Your wedding shouldn’t feel like a production; it should feel like coming home.
Imagine trading the 200-person guest list for a slow weekend with your favorite people—choosing a space you feel deeply connected to, whether it’s a small property in the mountains or quiet coastal vows, just the two of you.
I’m here to document the moments that usually go unnoticed: writing your vows over morning coffee, the laughter of your favorite people across a long dinner table, and the quiet spaces in between. No rigid traditions or social trends—just an authentic record of the people and places you hold dear.
I don’t believe your wedding should fit into a rigid schedule. I’m there for the full arc of the celebration—from the slow morning preparations to the late-night stories—ensuring every meaningful moment is documented without you ever feeling rushed.
I provide personalized location guides and vendor recommendations to help you navigate the logistics of a small-scale wedding. We’ll find those quiet, soulful spaces that you won't find through a typical search.
Whether you’re navigating Airbnb rules, mountain sunsets, or permits—I’m here to help. We will create a loose timeline for the day that feels natural and unhurried, leaving plenty of room for the spontaneous moments.
Whether your celebration is in the redwoods up north or down in Joshua Tree, I make the logistics simple. Travel within California is already included in every collection—no hidden fees or surprise costs.
Every collection includes your professionally edited, high-resolution images in a private gallery. You have full ownership to download, share, and print your photos, ensuring these moments are preserved for years to come.
You shouldn’t have to wait weeks to relive the day. Within 48 hours of your celebration, you’ll receive a curated set of highlights—fully edited and ready to share while the feeling of the day is still fresh.

We were looking for someone to really capture the feeling of the day and not just a bunch of staged photos. She has such a sixth sense for being at the exact right place at the right time. Jess was amazing to work with from start to finish.

Start by sharing your vision through my contact form. I’ll be in touch within 24 hours with a more detailed guide and a link to schedule a time for us to connect.
We’ll hop on a quick call to connect. This is simply a space for us to get to know one another, talk through your ideas, and ensure we’re the right fit for your day.
When you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send a digital contract and an invoice for your retainer. Once these are settled, your date is officially held on my calendar.
I’m here as your partner throughout the planning process. I’ll share location guides, help you craft a timeline, and remain a sounding board for any questions—ensuring you feel fully prepared to stay present when your wedding day arrives.
I’m based in Northern California, living in the San Francisco Area. I’m often on the coast or up in the Sierras and serve areas throughout the West Coast. I am always open to traveling to whichever landscape feels most like home to you.
I photographed my first wedding in 2016. Over the last decade, I’ve had the honor of documenting more than 150 weddings and elopements.
I photograph elopements and intimate weddings with up to 75 guests. Specializing in small-scale celebrations allows me to focus on the deep connections and unnoticed moments that define your day, ensuring the experience never feels like a production.
Almost everyone feels this way, especially when you haven't been photographed professionally. I'm a pro at making you forget there's even a camera around. I value getting to know you ahead of time so that by the time we meet for your session or wedding, it feels like you're spending the day with an old friend.
I typically shoot solo to maintain a minimal footprint. However, if your timeline or specific locations require a second perspective to document the story fully, I will bring along a trusted second photographer at no additional cost.
Yes! Film is where I first fell in love with photography. I offer 35mm film as an add-on to any collection for that nostalgic feel that only analog can provide. Your story is documented on film throughout the day, with high-resolution scans delivered directly in your final gallery.
Simply fill out my contact form to get started. We’ll schedule a quick call to ensure we’re the right fit, and then you can secure your date by signing a digital contract and paying a $2000 non-refundable retainer.
