Bryce & Lindsey: sneak peek!

Oh man, a couple weekends ago, Moe & I shot the funnest wedding over in San Juan Capistrano…  I am super stoked that it’s going to be getting a full feature on 100 layer cake on Monday March 15th, and I need to wait until that’s up for me to post the rest of the pics up here. But until then, here’s a little teaser… : )

my interview on the vagabond bond

check it out here. (oh ps: there is one pic that may be NSFW)

The Vagabond Bond is a blog comprised of 11 wanderlust-inspired artists, created by kristy (wrecklesgirl). Srsly the work up there is truly beautiful. I am honored to be in with this crew. Browse the site and tell me it doesn’t make you want to book a ticket to somewhere, anywhere, asap…

And double thanks to the extremely talented & super sweet Amy Seeley for conducting this rad interview!! xo

cabinet of curiosities: ryan, oakland

Another addition to my ongoing art project: shooting people in their natural environments/homes.
(See a couple other shoots I did for this project of Ingrid in SF here, and David Hurley in San Diego here.

This is an old friend of mine, extremely talented musician Ryan Jencks in his warehouse/home in Oakland. He has a fantastic collection of weird oddities and has always had a fine eye for decor. His home is really beautiful & dark… I got a chance to go and visit him when we were in San Francisco a couple months ago and I was really stoked that he was willing to let me shoot. Formerly of Azog, Crash Worship, and Physics, he’s currently involved in several experimental/industrial/noise projects such as Sixes, Preyers, PHT, Carrion, Manslaughter, Deathroes, SR-71 and Summons. Just went to see him play as Sixes the other night here in San Diego at the beginning of his tour. Seriously amazing. He also enjoys fogging the room out so much that you can’t see anything or get any decent photos, but that’s neither here nor there. Here’s Mr. R. Jencks in his natural environment.

‘the notebook’-inspired engagement

Frances is in the Coast Guard, Eunice is a nurse.  They decide to shoot their e-session at the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant… (great food btw). Thanks for the dinner you guys! It was so great to hang out with you. You are both super sweet & beautiful… I cannot wait to shoot your wedding in April! : ) 


They belong in the movies…

seriously, how beautiful are these two?

new life & my little big love

The rains always bring thousands of tiny little new sprouts. This makes me so happy. We have been on this property for 6 months now… our first home, and we love it more and more each day. I get excited to wake up in the morning and see how the property has changed from the day before. There is always something new; whether it’s the Daffodils that magically appeared in the past week… or the progress of my new studio being built in the back (pics coming soon), there is always something that moves me.

Then of course, there is my little big love, Russia. The dark sweet creature who infiltrated these photos. He too enjoys being outside with his mama and following me all around the property. There is no word to describe how peaceful and happy I felt this morning…

To all my beautiful sweet clients and to all the readers and followers of this blog… HAPPY HOLIDAYS. xo Noa























And some ranunculus… just because they’re so pretty.

mad style! matt & marc’s wedding + my new intern

It’s about time I officially introduced you to my new intern/assistant/ 2nd shooter, Moe. He’s shot a few weddings with me so far. He’s amazing. And such a great guy. A couple months ago, he agreed to shoot Matt & Marc’s wedding down here in San Diego for me (ironically, this couple was from San Francisco & I coudn’t shoot it myself because I was IN San Francisco on that date). He did an incredible job!!!

He’s such an insanely talented photographer. Check out his awesome work on his blog here.
How stoked am I? I already got my first 2 prints of his fine art that I am going to frame and hang in my new studio when the remodel is done. Moe and I are traveling a lot next year to shoot weddings all over the place!

So anyway, Moe shot Matt & Marc’s wedding- I did the processing and editing when I got back into town. When he handed me the disc of photos and I started looking through them, I thought there must have been a mix-up. This must have been some GQ shoot that got mixed up with these wedding pics. But no. These two dudes that got married were just hot. And SUPER stylish. For crying out loud, everyone at their wedding was stylish. Hence the title of this post. Plus, Matt & Marc are some of the sweetest people I have ever dealt with. Polite, funny, and just plain rad. <3

Thanks for rocking this Moe!!!

Venue: Rancho Bernardo Courtyard










Right? I mean, seriously. Wow.






I want one of these so bad right now.































And the award for the best outfit ever goes to….. this dude.

MAD STYLE!




















I’m so bummed I missed this wedding…. looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

bridesmaids: no matchy-matchy
