{Kelsey and Scott} The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

Kelsey and Scott’s wedding at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was elegant, beautiful, relaxed, and so much fun to photograph. Kelsey was gorgeous and the color palette of soft purples combined with the natural beauty of the Inn was perfect. Here is the all star line up of vendors and of course a few favorite images of the day….

Some of the best photos happen when nothing goes to plan—kids running, wind in the hair, real life unfolding. That’s where the beauty is. If that sounds like your family, I’d love to photograph you.
Full-service photography means I don’t stop at taking pictures—I help you design wall art, albums, and keepsakes you’ll treasure for a lifetime. If you’d like that kind of support, I’d love to work with you.
I’ve worked with families for generations—sometimes photographing the same people from engagement through grandchildren. It’s an incredible privilege. If you’d like a long-term photographer for your family, let’s connect.
Every family is unique, and that’s what I love capturing—the real connection, laughter, and personality that make you who you are. If that’s what you want in your portraits, let’s plan something together.
Being born and raised here means I know this area better than anyone—I’ve discovered hidden gems that make for the most beautiful portraits. Want me to share them with you? Send me a message.
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.
