because your memories matter...
Every love story, and every wedding day is so different and that’s why I will never put your wedding day in a formulated box. I ask real questions and listen closely so I can give you something that actually reflects who you are. What are you afraid of forgetting? What do you want to feel when you look back in ten years? I’m here for the honest parts. The quiet ones, the unexpected ones, the ones that make you stop and remember why this day mattered. After your marriage, your wedding photos/videos are all you take home after your wedding day and its why I do not take this job lightely.
If you feel like we are a match, I'd love to document your wedding day! Hop on over to my contact page, and inquire with me to steal your date! From there, I ask that you give me a grace period of 24-48 hours to respond to your inquiry. After we've chatted about a package that is perfect for what you envision for your day, I will send over your proposal. From there, a retainer is required, in addition to a signed proposal, to save your date. If you're inquiring about a wedding, after your retainer has been paid we can plan your engagement session. It's my hope, that I can make the booking process as smooth as possible for you!
It's time to run around and celebrate your love!! My biggest advice: skip the drooling over Pinterest (I do it too, believe me), and think about places that feel special to you and your love. Don't be afraid to use locations like your favorite bar in downtown San Diego or even Disneyland in your engagement session. Wherever we explore, let's have fun. We'll play a playlist you've handpicked and I’ll skip the stiff poses, and invite you into moments that feel like you and guide you from there.
Whether you are booking me for a traditional wedding, a quiet elopement, or literally whatever makes you and your partner happy I want you to know one important thing. I GOTCHU.
The way I document your day is centered around your vision for your day. How do you envision your wedding day feeling? How can I serve that vision best? With my background in photojournalism, I can step back and capture your day more organically in true documentary style. On the flip side, after documenting 200+ wedding days, I can also be there to give you more guided experience and give direction where it’s needed. Either way is the right way if it feels right to you. I'm here to listen to your needs, giving guidance, using my big girl voice to rein in the family during portraits, and being present with you throughout all the little chaotic moments to all the overwhelmingly exciting moments.
From helping you pick out your engagement session outfits, to helping mom fix your dress, to dancing the night away with your bffs… I am here for YOU and I want to document it all - from the big moments, to the quiet moments, and all of the in-between moments that you had no idea I was paying attention to. I'll send you a wedding guide that I've carefully put together to help make wedding planning feel a little less stressful - from helping you location scout to making suggestions for your wedding timeline, I GOTCHUUU.
After the big day, expect sneak peeks within 24-48 hours, and the full gallery delivered online within 10-12 weeks.
Bachelorette parties are forever some of my favorite things to document! I know you're taking a break from the stress that is wedding planning so put your phone down and let me capture you and your best pals in this special moment of your lives... the moments you'll maybe one day tell each others kids about. Let's blast your fave music, drink a lil booze, get dressed up, or make a splash in the pool. If you're someone who wants to take pics in matching jammies and then make an outfit change into cute bathing suits, then I recommend booking me for the morning before anyone has had too much to drink! If you're someone who wants pics of you and your babes all dressed up before a night out on the town, then I recommend booking for about an hour before sunset.
Whether we're staying by the pool for a Palm Springs Bachelorette, dancing our way through downtown San Diego, or hitting the snowy slopes in Lake Tahoe... I'M THERE! I love being a Bachelorette Photographer!
While capturing love stories is my specialty, my background in journalism has reminded me that all moments in life are so incredibly special and unique and they deserve to be captured as authentically as possible.
Whether you are about to graduate, about to welcome a new babe to the family, wanting to document your family in its current stage of life, or have another special moment you are wanting to have captured I cannot wait to get to know more about your story!
I want you to look back on these pictures in 5-10 years and feel like you’ve been transported back to that day - can you feel the emotion? Do you remember how your five-year-old wanted to show you every bug under the sun? This is what it's all about. Forget about your kids having their hair in the right place, or even their shoes on... LET'S EMBRACE these moments together. Let's celebrate your upcoming graduation and giggle about all of the exciting dreams and goals you have set for yourself.
Come as you are. Let's chat today!
