That's the wedding day you deserve - a day that's genuine, that's authentic, that's true to who you are and celebrates the incredible love you share. Let's be honest - wedding and elopement planning can often spiral into a stressful process (even if you're planning for an intimate wedding!) and it's easy to lose sight of what your wedding day is all about. I'm here to root for you both behind the scenes and in front of the scenes, to help you craft a day that focuses on what's most important to you. I believe in capturing memories, not a production. Sure, we all love those beautiful bouquets, and I'm a sucker for macrame (come over to my house and you'll see), but at the heart of it all, I'm here to capture moments in time that, for the smallest 1/250th of a second, capture the magic of your love story. That's why I love to share real life, real love stories - not styled ones of models created for Instagram-worthy content. I'd rather capture a million messy, beautiful, real life moments than one perfectly posed one because face it, your smile will definitely get stiff trying to stay still for that long. So real talk: I’m not here to sell you on me. I’m here to walk you through the process, to see if you and I are a good fit. I’m here to see if I can meet your needs, and if that’s not me, then I’m happy to send you on your merry way. So don't hesitate to reach out because if you don't, you’ll never know! |

Whether you're like me who has a few too many Excel sheets, or more like my husband who prefers to send cute puppy GIFs over planning any day, I've got you. Here's some insight into what the process looks like:
Let's chat! How you met, what you two love to do, what you envision for your wedding day, I want to hear it all! I love hearing about your story and what you're looking for so that we can see if we'd be a good fit together. You only have one wedding day, and you deserve someone who gets you 100%.
Now we plan. Whether you have questions on how to create your timeline, whether you need cake (I'm all for boba, churros, donuts...the options are endless), or ways to make your wedding day special, I can guarantee you that I will be there to help in any way I can. If you're eloping in Big Sur, I'll send over a full planning checklist that goes over everything you need to know, from all the different ceremony sites in every budget to a map of the best hidden gems in the redwoods and on the coast.
The day has finally arrived - celebrate and take it all in. As a candid photographer with a focus on documenting your wedding day authentically, I'll be at the ready to capture all the warm hugs and reunions, the secret smiles and glances between the two of you, the belly laughs with your loved ones. When it comes to portraits, don't worry if you're like 99% of my couples who feel awkward in front of the camera - I'm here to direct and help you feel comfortable, to create a space where you can't help smiling and laughing. At the end of the day, my goal is to deliver a gallery that allows you to relive your day and remember all the memories when you look back years later. |
