stories you can feel, Films You’ll Keep Forever
Remember what it looked like.
What it sounded like.
What it felt like.
Every couple you see here trusted me to tell their story truthfully. Real people. No overly forced posing, no pretending, just honest, down-to-earth storytelling that captures how the day really feels.
From bike rides to Balboa Island to a lei-draped wedding day in Fullerton, Ashleigh & Luc’s love story is full of prayer, presence, and soul. With Hawaiian traditions, a first touch prayer, a live band, and even a line dancing lesson—this day was a vibrant reflection of their story. A love built in ministry, told with rhythm, and captured with heart.

Set in Hailey’s grandparents’ manor in San Juan Capistrano, this day was elegance meets energy. Ombré florals, chandeliers, a curved aisle, and a live band set the scene—while quiet vows, family history, and a hash brown confession made it unforgettable. Hailey’s first boyfriend became her forever.

Before their wedding day in Costa Mesa, Bethanie and Jason took us back to where it all began—dinner at the brewery where they met, followed by a golden-hour hike above Laguna Beach. Outdoorsy, laid-back, and full of real connection. On the morning of their wedding, they shared private vows overlooking the Newport Back Bay. This is a love that flows with ease and moves with meaning.

Set among the olive trees and cypress-lined views of Falkner Winery, Michelle & Corey’s Temecula wedding had all the charm of an Italian escape. They exchanged sweet letters before the ceremony, danced under the stars, and partied late into the night—proof that some college romances were always meant to last.

Kanani & Mikhalis brought the islands to the city with a Hawaiian-inspired wedding in the heart of downtown LA. Surrounded by plants and glass at Valentine DTLA, their ceremony was filled with faith, worship, and soul. A groomsman played guitar during a worship song mid-ceremony, and every detail felt like a perfect blend of island roots and city rhythm.

Gozde & Harrison’s DTLA wedding was the perfect mix of modern romance and playful fun. They shared their first look on a rooftop overlooking the city, then celebrated under a glass ceiling at Grass Room with arcade games, pinball, and all the plant-filled magic the venue is known for. Stylish, heartfelt, and full of personality—from start to finish.

My husband and I are wedding photographers and we met Kevin from shooting a wedding together. He is so professional and so easy to work with we now recommend him to all our clients. We also had him shoot our 10-year vow renewal and it was the most perfect beautiful day. He captured our love story perfectly and our kids love watching the video over and over again.
