Thoughtfully curated for any life moment worth remembering
No matter what the occasion is, every package is designed around one goal:
Your important memories are documented and preserved with the intention and care it deserves.
No unnecessary upsells. No crazy wedding tax. Just meaningful work at a fair price!
Couples I work best with:
☼
You care more about how your relationship feels than how it looks
You want photos that feel honest, warm, and “like us”. Natural, affectionate, real to who you are as a couple instead of stressing over logistics or performing for others.
☼
You love candid, documentary-style photos over heavily staged shots
You want guidance for the best lighting and angles, but don’t want to be interrupted during a genuine moment or forced to fake a moment for a “perfect” shot. You want real memories and emotions to be captured.
Memories deserve to exist beyond hard drives and Instagram feeds. These photo books and prints are meant to be cherished inside your home for years to come ❤︎
☼
You’re sentimental and love keepsakes like photo books
You want to 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 value trust, emotional safety, and a calm presence
*Please note that I only take on weddings with less than 50 guests.
Every package includes:
Planning support
From planning your dream session to creating a wedding photo timeline that actually lets you enjoy your day, I’m here to make sure you have the best and easiest 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 it work! Flash is used for low-lit situations during evening events.
Hand-crafted editing
Edited to preserve the actual light and colors that were present. I love soft, natural tones with a touch of grain and b&w to enhance the emotional feel. I NEVER use AI to batch edit my photos or create fake images that never happened!
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 include them already in your package as a gift. I would love your favorite photos 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!

Because each photo book is custom-designed and crafted just for you, all sales are final. You’ll receive a design draft before printing to review and approve, so you can double check if the layout and selected images feel right for you!

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. I’ll also share them if you’re an experienced editor and want to do your own edits. But for the most part, I do not send all of my RAW files.
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.
I DO NOT offer any services related to adding things that didn’t exist or happen via AI/Photoshop.
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.

18 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!
Ready to work together?
No pressure to have it all figured out.
Reach out and we'll take it from there.
