Dani and Rich, Pacific Crest Trail Engagement

Adventured with these two on a section of the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) outside of San Diego. Dani and Rich frequent these camp grounds with their dog, Godzilla. I was low key super excited to see them strap on their hiking boots before we set off on their engagement shoot. We hiked around, followed the light, and charged up the side of a hill through some thick brush to catch the sun pop through the clouds. The lighting was impressive, the wind was fervent, and people were perfect.

Jessica + Steve, Estancia Hotel Wedding, San Diego

The first time I had the opportunity to hang out with Jessica and Steven together was sitting on the floor on the second level of a loft in Venice Beach.  Though I’m pretty sure there were Nerf Gun darts flying over and around us and some of our friends were dancing their hearts out to Destiny’s Child, none of that seemed to matter as we talked with the two of them.  I have never met anyone who listens so attentively as Jessica.  You could be standing in middle of a treacherous storm talking about the most mundane thing and she would give you her undivided attention without flinching.  Now meet her husband, Steve, generous, humble, and incredibly selfless.  I honestly don’t know if I have ever seen a groom look at his bride so tenderly.  It was an absolute joy to capture their wedding day, which radiated with a love so Divine, I will never forget it.  A million thanks to our friend Shane for helping us photograph this day!
