I loved my time with Destiny and Blake! We shot their Ventura anniversary photography session at Arroyo Verde Park while they were in town for the weekend. The timing was perfect as it was just ahead of their two-year dating anniversary!

Before diving into a session, I always let my couples know that they should just enjoy themselves and relax because I make sure I give tons of guidance and prompts to ease them through the shoot. But truthfully, Blake & Destiny didn’t need a ton of direction. I gave them prompts and it was like they could read my mind. They flowed so easily between movements and were focused on each other the entire time. The love and chemistry between these two is palpable, and they were so natural in front of the camera.

I couldn’t stop gushing over the way they so seamlessly switched between lighthearted laughter to deeper, intimate, loving vibes. Blake and Destiny’s love runs the gamut of all the best emotions.

Passionate about turning your most heartfelt moments into your legacy of love

When I was first getting to know my husband, Michael's, family, I loved hearing the stories of their marriages— the good times and bad, better and worse, joy as well as sorrow, and always love. But the very first time I saw his grandmother’s collection of family wedding photos perched atop her mantel I had to stop and take in what over 200 years of marriage looked like on display. As I looked on at the images framed on the mantel, immediately all of the stories shared by Michael’s grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins came rushing through my head, and it was so easy to trace them all back to the days they said “I do.” In my role as a wedding photographer, I capture all of the raw emotions of your big day, so when you look back at those images you are reminded of the fullness in your heart and you can see how that first day of marriage created a legacy of love.
