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!

You keep saying you’ll book family photos when you feel more like yourself…

But the truth is—there’s always something. Life is busy. Your body changes. The timing never feels perfect.

And underneath that… it’s not really about the timing. It’s about not wanting to be happy in how you look.

But your kids don’t see any of that. They just see you. The way you hug them, laugh with them, show up for them every day.

If this has been on your heart, maybe this is your sign not to wait another year 🤍

When you work with me, you don’t just get a photographer—you get someone who plans, guides, and creates artwork you’ll love for years. If that’s what you’ve been searching for, let’s start.

For me, photography has never just been about images—it’s about people, relationships, and the stories we share. If that’s what you’d like in your portraits, let’s talk.

At the end of the day, portraits are about people—the ones you love most. If you’d like photos that reflect that love, I’d love to create them for you.

No two families are alike, and no two sessions should be either. That’s why I design each one with your unique story in mind. If you’d like that for your portraits, let’s plan something special.
