Campagne Family Portraits ~ Avila Beach

Whole Family Gettin' Silly

A very sweet family with all kinds of kids running around ~ but when it came to picture time, this crew was ready! It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with the Campagne family on a foggy afternoon in Avila; great conditions for portraits! I believe it’s no coincidence that the family was rocking their patriotic threads right between Memorial Day & 4th of July!

Enjoy the pics & let ’em know what you think!

Nothing but pictures of newlyweds and a soundtrack.

If it’s been a while since you’ve attended a wedding, here’s a reminder: they are pure amazing.

The remarkable thing about this profession (wedding photography) is that I am privy to a synthesis of two lives as we witness them collide in spectacular fashion. Everyone in attendance has brought their support, love, gifts, amazing outfits, and cheer from hundreds/thousands of miles away to celebrate and witness this once-in-a-lifetime union. And in the blink of an eye, it’s gone. It’s so concentrated.

There are a chosen few who are honored & brave enough to speak and summarize the two lives of the newlyweds; each has 3 minutes to do so. And when you subtract the pauses (to hold back the tears), we find there’s only a couple of hundred words uttered. Potent. Emotional. Heavy.

And…I never know truly what I’m about to experience, as I lace up my boots and head out the door, to any given wedding. But it’s always remarkable.

And taking all of that, and turning it into a photo gallery…well, it’s a tall order. I love it. I’ve done it for a while now, and I can say with some confidence, I’m good at it, too.

But, at the end of the weekend… you’ll find me (as I am now), soaking in a bath. Recovering. Restoring. And preparing for next week, when it’s time to lace up again and see what the day brings. *spoiler: it’s gonna be awesome. (i.e.: Olivia+Jonah ❤️ )

Anna + Conner 🤍

What an incredible weekend celebrating these two at Riata Ranch.

Anna was actually a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed years ago, so getting the chance to document her own wedding alongside Conner felt especially meaningful. These two are brilliant humans — mathematicians, doctors, self-proclaimed nerds — but more than anything, they are deeply intentional about building a beautiful life together.

Their wedding weekend was centered on everything that matters most: connection, community, amazing food, dancing, laughter, and genuine time spent with the people they love.

From the relaxed backyard BBQ welcome party to the emotional ceremony beneath the oaks and the starry-night portraits under the new-moon sky, every part of this celebration felt authentic to who they are.

So grateful to have documented this beautiful weekend in Santa Margarita. Congratulations again, Anna + Conner ✨
