It was not your ordinary grey and cloudy Oregon coast type of day. On the contrary, this time, the most beautiful coastline awarded us with plenty of sunshine to paint magenta shades for this Cannon Beach bridal inspiration sunset session. It was kind of surreal to actually see this iconic place in person.

You would never know that this French inspired wedding from A to Z was planned by the bride herself! Ashton is an amazing wedding planner and when she contacted me and asked me to be her and Michael’s Lake Tahoe wedding photographer, I could only say – yes please! With a little help from The Chateau at Incline Village wedding venue, a mesmerizing sunset and smiles all around throughout the day, this wedding was everything Ashton and Michael had hoped for and more!

I’ve always been inspired by my travels to Mediterranean countries, that holds a special place in my heart. Napa Valley is undeniable California’s Italy, Spain, Croatia…There is no better way to bring Mediterranean vibes to the photo session, than to use olive trees, a symbol of their culture, as a background. If only it would grow in Tahoe!

This Joshua Tree engagement photoshoot was all about celebrating love story with the back drop of desert vibes. Sunset was just a bonus.
