Hi, I'm Andrea — a wedding and destination photographer known for light-filled images, timeless edits, and the kind of warm, calming presence that puts everyone at ease the moment I walk in the room.
My love for photography started overseas, when I picked up a camera in Germany and realized I never wanted to put it down. Since then, I've built a career chasing light, color, and emotion — and capturing the kind of moments that stay with you long after the day is done.
There are some weddings that feel less like events and more like true celebrations of love, life, and family. Megan and Arthur’s wedding day at Rancho de Las Palmas in Moorpark, California was exactly that. From the moment I first connected with these two on a FaceTime call, I just knew this was going to be such a special journey.
The Luxmore Grande Estate itself is stunning: a private southern-inspired mansion with soaring columns, a sweeping staircase, and timeless charm that immediately sets the tone for classic and elegant celebrations.
One of the things I loved most about this engagement session was how present Mary Margaret and Owen were with each other. It can be easy to get caught up in the details of a photo session—wondering how you look, if you’re standing the right way, or if your smile feels natural—but these two simply let themselves be.
These two sample timelines (one with a first look, one without) will help you visualize the flow of your day — so you can make the decision that feels right for you.
