{jason and april}


Jason and April were married on August 2nd 2008 at The Darlington House in La Jolla. It was such a pretty wedding, I loved all the colors they used in the flowers and decor. The wedding was coordinated by Anseth Richards of Creative Occasions With a Personal Touch. Anseth and I have worked together for a long time and I always know that one of her weddings will be stylish, organized, and fun! I was also incredibly impressed by a new florist in town, Chris Werdenberg of Indulge Flowers. Everything was so beautiful and the use of water and shells, and colors were awesome! Chris also told me later that he works hard to make every production green and to recycle all his materials which gives him major points in my book:)

April and Jason both have a love of horses, riding, and animals. It was so cool to hear their childhood stories in the toasts! It seems like they were really meant to find each other with how much they have in common! Here are some of my favorite photos from the day.
Here are a few more of their awesome vendors:

One last hug before college. A small moment, but one that carries a lot of history.🤍

Studio or on location, each session is designed to reflect your personality and style. If you’re wondering which is best for you, let’s talk it through together.

The maternity babymoon is the new thing! I have photographed so many of these and I wish I had done it myself, this sweet couple stayed at @missionpacifichotel in Oceanside which gave us so many beautiful locations to walk around and shoot as they celebrated this tiny little slice of life before becoming a family of three ♥️♥️♥️

I’ve been photographing families in North County San Diego for decades, and I still find new ways to make each session personal and meaningful. If you’re ready to create something together, let’s chat.

What matters most in a portrait session isn’t perfect outfits or perfect behavior—it’s capturing the love your family shares. That’s what you’ll remember years from now. If that resonates with you, reach out—I’d love to work with you.
