The
Experience
The experience is based on what you want to get out of it. It calls for a sense of trust between us. What I mean is, trusting me to tell me what is most important to the two of you. What do you value in life and how does that fit into how I can document your story.
It is feeling first and then photos. I want you to feel what you need to feel in the moment, because when you look at those photos hanging on the walls in your home or in your printed album, you'll instantly be able to remember how you felt in that exact moment. That's really what my job is.
"This is not A business transaction,
this is a long term friendship"
starting at $5,500 | 8 hours
This is the "we're not going home until midnight" package! We know there's lots of family and friends to invite, so why not go all the way and make it a big celebration. If you had your heart set on the biggest or badass venue with all the festive details, then this my friend will be the way to go!
BIG WEDDINGS
The Big Bang
starting at $3,800 | 4 hours
MICRO WEDDINGS
Intimate Moments
Still don't want the super big wedding but want to bring more of your closest loved ones to celebrate the day with you, then a micro wedding would be the perfect choice. You still get to plan the day in detail at your desired venue or even in your own backyard! There's still so much opportunity to make the day have your personal touch and still having the time to soak up all the happy feels with your guests!
This is an incredible way to tie the knot in a beautiful place without limits. They're, in my opinion, the most fearless way to marry your forever person. This is the time to get your feet dirty and flip the bird at tradition. Finding the perfect spot, matching you with other capable vendors, and helping make your dreams come true is my bread + butter. Just because your guest list is small, doesn't mean the details and the day have to be.
starting at $3,000 | 2 hours
ELOPEMENTS
Small & Cozy
Whether it is an engagement session or a "just because its Tuesday" session with your lover, these portrait sessions are the best ways to document your love in some beautiful scenic locations.
starting at $700
COUPLE SESSIONS
Adventurous
Why do I say invest...
It's not just a business transaction, it's choosing to document the important moments with the person you chose to do this crazy life with. Not only are you investing in your photos, you're investing in me and everything I have to offer beyond just taking some pretty photos. Want help choosing an outfit? Text me, I got you. Need some convincing that you can throw tradition out the window? I'm there to cheer you on!
With over 8 years of experience in this business, I'm able to predict the moments and the "in betweens" that perhaps you didn't think about. I like to capture moments as they are to not interrupt the genuine emotion, but I will also step in to direct when appropriate during portraits.

where are you located?
I'm located on the central coast of California, Watsonville and Marina to be exact. I am in the greatest midpoint between the bay area (San Francisco) and the Monterey Bay peninsula (Big Sur).
I am completely open for any + all travel! Passport is ready to go. Want to know what I have on my bucket list? Just ask and I will set up a special package for you.

Are you lgbtqia+, bipoc, cultural +
religious background friendly?
Abso-fucking-lutely. This is a safe space for all love here! You are meant to be celebrated and share your love in the way you decide to.
You do not need to conform to what I am. the ideal couples show up and show out in their own ways. I love the experience of new cultures + traditions.
*Also to add, I guarantee that all vendors I recommend and book with are also allies*

can we have the raws?
The simple answer... no.
The more complex answer...me saying "no" isn't meant to be rude, but I say it because giving the complete raw and unedited versions of the images (believe me not all are winners), feels like a disservice to you! This is part of my process and a portion of what you book me for. i pay attention to the details and make sure the edits reflect my style.

how do payments work?
I have this pretty sweet online system to handle all the booking process without all the mess. The moment you book with me, you will receive the proposal that will show you all the info of your booking + the payment schedule. I require a $1,500 non-refundable retainer payment to secure your date. the full amount is to be paid 3 weeks prior to the wedding date.

how many images are included?
I don't guarantee a solid number as it depends on the events planned for the day! Every wedding is different, but I do promise I find all the important moments to include within your images. I do however shoot between 75-100 images per hour.
