surprise: linda and andy elopement, los olivos, ca
its always an honor to shoot a friends wedding and this one was so intimate and moving that they had me thinking about love the rest of the day. . .
to quote the announcement “it was a simple ceremony for two, just the way they wanted it”
for anyone who questions if a big wedding is for them, i really feel like this is the way its supposed to be . . .
LOVE these pictures, but what I love more than anything is the joy I see on their faces. So happy for the two of you!!!
These are completely amazing… as is the couple. I love what you have captured!
was an amazing day . . . the way it should be . . .
You photography is amazing! I feel like you just captured the day beautifully. In the last photo, the background seems painted…simply beautiful! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Bruininga!
Congrats to you both. The images capture the love that is so evident. Love the seemingly candid shots that show true emotion.
It was such a pleasure to work with Jen. I am honored that she accepted to part take in our surprise and all the help she offered before, during and after has been truly amazing. Jen captured the day perfectly and I cannot thank her enough. Perfection.

These pictures looks amzing. I go there all the time, and have eaten several of those dishes. Way to capture them!
Such beautiful pictures of our dishes & ales! They’ll inspire so many people to join the craft beer & local food movements. Thank you, Jennifer!
Lily and Brian featured on Style Me Pretty
I had to keep this, one of my fave weddings of the year under wraps, until this feature. I’m excited to share it now!
Lily is the daughter of one of my favorite authors and it with complete reverence and honor that i wandered his home and backyard and shot lily and brian’s beautiful wedding. Thank you to Steph for flying out and helping on this one and a great weekend in New York.
Meet you in Montauk . . .
I hope Quinto the Monster is having a great weekend. Be careful, he eats EVERYTHING in the refrigerator. He clearly loves the camera. Not shy at all. Quinto knows that cookies and cupcakes DO NOT JUDGE.
