Summer in San Diego is usually a busy time for a wedding photographer and this summer is no exception. Lately, when I’m not photographing my own clients, I can often be found helping out photographer friends with their gigs, as a 2nd shooter. Such was the case back in June, when I second shot for the amazing Helene Cornell. Hanging out with Helene was a blast, the bride and groom were amazing and the venue was beautiful. To top it all off, this was the first wedding I shot 99% IN FILM. Getting these negatives back blew my mind and made me decide to change everything about my photography business. (More on that in my next post.)
For now, some of my favorites from Ellyn + David’s wedding in Encinitas. Reception followed at the Quail Botanical Gardens. All images were shot on the Canon 1V using Fuji’s 400h film, 800Z or Ilford 400 (b&w). All film developed and scanned at North Coast Photographic Services in Carlsbad, CA.
2nd Shooting for Helene Cornell Photography.

Laura + Josh are rad. There is no other way to say it. You may remember them from their engagement session and family session with their son, Johnny. But it wasn’t until their wedding that I really understood the depth of their connection. Every wedding I’ve ever attended is buzzing with a kind of nervous energy… every wedding but Josh + Laura’s. Instead, it was like attending a family get-together. It was comfortable and homey, like a favorite pair of jeans. The shared history of family and friends and a fierce love for each other and their son was a blessing to be a part of. Plus, Laura made Josh the coolest groom ever when she gifted him with a record player. Vinyl is still the superior means of listening to music.
Venue: Marina Village, San Diego, CA
Thanks to Helene Cornell for second shooting with me. You are made of awesome!
A few of my favorites…

















Thank you, Laura + Josh, for inviting me to be a part of your celebration. I loved every minute of it… Best wishes to you for a lifetime of blissful joy, many more babies, and future happy hours at Lahainas with no rain. ![]()

I was so honored to be the photographer at Sarah + Eric’s wedding today. I am a better person after getting to know them and their families. Sarah + Eric leave for their honeymoon tomorrow, so I had to get these up ASAP in order to send them off with a few of my favorite images.


Congratulations on your marriage and best wishes for forever happiness. Have fun on your honeymoon!
