Firstly, LOVE IS LOVE!!!

All Love is welcome with me!

My goal has never been just to take pretty pictures. It's to create an experience you actually feel, from the first time we talk all the way through the moment you open your gallery and burst into tears of joy reliving the moments we captured together.

Think of me as not only your Santa Cruz wedding photographer, but your location scout, your styling sounding board, your timeline wizard, your hype queen, and honestly just someone genuinely in your corner from day one. Creating a safe space where your unique love story can be told effortlessly AND beautifully.

I want you comfortable enough to express all your wildest weddings dreams before your wedding. That kind of relationship and comfort/authenticity is what makes the images look the way they do.

I never planned to be a Big Sur elopement photographer or a Carmel wedding photographer. I was supposed to be on movie sets in LA, honestly. But life had other plans and gave me something better than I ever could have mapped out for myself. I get to live and work in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth, shooting love stories against coastlines and redwoods and golden California hills, and I get to do it with people who trust me with something real.

I do not take that lightly for a single second.

If you made it this far and something in here felt like it was written for you, it probably was.
