A mix of hip with a mix of elegance, two worlds that a few years ago would have probably not mixed very well, but here we have Sam & Clelia with their very unique touch to life. The Seversky Mansion, located in the heart of Long Island was once the summer home to the DuPont Family, but on this special day it was the birth of a beautiful new marriage. Samuel's warm heart reflected that Orange County vibe, which is his hometown. Clelia, a brave Italian gal who's heart had nothing but love for her future husband. It was a pleasure to be able to capture their special day, not only that but to feel as if I was part of their family! Thank you guys for being so amazing, and holding God really close to your heart.
Christian & Imelda decided to venture into the North Cascades, not only for just another hiking trip, but for the trip of a lifetime. Hiking 4 miles up to Lake 22, with beautiful views of the Colombia river alongside Granite Falls. Not only was it a beautiful hike, but the moment Christian decided to surprise Imelda with a proposal was the most magical moment in the mountain.
Italian love found in the heart of Tennessee, hidden in the Smoky Mountains, and grown in the hills of Chattanooga. Such a vibrant, pure, kind, and true love is how I would discribe this wonderful couple; with a love for God above all, they found each other in the enchantment of long distance love.
Such a beautiful and enchanting engagement session in Alabama Hills, California. A few miles from Mammoth Lake, and a couple of hours from Los Angeles we found this beautiful place, with a magic feeling and scenery from a distant planet. Eddie & Natasha found love in one of the most beautiful places I've ever photographed.
Andrea & Leo's Chattanooga Engagement session was literally a cloudy day turned into a magical evening. Some rainy clouds had rolled over Chattanooga that day, and we were afraid some bad weather would approached. But as soon as we started our session the skies cleared up and the sun was shining right over us, creating the most beautiful sunset I have ever photographed over Coolidge Park in Downtown Chattanooga.
Elena & Alonso, a golden and timeless couple! Their elopement at the Pearl District Building brings us some amazing vibes, with classic decor, yet keeping it modern with subtle touches around their decoration. Located in the heart of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Pearl District Building was the perfect setting for their small wedding.
Beautiful Bride. Gorgeous Venue. Happy Families. Classic Midwest Town. Such an honor to attend Jacob & Jaime's wedding at Sparrow Beginnings in Stillwater, Oklahoma (www.sparrowbeginnings.com). Have you ever attended a wedding where you just want to cry of happiness at the turn of every hour? Well their wedding was this, such an emotional and unique event. Both families were filled with such joy and love for the couple, that even I, the photographer, could feel it.
Such a beautiful moment, when a couple chooses to use their backyard at their new home to hold their wedding. Amanda & John worked together to put together the wedding of their dreams, all in their beautiful backyard in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. I couldn't believe the details and all the craftsmanship that went into this beautiful wedding. The unique flowers bouquets, the horses that joined us during our photo session, the hand crafted tables, and all the beautiful lighting. It was definitely a wedding to remember.
I hope you enjoy this beatiful gallery.
Walking down the boardwalk, watching the surfers, the graffiti, a few street performers, some palm trees, hear the beach waves, and experience a beautiful couple. David and Bianca, a young couple that just filled the Venice Beach streets with their love, their charm, and beauty. I loved their young spirit,their energy; such a positive couple with millions of dreams for the future.
"I knew exactly what I wanted" - Bianca; words that I will never forget, words that can teach us a lot from a young bride who put together her bouquet with her own hands, a bride that dreamt of making this day the perfect day. If you can handmade your bouquet, you can build anything you want in life.
Can you believe that this is just a preview of Erika's beautiful Quinceañera to come? Yeah, I can't believe it either! She is such a beautiful soul, always so happy and positive!

I got the opportunity to work with the Harwelden Mansion, which is one of Tulsa's best wedding venues for this beautiful bridal event. It was by far one of the most amazing and beautiful wedding events I have attended, everything was so perfect, as if it was brought out of a magazine or a dream. The beautiful flowers by Katie at Anthousai, the amazing cake by Rachel at FlouredRoses, and the beautiful table by WestElm of Tulsa; it was the perfect combination for this day!
A beautiful autumn day in the suburbs of Oklahoma City calls for a bridal shoot. I got together with several vendors from across the Oklahoma City area to put together this beautiful bridal shoot with Emily, one of my favorite people in the world!
Celebrating summer 2016 with a fun olympic shoot! We decided to cheer on Team USA all the way from our backyard with this awesome shoot. Thanks to Clara Ard from Brink Models for coming out and making this shoot possible. Enjoy.
In this session we time traveled a few decades back, we went retro to the golden days of the 70's. I teamed up with the amazing people at Urban Outfitters to produce this beautiful session titled "Urban 70's".
We went out to one of our favorite local burger shacks found in Midtown Tulsa, if you know the area you know we are talking about Freddie's Hamburgers. This shack has been here since the early 60's, it has seen Tulsa transform into the beauty that it is now. It also holds part to a timeless movie that was filmed in Tulsa, The Outsiders. This just added so much rich history and beauty to our photo session. The beautiful 1964 Ford Thunderbird that we got to borrow was definitely the cherry on top for this images, and it added a very exotic touch to it all. This is a mix of digital and film images.
A beautiful collection put together by Reagan at Velvet River.
