It’s about the journey, not the destination. Valid. But California has some pretty epic locations to explore—here are a few of our favorites:

FINDING BEAUTY IN CALIFORNIA

— Melanie + Daniel Yi

“Sam and Allen captured my engagement and wedding day, and I had confidence I would not be disappointed. I am always amazed by the outcome, and everyone is always so impressed by how they maximized the setting to make each snapshot absolutely magical. Not only are they extremely talented, but they have so much passion and love that it just brings an amazing energy to ensure the whole project is an enjoyable experience. I can’t thank them enough and feel so blessed to have met such amazing people. Book Sam and Allen early to ensure you have them to capture your special day!”

“Sam and Allen go above and beyond to make sure they get the perfect setting for you on your special project.”

— Anthia M.

“I cannot say enough about how amazing Sam and Allen are. From the second I wrote them about our plans, Sam was attentive and extremely helpful. She and Allen know and love Yosemite, which made our choice that much easier and more special. They were as excited about our elopement plans as we were!! The photos literally take my breath away. I can’t recommend them enough. Of course, as photographers, but also as people. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, Sam and Allen, for helping make our most special day perfect and for the beautiful photos we will cherish forever.”

“Sam and Allen wore so many hats during the day and truly made our dream elopement come to life.”

— Dani P.

“Sam and Allen made our engagement shoot adventure in Mammoth the MOST magical experience. We will truly remember how beautiful and fun it was for the rest of our lives. Sam told us exactly what to do and made us feel so truly beautiful. She is a true artist in every way. Sam and Allen are a crazy, amazing team! The way they communicate and work together is its own kind of magic. Not to mention, they are seriously the most chill and fun people to hang out with! I can’t WAIT to see what they do for our wedding, and the best part is I have no stress knowing we are in the best hands.”

“Sam and Allen have an amazing gift to be able to touch people by making them feel truly beautiful and themselves.”
