Intentional, Heartfelt
IMAGERY

Let’s capture your love at it’s most beautiful.

The hugs, the ugly crying, the teary eyes and quivering lips, laughter, the anticipation right before a first kiss, crazy faces at the dance floor, the parents looking at their babies all grown up, the just married excitement, holding each other’s hands… all the goodness.

I've been photographing weddings since 2015, and if there's something I have learned, it is that photographs and video are some of the only things we hang on to even when life changes. 

My hope for you is that one day you get to pause for a moment, look at your photos or watch your wedding film, and feel all the love, see yourselves all young, see the people that were a part of that chapter in life, and cherish those moments all over again.

If this is what you're looking for, I think we'll be a good fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Before the wedding: Instead of being a random vendor showing up to one of the most important days of your life, I love to get to know you. We’ll be communicating via email, text, FaceTime, etc. Whatever feels more comfortable to you. I will send a couple questionnaires over that will help us to have a great idea of what’s most important to you, what will be going on (timeline), and what are the closest people to you in the wedding.

    During the wedding: I/ we show up and capture things as they happen. Nothing will be forced and of course we will help by directing people during family formals and/or during other moments, but our approach is to give you the realness of your day in photos and video

    After the wedding: You’ll have all the deliverables (photos and/or videos) no later than 8 weeks after your wedding and you’ll cry happy tears every time you see them and show your friends and family.

  • My work has been described by past clients as: HONEST, HEARTFELT, EMOTIONAL, DOCUMENTARY, CANDID AND WARM, and of course, FILMY.

    I am a hybrid photographer (digital and film) and I am here for the natural and spontaneous looking photos, so instead of posing you and telling you what to do with each part of your body, I do my best to make you focus on your partner and what’s around you. My goal is that when you see your photos, you see YOU. Your real laughter, real hugs and kisses, lots of candid moments.

    As far as editing goes, I tend to like warm tones. I enjoy full and clean color, and I keep it as true as we had it, meaning, if there are clouds, you'll have some awesome cloud photos. if there is rain, you'll have amazing rain photos. You can definitely go see more here on my website or go to my insta and take a look.

    I am in love with film and I have found that people tend to like it better as well. There’s something about it that makes you feel some sort of nostalgia and the colors are always beautiful.

  • It depends, but in short, I will give you photos of every moment I’m hired to cover. You’ll look at the photos and you’ll remember that day from start to end.

    For sessions you get around 50 images.

    For weddings you get around 50-75 photos per hour depending on what’s happening. For example, If it’s an 8 hour wedding you’ll likely get 600+ photos.

    For video, it depends on what package you choose.

  • For sessions, you’ll get your photos back in 2 weeks.

    For weddings you’ll get your deliverables no later than 8 weeks after your wedding.

  • I do! Travel fees apply outside of Southern California

    THERE ARE NO TRAVEL FEES FOR THE FOLLOWING PLACES: Southern California, Reno/ Tahoe, Las Vegas, Monterrey, Tijuana.

  • No. I only deliver finished jobs. Editing is part of my service, so giving you something unedited is like giving you something unfinished. I promise you, you’ll get all you need. Big enough to print, and small enough to post on insta.

  • You can totally add a second shooter for an extra fee and I 100% recommended it. Although you will see me running from one place to another to cover all angles of your session or wedding, having a second shooter helps cover moments simultaneously. Imagine having both reactions as you walk down the aisle, for example. One person focuses on the person at the altar and the other one focuses on the person walking down the aisle.

    The 2nd shooter that will come to cover your wedding is a trusted photographer/videographer friend of mine and I’ve worked with them previously.

  • I capture who you are and that is what I deliver. Your true, gorgeous self. In other words, I will not photoshop you beyond color correction.

  • All deposits are non refundable. This is because when you book a session or wedding and other inquiries come in for that date, I turn them away. I will definitely work with you to move it to a different date if you need so as long as that date is available.

    If a crazy emergency happens on my end, I will do my best to have your event covered by someone in my team, and if I absolutely cannot find anyone, I’d give you a 100% or partial refund.

  • 1. Go here, Fill out the questionnaire and we'll go from there. Or you can shoot me an email here.

    2. We’ll start talking about all things wedding and I’ll send you everything to make it official.

    For Sessions, you give a 50% of the final cost to schedule and the other 50% is due 3 days before the session.

    For Weddings, you give $1000 dlls as a retainer and we schedule the rest of your payments spaced out from the moment you book til a week before the wedding. Couples usually choose to have 2-4 payments.
