Nora & Phil’s Gardener Ranch wedding in Carmel Valley, California
I met Nora & Phil for their engagement photos in the winter of 2020. I don’t know that I’ve ever thought someone was so genuinely sweet and kind as the two of them within 20 min of our hike. It was hard to wait a year for their Gardener Ranch Wedding and the celebration of their wedding day. Gardener Ranch may be one of my all time favorite wedding venues. It is beautiful from every angle with limitless backdrops to photograph and then throw in some epic fall color and the to die for California coastal sunset light and I was in heaven.
This is 40! What a fun last year I had in my 30’s. Thankfully it doesn’t feel like I’m that age and I still love what I do for a living! This year I traveled a lot for work and for fun. It included trips to Lake Tahoe, Dallas, Santa Cruz twice, the Washington Coast, Denver, the Oregon Coast twice, and LA. I also had my photo on the cover of High Desert weddings and it’s fun to see it all around town. It was such an honor to document all the weddings, portraits and events I had. I have just a few last things to edit from the year and will enjoy the holidays before weddings start again in January! I am looking forward to what 40 has in store for me! A big thank you to all my second photographer who grabbed these BTS shots of me working!...
Some favorite video moments from @kristinnconroy & @eoin_conroy14’s welcome party. They had a western night at Elkatraz speakeasy at Pole Creek Ranch to welcome their guests and start the celebrations.
