Megan and Gray gathered their family and friends at Sparrow Valley Retreat, a small cabin nestled underneath the California redwoods. They shared their vows under the trees, ate dinner together on the lawn, and ended the night with a giant dance party on the patio. Here are some of my favorite photographs from their day.

A glimpse into Ellen and Kevin’s wedding at El Rey Court in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A day filled with good cocktails, great food, and amazing people. Weddings (and people) like these are the reason I love this job so much.

In the process of planning my own wedding, I’ve been brainstorming concepts to build a dinner table that would be as low-waste as possible (zero-waste, if I did it right.) Often times, people think we have to compromise aesthetics for the sake of sustainability, but I’m confident that the two can coexist. Thus, this series was born. With the help of some of my friends and local vendors, we are setting out to show the wedding industry that low-waste wedding design is not only doable, but can be beautiful as well.

As 2022 comes to an end, I really wanted to spend these last few days reflecting on all the good things that happened this year — from the people who helped me survive, to the shows that made me laugh, to the music that made me feel alive, and everything in between. So, in the spirit of the holidays, here are a few of my favorite things.

Gianna and Wyatt held a camp wedding out in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, deep out in the field of his father’s ranch. They invited their friends and family to bring their tents and camper vans and spend a whole weekend with them, and this is how it went.

For their engagement session, Mary and Mitch decided to spend an afternoon together at the Washington coast, something a little different from the Arizona desert they used to call home.

After two long years without international travel, my friends Neco, Zack and I finally got to cross off a long-awaited trip off of our bucket list. For a week, we drove together through the Italian alps — hiking mountains, learning the language, shooting film, and drinking entirely too many aperol spritzes.
