Yosemite National Park is my all-time favorite location for any photography session. Glacier Point at sunrise? It’s just the cherry on top. Sure getting up at 1 am to drive from Hanford isn’t pretty but the view and lack of crowds make it worth it. I was so excited when Dani approached me and suggested […]

They are sweet as can be, quirky, adorable, they LOVE Disney (Kristina is basically a real-life Disney Princess), a bit nerdy (like me), and they were getting married in Yosemite. I could not […]

Diego and Jessi got married at the beautiful Chapel on the Hill just outside of Paso Robles in Shandon. This gorgeous Chapel sits up top a hill (hence the name) looking over picture-perfect vineyards and rolling golden hills. There is a small winding road that leads up to the back of the church and a walkway that leads you through the vineyards and up the hill towards the Chapel. I think you would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful location for a Chapel in California.
