If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that I had a color palette for my bachelorette. If you missed it, click here. So naturally, KSOLE and I created a color palette for our wedding as well. As photographers, we know the importance of what colors can do for a photo, especially against certain backdrops so we wanted to make sure that our pictures came out exactly how we wanted.

If there’s one thing I want to be guaranteed on my wedding day, it is for my peace to be protected throughout the entire day and for my morning to be calm and collective. I am proud to say that all the above were checked off and here are 5 ways you can create a calm and peaceful wedding morning too.

Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is the perfect place for any bride that is unconventional and prefers to stay lowkey for her bachelorette.

For the brides-to-be who want to skip the partying and prefers adventure and self-care activities instead, this one is for you.

When your love language is gift giving so you spoil your closest girlfriends with the best and most self-care goody bag, except instead of a regular bag, it’s a custom duffle bag for them to take to my bachelorette trip. Why not spoil the ones who have supported you the most through your relationship?

What do you get when you put 2 photographers together in a relationship? A creative couple that trusted their tripod to capture their engagement photos during their engagement moon in Montreal. How do you think the tripod did?

They say that you should enjoy your engagement as much as possible, so we decided to sneak away to Montreal for an Engagement Moon. The only regret we have is that we wish we extended our trip a little longer because we absolutely fell in love with Montreal.

Since starting my hair journey with Hair Food a year ago, I’ve noticed a change in how my hair feels whenever I run my hands through it to how it feels overall on my head. My hair is softer and looks healthier, which I’ve gotten compliments on. I get asked about what I’m using now because my hair shines, even days after I wash it and even my fiance notices now.

I knew who I wanted to be my Matron of Honor years ago so the minute our engagement happened, I started planning my proposal to my best friend, Shoshanna. Since I wanted a more personalized gift, I decided to put together a basket of her favorite things instead of opting for ready-to-gift boxes that are extremely popular.

It’s been a little over a month since KSOLE popped the question and it’s already been a whirlwind of emotions, as we start planning for our elopement, tea ceremony, and party. Yes, three separate events, happening at three separate times! But more on all the planning and events later. Let’s share the engagement story…

Celebrated my fiance’s sister over the weekend with a Cabo-inspired bridal shower, hosted in the backyard of a beautiful Los Angeles home. From the tablescape to the landscape, this tropical bridal shower was filled with good vibes, unlimited tacos and mimosas, and the most delicious dessert table. Best of all, this event was all done by our friends!

With the heat increasing in LA lately, I’ve been finding myself styling my hair less with heat tools and relying more on my hair care routine for easy, no fuss, on-the-go hair.
