Portola Inn Wedding in California | Documentary Wedding Photography
 

Hannah and Spenser planned a quick coffee date that somehow turned into a four hour conversation. Somewhere between talking about life and laughing nonstop, that simple meet up became the beginning of their story, and now here we are at their wedding.

From the very beginning, they were so easy and fun to be around. Every conversation leading up to the wedding ended with all of us laughing. Hannah is thoughtful, driven, and loves having a plan. Spenser is calm, grounded, and brings an instant sense of ease into every moment. Together, they create a steady and supportive balance that feels incredibly natural.

They are happiest while taking road trips, spending time outdoors, or staying home with records playing while the night moves slowly. Their wedding at Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay reflected that same feeling throughout the entire day. The celebration felt joyful, emotional, and deeply personal, surrounded by the friends and family who know and love them best.

As documentary wedding photographers, these are the stories we love capturing. Real connection, genuine laughter, and moments that unfold naturally always tell the strongest story. This is what makes documentary wedding photography so meaningful because every image preserves not only how the day looked, but also how it truly felt.

Hannah and Spenser, thank you for trusting us to document your wedding day. It was such an honor to witness your love and the beautiful community surrounding you.

Wayfarers Chapel and La Venta Inn Wedding - Candace + Sean

We know, in life, people come and go; it's only normal. But if it's not death-related, you can put efforts to keep certain ones in your life. Though I admit it; I'm not that great when it comes to "hanging out" with people I like as I have a weird anti-social tendency sometimes, I'll try to make time for Candace and Sean to slurp some ramen together. This happy couple makes me so happy every time. They make inappropriate jokes that I love. They give me good advice when I need it and love noodle soups as much as I do - or at least they let me believe so. Candace's mom wanted to "adopt" me after their wedding and take me to Texas (where she lives) on occasions; she sent me healing energy when I got into a car accident. Sean shared his "not-so-secret" turkey recipe for Thanksgiving, and that is the only recipe I'll ever use.

The funny thing is that Candace and Sean were complete strangers who simply wanted an engagement photo session with me at first. It's unbelievable where life takes you to and how much it gives you. I'm so so thankful that I got to preserve their memories of the happiest-day-ever this summer. 

Ahhhhh... Can you overdose on happiness? <3
