No Obstacle Can Stop Their Love

Caroline and Timothy had everything stacked against them the day of their wedding. Just a few examples:

- Rainy weather threatening their outdoor ceremony? ✔️

- Power outage for the entire city of Laguna beach? ✔️

- Groomsman trapped in an elevator for close to an hour? ✔️

But despite all of the impending disasters, Caroline and Timothy never lost their cool. Instead, they embraced the challenges as a part of their wedding story and looked for the fun the day still offered, and their wedding day was all the better for it.

Enjoy watching this sneak peak of their coastal wedding day at the lovely Inn at Laguna Beach.

I Thank God You Are My Best Friend

Four years ago Kaitlynne and Adrian became work colleagues, flipping burgers and serving shakes at In-N-Out. Four years have gone by, full of hangouts with their brothers, late nights at Norms, and soaking in the excitement of monster truck rallies. And now, they begin a new adventure together as husband and wife. Congrats to these two In-N-Out lovers on their amazing journey!

There's No Life Without You / Lake Oak Meadows Wedding

Endurance and patience are two qualities every couple needs. Cory and Alisha's relationship is a perfect example of this. It all began when Cory dreamed one night about meeting a gorgeous blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. He quickly dismissed it as a fantasy of the mind - that is, until he met Alisha one week later through his college basketball teammate. It was at that point that he realized God had made his dream come true, and they've been inseparable ever since. Alisha fell in love with Cory's silly, playful nature and willingness to bring levity during any stressful situation, and she quickly learned how protective he was of the people he loved. Cory came to appreciate her patience, her loving nature, and ability to organize and plan. And they both found a perfect match in their mutual love of animals, especially their puppy Golden Retriever Bella. But as with many things in life, the journey they embarked on had many twists and turns. For several years they had to maintain their relationship over long-distance, with Alisha studying abroad in Ireland and doing grad school in Wisconsin. While the distance tested their love and self-sacrifice, it also strengthened and refined their friendship and convinced them they could endure through any future challenge. Join us in celebrating this beautiful wedding day celebration at Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula, CA.

Together on the Crazy Roller-Coaster of Life

Sophia + Hector's Elopement Wedding in Wildomar, CA

COVID has thrown so many weddings out of wack this year, forcing couples to cancel, reschedule, or dramatically alter their wedding plans. In Hector and Sophia’s case, this meant shifting from a big party wedding in Ventura to a small elopement with family and friends in Temecula. But fear not - their big celebration event will still be happening later this year, circumstances permitting, and we can’t wait to share both parts of their wedding with you! Here’s a sneak peak of their beautiful elopement, and stay tuned for more of their story to come.

Hiking is Good for the Soul

Yucaipa Cinematic Hiking Film | Shot on iPhone XR + DJI Mavic 2 Pro

If this year has taught me anything, it's the importance of self-care. Take time to separate from work, from home, from any sources of stress and anxiety. One key way to do this is enjoying nature and the outdoors. Not only does this expose you to fresh air and sunshine, but the activity and beautiful surroundings can fill you with inspiration and provide a creative outlet for self-expression. In my case, I wanted to test myself and see if I could create a film capturing this experience with just a phone and a drone. Here is the result. Shoutout to Kraig Adams for always inspiring through his cinematic hiking films.
