Green Gables Wedding Photography | Kendall + Andrew

Green Gables is a historic Garden estate in North County that was absolutely perfect for Kendall and Andrew to celebrate their decision to marry and spend the rest of their lives together. After eight years together, this adorable couple was so excited to share their love and make this commitment in front of all their friends and family, it was truly special and I was honored to be part of it! Green Gables is so beautiful and unique, it is surrounded by Ivy covered Arbors, blooming rose gardens, trickling fountains, picturesque statuary, and thousands of bright twinkling lights. I love photographing weddings at this venue and I feel that the look and feel of the property was perfect for Kendall and Andrew’s wedding. I love so many of the photos, here are a few of my favorites!

As I pointed my camera to the sky, to photograph the seabirds soaring on the wind, my client said, you did that on our last session 3 years ago, and we have the photo hanging in our home! Yes, I do that a lot. Eyes on the sky and head in the clouds, this is something my mom always used to say. ❤️

Honestly? They barely noticed I was there. So in love!!

Just two people, wildly into each other,
cracking up on the beach like it`s the only place that matters.

10/10 would third wheel again.

Because one good photo is a parenting milestone.
Getting everyone dressed, out the door, and smiling in the same frame? That’s Olympic-level parenting.
But it doesn`t have to be perfect to be beautiful.
I`ll guide you through it, chase the giggles, and capture the moments that matter—whether your toddler is smiling or making their signature no-nap face.
And yes… we will get that one magical photo. Maybe even a few.

Time is a thief, but photos are time capsules.
The wind, the laughter, the way they still reach for each other after all these years—these are the kinds of moments that deserve to be saved.
You can’t hold onto time, but you can hold onto this.
Let’s turn these fleeting seconds into something that lasts.

These are the moments that make up a lifetime.
The kind you don’t plan. The kind you can’t pose.
Just a girl chasing the man who makes her laugh the hardest.
This is what real memories look like—movement, joy, love.
The way he turns to let her catch up. The way she thinks he’s the most fun person on the planet.
It’s not perfect lighting or perfect stillness. It’s perfect connection.
