Our inspiration for picking up the camera has and always will be our couples. Katrina and I have been fortunate enough to not only have these people accept us to document the most important day of their lives, but also to accept us to be their friends and family. Your stories are our life.

Brandon started his photography career in college when he joined the school newspaper. A passion for capturing real moments and telling the story led him to become the photography editor and win several awards for his coverage within only a year. Shortly afterwards he began shooting weddings with Katrina using this same style. The rest is history.

When Hannah and James suggested that Brandon and I go up north to Monterey for their engagement shoot, we were more than excited. Our first stop was on top of Monterey’s beautiful cliffs, where James proposed to Hannah by having her decode a message he spray painted on the rocks that was a variation of “Will you marry me?”

Little did we know that we were in for a little adventure. When the four of us finally reached the proposal site, we encountered some of the strongest winds we’ve ever experienced! Our cameras were literally lifting out of our hands all while at the edge of a very high vantage point, which wasn’t good for Brandon who has a big fear of heights.

Despite the crazy weather, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful spot to photograph. We drove through Monterey’s cliffs, toured a gorgeous seaside, and ended the night with dinner and drinks in Cannery Row. Although it was only a two day trip, we soon knew that we had gained two beautiful new friends. Hannah and James, we can’t wait until your wedding.
