Your day deserves to be held with intention.

You have been dreaming of your wedding day, which is almost here! When you think of the day, imagine all the people you love in one place, cherishing and celebrating your entering into the beautiful gift of marriage. How do you want to feel on your wedding day? What do you want to remember? Who do you want there? What do you want to feel in your photographs 10 or 20 years later?

I specialize in multi-day wedding celebrations that capture your whole weekend from start to finish. I custom-tailor my proposals to ensure you receive everything you need to tell the entire story of this season of life. I document whatever you need, from rehearsal dinner to the wedding day to a farewell brunch. I am based in Los Angeles but travel worldwide, so please get in touch so we can learn more about each other and see if we are a great fit!

WHERE MOMENTS MEET ART

Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony on the coast of Italy, a huge party in the desert of Palm Springs, or a beautiful celebration in Los Angeles, I want to make sure you feel loved and supported from start to finish. I am your newest hype woman and best friend. I am here to celebrate with you, fall in love with your people, and capture all of the moments, big and small.

WE CREATE CUSTOM-TAILORED PROPOSALS TO SUIT YOUR WEDDING NEEDS

01 | WEDDINGS

Throughout your wedding weekend, I will capture your big and small moments through my documentary style of photography. My goal is for you to be so present on your wedding day that when you go back through your images, you can throw yourself back into each moment, even seeing moments that you might not have noticed on your wedding day! It is so important to me for you to live in the moment and trust that I am capturing every detail from start to finish.

Base Wedding day collection includes the following:

  • Custom-tailored proposal

  • Coverage starting at 8 hours

  • Online Gallery

    * multi-day coverage available upon request

02 | ELOPEMENTS

For the couple going the non-traditional route for their wedding experience and not needing full coverage. I will document your day for as long as you need me, whether the two of you or your 15 closest people. Elopements take place Monday - Thursday only.

Elopements base collection includes the following

  • 4 hours of coverage

  • Up to 25 guests

  • Online Gallery

    * Monday- Thursday only

03 | ENGAGEMENTS

Getting to know each other before your wedding/elopement is essential, and a couple's/engagement session is perfect for many reasons. You get amazing photos of yourself and your love, and we also get to build our relationship and get comfortable with each other before the wedding day. Being comfortable with me on your wedding day is so important; this session gets all the giddiness and nerves out. Not to mention the dreamy photos you will get back!

Sessions include the following:

  • 1-1.5 hours of shooting

  • Location planning

  • Mood board and inspiration collaboration

  • Digital and film

  • Online Gallery

ADDITIONS

BOUDOIR

As a woman, it is essential to speak kindly about our bodies and show our bodies love. This session is just for that. We rent out a space (not included in the price) that compliments your style and vision, and then we capture you and your body in a way that honors and reflects this season of life. This can be a boudoir shoot you gift your partner before the wedding (a book or prints) or a self-love session because you deserve it, girl.

  • One-hour session

  • Help with location scouting

  • Digital and film

  • Online gallery

MATERNITY

I love capturing stories in all different seasons and get so excited about you welcoming a precious life into the world! This session is about documenting the sweet season you are in with your love. I photograph this like any other session, using a documentary approach to ensure we capture your beautiful season. People book these sessions anywhere from 8-9 months of pregnancy, but you can choose whenever is best for you!

  • One-hour session

  • Help with location planning

  • Digital and film

FAMILY

Family is the most important thing, and I treasure being able to document families in the way that best tells their story. Whether it is running around a field, eating homemade pizza together at home, or having an urban-styled session, we can make it happen.

  • Help with location planning

  • Digital and film
