Laura+Andersson ~ Engagement Elopement at Allegretto Vineyard Resort
What’s an “engagement-elopement?” you might ask, well, it’s one of the most wonderful symptoms of Covid ;). These two have decided that while it may not be wise to marry in front of a big crowd in 2020, that won’t stop them from getting fancy (and I mean FANCY) and taking some pics! I loved spending a couple of hours with these two beautiful souls. Thanks for the hang sesh you two 🙂

Last night, as we attempted to climb a sycamore tree, we realized these boots are made for walking ONLY…go to the next aisle for the climbing boots.
Ride Ataxia SLO 🚴♀️🌊
Or as we like to call it: our college reunion.
A bunch of buddies—now a few years out of college—coming together for a good cause: @rideataxia. While he might be a bit of a Barney, it’s always easy to show up for Kyle Bryant: a fierce athlete, a constant source of motivation, and since our days at UC Davis, one of my closest friends.
Most of my greatest adventures started with one of his wild, bone-headed ideas—and he’s been dragging me along ever since: New Zealand, the Race Across America, countless Ride Ataxias… to name a few. I’d bet many of you reading this have your own story of how you know Kyle Bryant. 😉
This past weekend, friends and FAmily (pun intended!) showed up in Avila Beach for the 2nd annual Ride Ataxia Hometown event—a fun cruise down the Bob Jones Trail to support the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (@curefa_org) 💙
The fundraising goal is BIG, and we’re almost there. If you’re able, please consider donating:
Short ride, big impact.
It’s not too late to give ~ link in my next story ➡️

Natalie & Jaron threw one of the most unforgettable weddings I’ve had the joy of capturing — a colorful, campy, non-traditional celebration at the iconic @madonnainn1958 that broke every mold in the best way possible. Think: a tattoo bar, a 1900s box camera photobooth, rhinestones, cowboy boots, floral his & her outfits and some serious line dancing magic…
There’s not enough space here to show it all >> venture to the blog (link in profile) for more :)

A celestial celebration 🌕✨
Erica & Rob’s wedding at Swallow Creek Ranch was something out of a dream — a warm, pristine day with white-capped waves in the distance and a soft coastal breeze in the air. After 14 years together, they stood with their children, surrounded by family and friends, and promised forever.
The ceremony was heartfelt, the setting surreal, and the full moon rose like a quiet blessing over the evening. A day filled with meaning, memory, and love that’s stood the test of time. 💛
