{Krissy and Elvin} A Rancho Bernardo Inn Wedding

Krissy and Elvin’s wedding at the Rancho Bernardo Inn was absolutely gorgeous and romantic. I love this venue for weddings and photography, and their food and catering is also amazing! Kristen Garuba of Pink Papaya Events coordinated the entire day to perfectly match what the couple was dreaming of and Annette Gomez of Flowers by Annette went above and beyond to create florals that encompassed both the bride and grooms styles. Here are just a few of the beautiful images from the wedding day!

Your portraits should do more than live on a hard drive—they should be printed, framed, and enjoyed every day. If you’d like help designing artwork for your home, I’d love to guide you.

A little saltwater, a lot of love, and two kids who refuse to stay dry for more than 30 seconds! The kind of session where no one wants it to end because everyone’s having too much fun.
I believe portraits should be simple, natural, and full of love—not stiff or overly posed. If that’s the style you’re looking for, let’s make it happen.

Some families I’ve photographed since before their kids were born. Now those kids are teens. That long-term connection is what makes this work so meaningful. If you’d like that kind of relationship, let’s start today.
