Ready to capture your unique love story in NorCal and Beyond

For the madly in love

For the sunset-loving, adventuring-seeking, wildly in love! I’m so freaking excited to work with you!

These are more than just photographs. They are your memories. They are your milestones. You will show these to your children one day. My goal is for you to look back on your photos and be able to remember those in-between moments, relive that special day, and look back at the moments that make you wish you could stop time. 

If you are ready to put on your favorite playlist, show a lot of PDA, and go along with my silly prompts then we NEED to connect!!

Frequently Asked Questions

We feel awkward in front of the camera, do you help with posing?

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one! Most people feel this way and it’s totally normal! I like to give prompts and activities that promote natural movement. This gets you interacting with others in the session and also takes your mind off of the camera. The more you can concentrate on each other, then the more comfortable you will feel and forget that my camera is even staring at you. 
Don’t be afraid to let loose and get silly during your session. Natural interaction photographs so well and tells a much better story.

WHY SHOULD WE ELOPE?

If you are wanting a more intimate celebration for your wedding day, an elopement might be for you! And no, you don’t have to go to the courthouse. Elopements allow you to throw traditions out the window, bend the rules, relieve some stress of planning, and truly focus on just the two of you. 

It doesn’t have to be at some epic location either, though I’m always down to travel and explore with my clients! Your elopement can be on the beach, in your backyard, at your first date location, your favorite place to spend time together, or anywhere in between. The possibilities are endless and I’m always here to get creative and help dream up your perfect day with you!

WHY DO YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PACKAGE FOR A WEDDING DAY?

I believe that every couple deserves to have the very best on their wedding day. My all inclusive package was designed for just that. It allows me to capture everything on this day…you and your honey getting ready, all the small details that you and your vendors worked so hard to put together, all the in between moments that may not seem important, but you will love looking back at them throughout the gallery. You two dancing the night away with all your favorite people.

Usually with a 4 or 6 hour package, you are going to be missing out on something, either those getting ready details in the beginning of your day, or the epic moves on the dance floor and enjoying drinks with your guests. 

Your entire day deserves to be documented so you can preserve those special memories, not just to capture the formal moments, but the day in its entirety as it naturally occurs.

WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT OUR GALLERY?

I’m always striving to not overbook myself. Having balance between my personal life and business is very important to me, plus serving my clients to the best of my ability is crucial. 
For regular sessions I quote 2-3 weeks for a turnaround time to give myself grace during busy season. But in most cases, galleries are returned much quicker than that.
I have been on the photography client side before, and no one wants to wait a long time to receive their photos. Nor do I want to hold on to your photos as the photographer. I would much rather get your photos to you ASAP (without compromising quality, of course) so you can start enjoying them right away.

Weddings are typically around 6-8 weeks, but these are also returned in a timely fashion when possible.

WHY IS PHOTOGRAPHY AN INVESTMENT?

You are paying for the experience and customer service. I walk my clients through the whole process from the inquiry to booking to gallery delivery. We will talk about your vision for your session. I will take the time to get to know you both to ensure we are incorporating elements that speak to you and showcase your relationship. We will plan the location, and outfits and color schemes together. I’m always here to offer suggestions if needed.

You are paying for the expert knowledge in: 
Location choices
Best time of day for shooting
Getting creative if that’s your thing
Offering advice
Having a back up plan for weather
Being able to bring out the raw emotion in your photos
Producing high quality work that you will love for years to come

This is the same if you are hiring me to capture your wedding day. But in addition, I gather all the nitty gritty details of your day through a questionnaire, I offer timeline assistance from a photographers stand point and set out realistic expectations when it comes to photos, I make sure to communicate with other vendors when needed to contribute to you having a seamless day, and I am SO ready to be your hype woman, bouquet holder, drink fetcher, and dance partner on your special day!
