A rainy wedding day at Gladding Farms in Lincoln, CA turned into something truly special. From a barn-side ceremony and DIY reception details to heartfelt moments and a thoughtful vendor team, this wedding proves that imperfect weather can create the most meaningful memories.

This sweet fall family session in Yosemite Valley was full of laughter, golden light, and a beautiful surprise — the announcement of their baby girl. With tender moments, toddler joy, and the breathtaking Yosemite landscape around them, this session beautifully captured a new chapter unfolding.

I didn’t always plan to photograph elopements. I didn’t always know how meaningful and emotional they could be. But after walking through a chapter of my life (….or quite a few chapters) that didn’t end the way I expected, I started seeing love, and weddings, through a completely different lens. Literally and figuratively.
