HEYO! It’s me, Steph!

I’m here to help you avoid boring photos!

Serving Southern California and beyond!

I get major JOY helping you have the best possible experience getting your photos taken. One of two things will happen: you won’t even notice me. I’ll be the stealthiest photo ninja. Or two: you’ll totally notice me ‘cause I’ll be prancing in my fanny pack and you’ll be wondering how I got so weird while laughing the most natural laugh ever that looks so natural in photos. Basically, I know how to read the room. When you look at your photos, I want you to remember what made you laugh, how you felt, and the moment you shared. My style is a mix of beautiful rich colors and film-inspired tones and textures. I’m not shy — my favorite thing to do is help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you’ve made it this far, I’d love to connect! Connect with me here or learn more about me here!

film inspired photos for the unconventional couple

 
 
 

I might be for you if:

You want your wedding day to be unique and reflect your personalities perfectly.

You want a photographer who will get down with you on the dance floor.

You appreciate art and would love to star in your own piece of artwork.

You want time to soak in the moments with your person.

You consider yourself weird, goofy, quirky, or eccentric.

You’re adventurous and down to get dirty.

You prefer real over perfect.

I make it a point to get to know each of my couples before I ever show up to their wedding day and my first priority is you! You don’t just want your photographer to take pretty pictures. You want a photographer who will cry with you and help you make these moments the best of your life. And I can do that ALL DAY SON.

my wedding philosophy

I’m all about the unposed shots. Sure, I’ll get a few with everyone smiling but that’s not my bread and butter. I’m not going to take 20 minutes to line up your bridal party just right. I’m gonna see what looks good and tell everyone a joke. I’m here for the laughs, the in-between moments, and the real emotion. I’m here to tell your uncensored story above all else.
