On a beautiful partly cloudy afternoon in the middle of January, Jaimee and Trace got married on a hillside in Malibu at an Airbnb that once belonged to one of the Backstreet Boys, oh nothing…..

When I first spoke to Jaimee, she told me they were planning a small elopement with twelve of their closest family members. Being from Wisconsin, they wanted to go somewhere with warmer weather for that time of year, so why not Malibu. I was so happy that this was my first shoot of 2022! There is something about elopements and intimate weddings that I love to capture, and this was such an amazing day.

We started off with some getting ready and a first look with Jaimee’s dad before the ceremony. After Jaimee and Trace said their “I Do’s”, we set off on a hike up the hills next to the property for some amazing ocean views and Los Angeles, which painted the perfect backdrop for some beautiful photos with the newlyweds. After we headed back for the reception events and dinner. It was such a fun day with the family; they were all so nice and welcoming and a joy to be around. Congratulations you two!
