Please tell me if you love your gallery. I literally can’t sleep till you do!

On a serious note though, I truly want you to love your photos. This is why I love talking with you throughout your planning process. The more I know about you and your fiance and your story, the better I can capture the you authentically. The more we talk, I learn your likes and dislikes and style. I’m not JUST your photographer, I’m also a bridesmaid/sister/friend you didn’t know you needed.

Ever wonder what a gallery looks like at the end? This is what your gallery could look like!

I don’t give you a list of poses. I give you a series of experiences. “Walk toward the cliff side together. “Spare something only they would know. “Pick them up and spend them around.”

The movement creates the moment. The moment creates the photo. The photo creates the memory. That’s how I photograph.

Planning a Yosemite elopement? Here's what most couples don't know:

📋 You need a Special Use Permit and they book up fast
🌅 Golden hour at Glacier Point hits around 7pm in summer
🌲 Valley floor is stunning but can be crowded. Timing is everything
🗓️ Peak season is May–September. Spring/fall have the best light

Save this post if you're planning! And DM me if you want someone who already knows the answers 📩

Yosemite. Big Sur. San Francisco. Sedona. Lake Tahoe.
Which one is calling your name for your elopement? Drop your pick below 👇
(No wrong answers. I've shot them all and I'm obsessed with every single one)

Not all Yosemite permits are created equal.

Glacier Point, Valley floor, Yosemite Falls - each location has different rules, seasonal closures, and golden hour windows.
I've shot them all. So when you book with me, you're not Googling "can I get married here" at 11pm. I handle it!

What would you do with 8 extra hours on your wedding day if you had zero obligations?
Seriously! Tell me. I want to help you plan exactly that. 👇

The #1 reason photos feel stiff? Couples who were stressed all day.

Stress lives in the body. It shows in the jaw, the shoulders, the eyes.
When your day is unhurried and intentional, your photos look like it. You can't fake relaxed, but you can plan for it.

If you're looking for a photographer who can lead you to enjoy your day and capture it along the way, contact me to see if your wedding date is available. I'm here to help.

The most common thing couples say after their elopement?
"I was actually PRESENT. I remember everything."
That doesn't happen by accident. It happens when the day has space, the plan is handled, and you're not managing anyone else's experience.
That's what I help you build.
