Sunrise on the beach is such a magical time of day and always a favorite for couples sessions. The ocean waves are so calm and peaceful, the morning light is soft and romantic, and there usually aren’t too many people around. Even if you aren’t an early bird, it’s worth waking up for.

There’s something about a cliffside elopement that just feels right. Nothing screams feeling on top of the world quite like this. Add in a bridal cape and some ocean views and you have yourself the dreamiest elopement of all time!

The thing I love most about elopements is the ability to do whatever the heck you want! This Laguna Beach elopement had all the bohemian vibes. From the color of the dress to the rented vintage convertible to the carefree frolicking on the beach, everything was just perfect.

Our Spare Change has been my very favorite jewelry company for years now! OSC was started back in 2015 by two sisters who decided to run a business out of their college attic. Their first ever pieces were actually hand stamped coins made into jewelry, hence the name “our spare change.” The mission behind their pieces was to help people share and wear their stories!

Living on the island of Oahu, Hawaii was one of the most memorable & magical times of my life. Most days I spent traveling around the island and indulging in all this tropical paradise had to offer. Hawaii life was my ultimate dream come true.

They say the early bird gets the worm but I would argue that the early bird catches the best wave. At least that’s how it worked out for this gorgeous sunrise surf session in Kaneohe, Oahu.

My session with these two was such a great reminder that the best photos are made when you let loose and just have fun! Rolling around in sand, running through water, and kissing in the rain can lead to some romantic and emotive photos. Trust the process and trust your photographer at your next couple’s shoot.
