The JOURNAL

I’ve had the opportunity to photograph the Gamboa family throughout the last 5 years and each year, it’s fun seeing how everyone has grown and changed. Well this year, Anna is a Highschool senior! Whaaat?!! She requested a “Victoria Beckham” inspired senior portrait shoot in and around Rancho Santa Fe… and that’s just what we […]

Nick and Lisa’s wedding was blissfully relaxed and meaningful. Planning such an intimate destination wedding allowed them to be intentional down to the very littlest detail and I loved every second of it! Despite the weather being hotter than Hades, these Arizonians barely noticed… partially due to their naturally warm home environment, but mostly due to how […]

Does my hair look okay? Yes. Is my makeup on? Yes. Camera gear packed and ready to go? Yes. Coffee? Yes. I mentally went through my pre-wedding check list as we drove onto the freeway en route to Curtis and Brooke’s downtown Los Angeles wedding. John Legend’s “All of Me” – Tiesto’s Birthday Treatment Remix […]

Wil’s the business savvy and charismatic type, a thoughtful kind of man who is passionate and driven. Jessica’s the quiet beauty with grace and unassuming business smarts, the sweetest kind of woman that wins your heart in a second. They met, became friends, realized their feelings for one another had grown, dated for a while, […]

Every year, Christopher and I have the privilege of joining our friend and actor Ernie Castelo at the Pageant of the Masters Media Preview Night at the beginning of June. The Festival of the Arts in Laguna beach is a world renowned collection of artists celebrating art in all its forms all summer long right […]

Everything about Travis and Ana’s Lincourt Winery wedding was gorgeous.  Ana’s personal touch was in every little thing and I couldn’t have been a happier camper photographing it all. It was a very laid back and relaxing day, surprisingly, for a wedding day. When my team and I arrived, it felt like a family get-to-gether was happening in […]

“There are so many fish in the sea, and yet where I live, there’s just nobody for me!”, groaned the post college 21-30 age bracket of America. Finding the love of your life is no walk in the park for most, but I suppose that’s why we celebrate so hard and cheer so loudly when […]

A few weeks ago I traveled up to Santa Ynez to photograph these two lovebirds as they tied the knot, but I realized this week that I didn’t have a chance to blog their amazing Pasadena Engagement Photos! Ana grew up in South Pasadena and many of her fond childhood memories took place near old […]

This season of the year has been a busy one full of weddings, portrait shoots, new Kate Noelle Photography team members, travels, graduations, and big decisions. Lately, I’ve been everywhere else except this blog, but I’m excited to have a little bit of time in the coming weeks to sit and catch you all up on the […]

Their love story began at a rock climbing gym. Erin was climbing and as every lovely lady does at some point or another in her life, she fell. Only this time, Matt was there to sweep her off her feet (and hurt ankle) and save the day. Friends and family spoke for days about how […]
