It’s not only an immense privilege and absolute joy to photograph the wedding of a close friend and colleague, but Aerin & Robin’s celebration was truly one of a kind. Every moment was filled with surprises, whimsy, and so much heart. I feel incredibly grateful to have witnessed—and documented—their love. 💕 I’m so proud of Robin for the journey they’ve been on since the day we met (I think they were 17!) and every day since. Inspirational. And Aerin is every bit as amazing ~ these two are an explosion of beautiful in all of the ways. Congratulations!

Some weddings are just “the vibe” ~ I don’t even know why, but every frame from this wedding was glorious. Probably just a beautiful couple, a glorious day and some incredible views*
*The Chateau did not hurt

Congratulations, Kiara+Brice!!!

Senbazuru—the tradition of 1,001 origami cranes at weddings—is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, symbolizing good fortune, longevity, and a thousand years of happiness. Traditionally, family and friends fold 1,000 paper cranes while sharing wishes for the couple’s future, with the 1,001st crane added as an extra blessing and a little boost of good luck.

It’s always such a treat to see meaningful cultural traditions woven into a wedding celebration. At Jackie and Ryan’s wedding, we had the privilege of experiencing not only the beauty of Japanese traditions but also the vibrant warmth of Mexican culture, showcased through incredible food, festive drinks, and an unforgettable performance by a talented Mariachi band. It was a beautiful celebration that honored both families and the traditions that shaped their story.
