E + M met in college at Stanford, where they spent their weekends exploring the outdoors and hiking in the redwoods. Though they ended up moving to the New York City, they returned to the West Coast to get married in the place where they fell in love! There were so many sweet moments on their wedding day - M gifting each of his groomsmen Star Wars themed socks chosen specifically for them, the two of them tearing up during the first look, M walking his grandparents down the aisle, having their first dance (which was beautifully choreographed by their friend), all the cousins rallying around the ringbearer on the dance floor, and ending the night with a sparkler exit.

​Faroe Islands had always been on our bucket list - it drew us in with its Iandscapes reminiscent of Iceland without the crowds. Rich in culture, salmon, and sheep, this country captured our hearts as we spent 7 days trekking through the rain and wind and mud to see the epic cliffs. If you enjoy quiet coffee shops, epic adventure, and off-beat adventures, check out our 7-day itinerary for the Faroe Islands!

Did you know that there is a place where the sun never sets? We knew that we wanted to visit Norway in the summer for this very reason - to chase the midnight sun. And it was well worth it! Romantic fishing villages, small towns connected by bridges, and some of the most incredible views you will ever find make it easy to see why the Lofoten Islands are a pilgrimage destination for so many hikers and thrill seekers around the world.

When A + S first met, they were working in downtown Chicago. They quickly fell in love from the very first date that ended up lasting well into the night. After a few years, they started a new adventure together and moved to Dallas. When A started thinking about how to propose to the love of his life, he did a quick Google search on most beautiful places to propose and stumbled upon Big Sur! After seeing photos of the incredible coastline, he knew that it was the perfect place to pop the question. Together we plotted to arrange a photoshoot (which wasn't unusual for them) as a surprise gift for their trip to California. She didn't suspect a thing when he suddenly got down on one knee. We ended the day with sunset on the beach - it couldn't have been more romantic. Check out the rest of A + S's proposal below!

There were a few things Y + B knew they wanted on their wedding day: an intimate first look down the aisle in the redwoods, and pretzels and beer to represent one of their favorite trips abroad to Germany. B had come from a family of 8 sisters whereas Y was an only child, so they chose to keep their guest count on the smaller side to balance the two sides. These two's wedding day was so full of laughter and fun - you could just tell how excited B's sisters were to include a new sister in the family and they surprised the couple with a rap song performance just for them. Check out the rest of their wedding at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden below!

You may have heard of engagement or pre-wedding sessions, but L + E chose to do a post-wedding session instead! These two eloped at San Francisco City Hall with a simple ceremony, and then drove down to Big Sur a week later as newlyweds to capture their wedding photos. It was one of the warmest days in Big Sur, but they trekked up the stairs all the same and made each other laugh all along the way. We ended their session at the beach, capturing the last sunlight over the horizon before making our way home. These photos then became their announcement to their family and friends that these two high school sweethearts had finally got married! Check out the rest of their Big Sur wedding portraits below!

C + H met in school in college, but their love story didn't start until the fateful year of COVID. C had stayed in America, but H had moved back to Singapore. They started chatting, and what began as a few conversations turned into a cross country love story. A few trips later, she finally made the move back to America to be with C. With two weddings planned - one in each country - they decided to capture their pre-wedding photos here in California where they now live. Check out their beautiful redwoods and coast session in Big Sur!

For anyone who has ever come to Pfeiffer Beach, you might notice a sign at the entrance noting how windy it can be, and that there are no refunds once you enter. And when they say windy, they mean it (think sand blowing into your eyes and mouth - not the most pleasant experience!) Out of the countless times I've been here, I've only had 2 days where it hasn't been insanely windy - A + S' elopement coincidentally being one of them. It was the perfect setting for these two who always had a connection to the ocean. We spend the rest of the day driving up Highway 1, where an epic fog drifted over Bixby Bridge and along the coastline. Check out the rest of their Big Sur elopement below!

This trip was a few years in the making - our original destination had actually been Morocco. Since it was too expensive to fly straight into Marrakech from San Francisco, we booked flights to Lisbon instead, with smaller flights in between the two cities. Just as we were getting closer to our trip date, Morocco closed its borders. Scrambling to figure out a backup plan, we weren't sure if we wanted to go or postpone for another time given all the travel restrictions. After a few days and nights of nonstop research, I stumbled upon the island of Madeira. It had a variety of landscapes that got us excited for our trip again - epic mountain views, beautiful coastlines, and lush waterfalls. We decided to still go on the trip and spent most of our time on the island of Madeira, while still hitting up the iconic sights of the Algarve Coast and Sintra castles on mainland Portugal. Check out our 8-day itinerary in Portugal!

The Dolomites had always been at the top of our bucket list - we had seen countless photos from fellow elopement photographers of the epic mountain views and famous Lago di Braies with its crystal clear blue waters. When travel started re-opening, we planned a summer trip to Iceland, but were unable to go to our second destination (Norway) because it was closed to tourists. So I hopped onto the Google Flights Explore page to see where we could fly to from Reykjavik. (Pro travel tip: Just put in your starting location and you'll be able to find out where you can fly to and even put filters like budget or non-stop only!) Just 16 days before we were leaving for Iceland, we decided to book a flight to Milan and rushed to plan the second half of our trip in just a few weeks. Luckily I had already mapped out most of the spots I wanted to go to on a Google Map, but it definitely wasn't without a few hiccups along the way.
