I’m the photographer you go to when you want photos that feel real and meaningful, not overly curated. The one who cares more about how you experience your wedding day instead of your Instagram feed. I’m the one who’ll tell you what I honestly think instead of what you want to hear. I’m the person who shows up early, stays late, and treats your day like it’s sacred—because it is. If you want a photographer who genuinely cares about capturing your real story, that’s me. —— San Diego wedding photographer engagement session

Getting real about why I do this. I’ve talked about it briefly on stories but have been too afraid to make it permanent since it’s not exactly my normal joyful content. Hopefully it’s not too morbid for you and you hear my heart behind it 🫶🏻 Your photos mean WAY more than just content for social media! Also - the background music at this cafe was too perfect 🫠

Can we talk about the pressure to have a picture-perfect Pinterest wedding? Because it’s real. The photos on Instagram. The expectations from others. The comparison game. But here’s what I know from experience, the most beautiful weddings aren’t the perfect ones. They’re the honest, authentic ones. The ones where the couple is actually present instead of performing or just going through the motions. We want the messy, emotional, and hilarious. How sad would it be to look back at the most important day of your life and not even recognize it as *yours.*

So here’s your permission slip signed by your friendly neighborhood wedding photographer—

It’s okay if you don’t get matching robes.
Garter toss makes you cringe? Delete.
Rather Irish exit instead of making a fuss? Romantic.

You only get your wedding once, it should literally be the most fun, memorable, and meaningful party for YOU. And I’ll make sure every grandma tear & wild auntie moment is captured 🩵

I may or may not cry behind my camera occasionally. Is this a superpower or a red flag, I’m not sure 😂
