Jija + Mike {Holiday Mini Sessions}

Hey there!! Don’t lose that Holiday spirit just yet!! Holiday mini sessions are here! So over the next few weeks I will be updating you on all the wonderful families and couples from this past season. One of my favorites is this one that I took of a couple friends of mine- Jija & Mike. I have known them for a few years but over the past year I started working with Jija a couple days a week at Turquoise. By the way, if you have never eaten there, I strongly suggest you come by and try our food- simply amazing! It is super healthy and of course you can’t beat the service (considering we work there lol). Some of the best people I have met in life have come from working in restaurants (aka Macaroni Grill) and I am super thankful. Jija and Mike are just probably one of the most fun couples I have ever met, you can even see it in the photos how much the genuinely love one another and how much fun they have. They are super athletic, surfing being one of their favorite activities.  We seriously, laughed through the whole session- I mean come on- just look at their outfits hahaha. As a gift I gave some of the couples a free session which I will probably put on the blog later. However, in order to keep that holiday cheer in our hearts I will start with this one first!

Faith and Roman exchanged vows at sunrise with sweeping Tahoe views, a Nothing Bundt Cake, and a full-on lake jump to seal the deal. A romantic and wildly fun elopement you won’t forget.

Katie & Jose’s Tannenbaum wedding was full of heart, golden summer light, and the kind of moments I love most—quiet vows, joyful dancing, and details that felt 100% them.
