WHAT MATTERS MOST

…is love. All the flowers and food help add to your wedding experience, but what truly lasts is the love captured and how it makes you feel.

Your skin will wrinkle and your memories will fade, so how I document your day is how you will remember your wedding years from now. 

Documenting these stories is not something I take lightly.

My mission as a Los Angeles elopement photographer is to document the love of the day, for you, your guests, and for generations yet to come.

I DOCUMENT LOVE

300+ Weddings as a California Elopement Photographer

 Wedding Photography in Los Angeles

As a California elopement photographer, I have been fortunate to have grown up in one of the best places in the world to elope. In addition to the great cuisine, attractions, and weather, Southern California is home to some amazing natural landscapes and elopement venues. Redwood trees, ocean views, and grand city views are all a short drive from LA.
