Last wedding of the year. 12/13/25
Itâs been a busy season where I hardly had time to stop to do anything but edit/pilates/kids/read/sleep. I started the year off in deep grief over the loss of my beloved cat companion of 18 years but the year unfolded and gifted me with so many new and profound connections and friendships - both new and renewedâŚwhich honestly brightened my yearâs path with so much more adventure and quite frankly new things. Iâve been so reflective (and kinda emo?!) the past two days after this last wedding.
With this wedding we took that approach of having a renewed vision by focusing on aspects of The Parker that werenât the immediate popular portrait locations (hello famous breezeway way Iâm talking about you) So excited to share this wedding (waiting for the massive amount of film!!)
The first time in my adult life that I enjoyed a pure unadulterated slurpee was with Yvonne and Jimmy for their wedding on 7-11. Free slurpees! Photobombers! A beautiful old courthouse! This teaser was captured with love on a super old 80s camcorder!

I have a consistent soft mushy spot for 3 things - funky film, that desert back lit hair light glow, and Smoketree Ranch.
All shot on a mix of #35mm and #120film
I shoot on a lot of random cameras but mostly stick to @hasselblad and #Holga for medium formats and whatever 35mm camera I grab depends on the vibe! Shout out to @psychedelic_blues_film Iâm clearly obsessed with it.
Sometimes the best locations are found when you are lost

With the Soundstage barn as their backdrop, it was a picturesque western style ceremony in the heart of Pioneertown. Congrats @lucylllllloyd đ¤

Itâs not always been easy but Iâm so proud of the life we have built together. Thank you to my friend @josemeverdejo for filming this for us and to @chelseanicolemh who made me look and feel like a million bucks that day â¤ď¸
Family portraits are a funny thing - the best and most authentic images arenât always the textbook posed ones. (Check -#4 for true fam dynamic) I love all of these photos so much - can you believe our first as a family of 4(?!) all of these photos taken in my favorite place by one of my favorite persons @bloomandplume
Such a talented photographer and artist - I hope family minis are in the near future from him đ
AndâŚjust in time for Mattâs birthday today- if you know his number a prank call would be most welcome
