My style aligns best with couples who are deeply in love and spellbound by each other. I work very well with couples who blend creativity with intention - those who design a wedding that feels sentimentally personal, but care more about connection than perfection. They have a deep appreciation for design and creativity, infusing their day with personal touches that feel true to them. And most importantly, they trust me to document their day as it genuinely unfolds: tender glances, joyful tears, quiet in-betweens. I thrive in a laid-back luxury environment!

Engagement sessions are offered as an add-on for all my packages. For my wedding couples or returning couples, sessions start at $650.

While I strongly recommend having your engagement session with your wedding photographer, there have been instances where a couple already had their engagement session at the time of inquiring, or they wish to do it with someone else! This is why engagement sessions are not included, but rather offered as an add-on for my couples.

As a photographer, before I entered the world as a wedding photographer, I was actually (solely) an engagement photographer. I captured MANY engagement sessions for couples, who then had someone else capture their special day since I didn't offer weddings at the time. However, my couples were very bummed that I didn't offer weddings and really wanted me to be the one to capture their day - so after much time and soul searching, I am now a wedding photographer as well and LOVE IT. I have my engagement couples to thank for that.

Coverage is very flexible, and varies depending on the couple and their needs. I offer three "packages" as a frame work (6 hours, 8 hours, and 10 hours) However, we tweak this to the needs of the couple - and we can tweak the hours of coverage up until 2 weeks before the wedding.

For most weddings, I recommend no less than 8 hours of coverage. I would say 9-12 hours of coverage is BEST for a wedding day that has all the bells and whistles. Please inquire so I can send you my investment guide, which includes MUCH more information :)

I send previews within one week. Wedding galleries are delivered within 12 weeks, and standard sessions or events (engagement, couples, showers) are delivered within 5 weeks.

For weddings that take place in my travel range (Sonoma County all the way down to Carmel-by-the-Sea, and any cities within 90 miles east of Oakland, CA) travel is included. Elopements include travel within 50 miles of Oakland, CA

For sessions (e.g., engagement, maternity, couples) travel is included within 50 miles of driving distance from Oakland, CA.

For weddings, sessions, or events outside of this range, travel fees will apply. I will pull together a custom travel quote for you.

Please note that I do NOT shoot weddings only on film.

While I love capturing moments on film, I feel far more comfortable capturing most moments - especially key moments of the day such as your first kiss - digitally since it is more reliable. If I have a second shooter with me, sometimes I will have them capture digitally and I capture on film.

A third shooter may be essential, depending on the wedding and couple's desires, but this is RARE.

Third shooters are typically involved in high profile weddings or weddings where we need to capture multiple perspectives at one time. This helps with efficiency, especially if this is a highly detail-oriented wedding.
