Aaah, you're getting married! congratulations! i love to document moments as they're happening and i would be honored to document your wedding story. why are you getting married in the first place? more than likely, it's because you're head over heels, and crazy in love with each other, right? And if you've got love on your wedding day, that is really all you need for your day to be magical. I most love documenting the happy tears, the raw, the sweet simple, often overlooked moments.
I aim to make photographs that make you feel all the feels now and bring you right back to those moments later on when you look back at your images 5, 10, 15, and 20+ years from now. I will be with you through all the emotions of your celebration, I’ll be your friend, I’ll probably be tearing up behind the camera watching you two take the first step into a new chapter, and I’ll more than likely dance with you at your reception!
Why Weddings?
I’m a documenter of love and it doesn't matter if you're it's just you and your lover getting hitched or you're planning a 300+ wedding, I truly enjoy these celebrations! I’ve had many side hustles along the way and all of them have had ties to weddings. I have worked at a bridal salon helping brides pick out their dream dresses. I worked at a tuxedo rental agency where I fitted people for tuxes. I’ve made cakes for weddings, and I have been a wedding coordinator, invitation maker, makeup artist, and even a bartender for weddings! all of this experience helps me assist in timeline planning as well! there was a time when I said I would never photograph weddings because I was so afraid of the pressure, but I have come to find that I'm in love with witnessing the love and raw moments on these big days!
I'm a lover of love, fun, and nostalgia. I’m a 30-something human, wife, mama, and lifestyle photographer living in the east bay area, ca. I’m married to my best friend, Paul. we have a spirited seven-year-old named Penny and a wild five-year-old named Ollie. I enjoy long quiet walks up and down target aisles. I like to die (seriously, I’m always like, “I can make that!”).
