so, what exactly is a intimate wedding?!
An intimate wedding is all about keeping things personal and meaningful! It’s a smaller celebration with just your closest people, or even just the two of you! It truly makes it feel extra special! Even the location of your intimate wedding can be adventurous and unique, far beyond a traditional wedding venue! Couples go to places like Joshua Tree National Park, Yosemite National Park, or even San Diego beaches!
Without the big crowds and formalities, you can truly soak in the moment and focus on what really matters—your love and connection. Plus, you get to add all the personal touches that reflect who you are as a couple. It’s a relaxed, fun vibe where you can just enjoy the day without all the stress!

MORE ABOUT ME
I am a Southern California based Photographer. My love for intimate weddings has me constantly exploring the incredible beauty of California's diverse landscapes- from San Diego's beaches, to Yosemites towering granite, and Joshua Tree's otherworldly desert. My journey started when I was photographing big, traditional weddings, but my heart found it's home in capturing the raw emotion and genuine connection of smaller celebrations.
About seven years in, I know the power of intentional, intimate weddings. There's something about those photographs that just take you right back to the moment you lived it. All the feelings – love, joy, nostalgia, the thought of, "I wish I could stop time and stay in this moment" – all of it, is what I capture for you. Your story is so, so unique and only you and your love can tell it. My job is to give those feelings a tangible home through photographs that will live on forever.
- I wouldn’t be where I am today or have the people in my life if it weren’t for Jesus’ love and guidance
- I LOVE Disney! I wouldn't say I am a Disney Adult but... I am pretty close lol. It has such a deeper meaning now that I get to share it with my baby!
- I also LOVE Animal Crossing New Horizons + Donkey Kong
- I am married to my best friend, have a 2 year old who has my whole heart, and a Chocolate Labrador who is LITERALLY the best dog to walk this earth! I AM ONE BLESSED MAMA!!
- I LOVE lattes and matcha but my heart can't take on a lot of caffeine! So decaf or half/caf for me!

Once you inquire through my website, we'll start with a consultation call to talk about your vision for your day! We'll get to know each other, and you can ask me any questions you might have about your unique wedding planning process! I will also send you vendor referrals and locations in the Southern California area that'll fit best with the vibe your'e going for!
OKAY, HERE'S THE PLAN!
From the moment you book with me until your wedding day, we'll have multiple FaceTime/Skype calls and check-ins to ensure you're feeling confident and reassured that your day will be stress-free and centered on your love. You can also text me ANY TIME (that’s why I give you my number!). I understand that some National Parks have specific timeframes for permit applications, so if you don’t have a set date yet, THAT’S OKAY! We can plan it together. Once we have that, we’ll secure any necessary permits for your ceremony and photos at additional locations. It’s really important to respect the park rules and get the required permits!
We'll have our final timeline consultation call. I will also send you a questionnaire to make sure I have ALL details for your day. We can go over any last minute details, talk about the flow of your day, and anything else you want to fill me in on!

It's simple
How do we skip the fake or stiff?!
Your intimate wedding isn’t just an event—it’s a full-on experience. And it should feel entirely like you. I’ll stay in touch as you plan, helping you shape a day that’s true to your relationship. Want to include a deck of Uno cards? Do it. Dreaming of a mountaintop picnic with your favorite snacks? I’m already packing hiking boots. I'm also here to guide you through the logistical side of things—especially if you’re planning something a little wild or remote. Having gotten married in a National Park myself, I’ve got your back on things like permits, flower restrictions, and how to stay stress-free while still honoring your vision.
Rooted in You
I’m here to help you feel totally at ease in front of the camera—no stiff poses, no awkward “what do I do with my hands” moments. Just you, being your wonderful, goofy, lovely self. I’ll guide you with gentle direction (think: “walk toward me like you’re in a rom-com” or “whisper your favorite snack in their ear”—yes, that’s a real one), and then I sort of melt into the background. I’m there, but not in-your-face—watching for the real stuff, the little laughs, the soft glances, the good chaos. That way, we capture the moments that feel effortless, unfiltered, and completely true to who you two are!
The photos you’ll treasure most aren’t the perfectly posed ones—they’re the ones where you feel something. A laugh you didn’t expect. A tear you tried to hide. The way your person looked at you when they thought no one was watching. These are the moments that will matter ten, twenty, fifty years from now. Photography isn’t just another task on the to-do list—it’s your legacy. You’re trusting me with your memories, and that’s not something I take lightly. My goal? To give you images that take you right back to your wedding day—heart racing, breath catching, all of it—as if you were living it again for the very first time.
Feeling comfortable in front of the camera isn’t just about how you stand or where the light hits—it's about trust. That starts with us. I fully believe that connection and communication are everything. That’s why I want to get to know you—what you love, how you laugh, the little things that make your relationship yours. If we both feel like a good fit, the comfort follows naturally. When we share common ground (and maybe a shared obsession with charcuterie boards or national parks), magic happens. My goal is to show up on your day more like a friend than a stranger with a camera.
