Thoughtfully curated for every big life moment worth remembering
No matter what the occasion is, every package is designed around one goal:
Making sure your important life milestones are documented with the intention and care they deserve.
Photo books are already included — because your memories deserve a home that’ll last forever.
No unnecessary upsells. No crazy wedding tax. Just meaningful work at a fair price.
☼
You care more about how your relationship feels than how it looks to others
You want photos that feel honest and "like us." Natural, affectionate, real to who you are as a couple — not performing for others.
☼
You love candid, documentary-style photos over heavily staged shots
Couples I work best with:
I'll offer gentle guidance for light, mood, and composition, but I won't interrupt a genuine moment or force one for a “perfect” shot. I prefer creating space to make real memories and connections.
☼
You’re a sentimental person and want your photos preserved in photo books & prints
Memories deserve to exist beyond hard drives and Instagram feeds. These photo books and prints are meant to be cherished in your home and picked up whenever you want to relive those moments.
*Please note that I only take on weddings with less than 75 guests.
☼
You value trust, emotional safety, and a calm presence in a photographer
The best photos happen when you feel safe enough to let go and just be fully present because you trust your photographer. My biggest priority is making sure you’re both at ease and having fun!
You know those candid photos of couples that make you feel something even when they're not even your photos?
I can’t wait to make you feel that way about your own ❤︎
Every package includes:
Planning support
From planning your dream date to creating a wedding photo timeline that doesn’t feel overwhelming, I’m here to make sure you have the best time getting photographed!
Natural light photography
Guided by available light for images that preserve the ambiance of the space. Whether it’s soft or harsh lighting, I will make sure it looks flattering! Flash is used for low-lit situations.
Hand-crafted editing
Edited to reflect the light and mood of your actual day — not just throw a preset on top..I love natural tones with a touch of grain and b&w to enhance the emotional feel. I NEVER use AI to batch edit my photos!
Session guide
Includes guidance for setting intentions, planning outfits, location, props, and emotional preparation. It has all the detailed information you need to make sure you feel confident and aligned with everything from start to finish.

Photos belong somewhere you'll actually see them
Most photographers offer albums and photo books as an extra add-on, but I want to include them already in your package. Your favorite photos deserve to exist in the space where it matters most: your home ♥︎
No need to worry about spending time you don’t have, or not knowing where to go for high quality print. Everything is streamlined so all you have to do is pick the ones you love the most from your online gallery, and it’ll be shipped right to your door!

FAQs
-
If I chose a photo you didn’t like and want to see if there are better variations of it, I’m more than happy to share those.
If my edits end up not being what you’re looking for and want them re-edited by someone else, I can make the exception by selling them to you at an additional cost. Ideally I would love to just re-edit them better to your liking, but I care more that you’re happy with the final photos. Please let me know and we will work something out.
-
I don’t offer heavy retouching and editing. I can remove pimples and smooth out some skin texture, but nothing crazy. I can also remove distracting objects or people in the background. Anything beyond that like making yourself look “skinnier” or airbrushing your skin to look like a Vogue model is not something I can support - that’s not my style.
If you’d like to hire someone else for professional retouching, please ask for permission first so I can send you the RAW file.
-
Yes of course!! I completely understand not wanting your photos to be shown on the internet for everyone to see. I’m more than happy to accommodate, no questions asked.
I’ve had a couple ask me not to use their photos because they broke up. You don’t need to over-explain yourself, just send me a DM or email and I’ll remove it right away! I can take all of them down or the select few you didn’t like/want to keep private.
If you see this before we work together and want to bring it up during our call, please do! You’re free to change your mind too, so don’t hesitate to communicate with me whenever you feel uncomfortable about it.

17 as the lead photographer for traditional weddings
3 as the lead for elopements
4 as the 2nd shooter for other photographers
-
Yes! My favorite part about our first call together is that I get to learn more about who you two are and offer any ideas that come to mind that makes sense for the relationship you have with each other.
If you have no idea where to start, I’ll ask some simple questions like what your favorite memory of a date was, or explore any dream dates you always wanted to go on! From there we can start going through ideas together to see what works the best for you both.
-
It will be up for 1 year! However, I can’t guarantee I’ll have all the RAW images after 3 months of delivery. Please ask for additional photos, swaps, re-edits ASAP.
-
Of course! I’m more than happy to discuss a payment plan, everyone has different budgets and weddings especially are notorious for going over. I won’t charge any additional fees and we can spread them up to 3 months.
-
I'm based in Los Angeles and travel fees are included for sessions in Southern California. For destinations beyond that, reach out and we'll discuss travel costs — I'm always open to exploring a new location while I capture you and your partner experiencing it all (‘:
I visit Japan often to see my family, so I hope to offer my services out there seasonally one day!
