makers, and they obviously have a great fashion taste. Their encouragement for eachother & others is inspiring to us, and we're so honored to be apart of their engagement & upcoming wedding, where we'll all be camping for a week in Northern California!

Arches upon arches upon arches. This place was like a playground for us "adults", and we had so much fun. Quinn & Victoria spend their summers in the Grand Tetons leading hikes, and they'll be getting married this summer in Yellowstone! We're so stoked to have been apart of their engagement in their home-state of Utah, and we anticipate our next adventure together.
We all left LA for the weekend, made our way up the 5 freeway, and met up in the clouds. This was Will & Emily's first time together in Yosemite, and we're stoked to have documented them as they wandered around the valley & hiked up to the edge of the cliffs.

Sunrises are definitely one of our favorite things, and now even more so. Remember this adorable couple? We had the honor of documenting their surprise proposal a few months back. While on a road trip, Taylor & Sam met us up in Yosemite and explored around the side of a mountain then through some trees. Days like these are always welcome.
You know that feeling when a place just feels like home? Yeah, that's what this place gives you. You know those people that just make you feel like family? Yeah, that's what these people do to you. Driving home from this wedding a few weeks ago left us thinking, "do we have to leave?".
We had fun jumping on rocks with Spencer & Jessica for their engagement session in Joshua Tree, and we had even more fun wandering off the trail with them on their wedding day at Pine Rose Cabins.

Jacob & Rachel spent an evening with us trailing up Griffith Park to this view of Los Angeles. Right as we thought the day was over, a crazy sunset decided to peak through onto the city.
Oh this day couldn't have been better. Joshua Tree was the first place we went camping together years ago, and it's become a home away from home to us! It's impossible for one not to become like a child on a jungle-gym here. And, we got to share this adventure with Spencer & Jessica. Their laughter & generous hearts are so encouraging to us! After a night of adventure, we all had a few hours to drive home. These two surprised us with a bag of fresh coffee beans, and Spencer used his coffee crafting skills to make us a pot. Now we're looking even more forward to their wedding in a few months!
Joe & Jen had a rad wedding at the Smog Shoppe. <3
Our team is gay, but we serve everyone. We hope you feel seen, accepted, and celebrated by all the vendors you encounter during your wedding journey. <3
