Frequently Asked Questions

  • A lot of my couples come to me feeling nervous and unsure of how to pose and what not and that’s where I come in! Your photoshoot will include fun, romantic, and easy prompts that I guide you through. I often times will also demonstrate if needed so you are well informed. Most of my couples photoshoots come out of their shoot feeling at ease and like they had fun along the way! I recommend pairing it with date night sometimes.

  • I really prioritize your photoshoot experience. Photography is more than taking beautiful images, it’s about creating an experience where you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. A lot of my couples photoshoots end with my clients saying “I actually had fun and that was easy!” My goal is to also capture raw emotions, connection, and moments that feel uniquely you.

  • My photography style blends timeless, romantic, and editorial imagery with genuine moments that feel natural and true to each couple. I focus on creating photographs that feel effortless, emotional, and reflective of your unique connection.

    My editing philosophy and style is to stick with real authentic colors you actually see with a soft and, at times, vintage flare. I keep cinematography in mind as well when I’m editing and shooting. I love the idea that you can imagine my photos in a movie, but it’s you!

  • Most couples book their wedding photographer 9–18 months in advance, especially for popular Orange County wedding venues and peak wedding seasons. If you have a date in mind, I recommend reaching out as soon as possible to check availability.

  • I’m an Orange County wedding photographer based in Southern California and serve couples throughout Orange County, including Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, Irvine, and surrounding areas. I also photograph weddings throughout Los Angeles, San Diego, Joshua Tree, and beyond. I also would love to venture into traveling beyond California if you’re interested! Travel fees may apply depending how far it is from me.
