after all this time, always. I would rather spend one lifetime with you, then face all the ages of this world alone. You're all I need. I love you and I like you.

My promise to you is to make you feel seen, to make this feel memorable, and to give you something real that is preserved forever.

Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding with your closest loved ones in your backyard or a cliffside elopement in the Mediterranean just the two of you, your wedding day should be yours to celebrate your way.

Let’s let go of tradition-for-tradition’s sake and instead focus on what matters most:

(OBVIOUSLY ALSO AMAZING FOOD)

Friends. Family. And Food.

Specializing in Intimate Weddings
& Heartfelt Elopements

My goal is always to tell your story as truthfully and artfully as I possibly can. You can trust me to care deeply and to create a customized experience where you feel 100% supported always.

Frequently     asked

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? and DO YOU TRAVEL?

I'M LOCATED IN SAN DIEGO, CA AND ABSOLUTELY I LOVE TO TRAVEL! I WILL LITERALLY GO ANYWHERE TO DOCUMENT YOUR STORY AND YOUR LOVE! DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION SOME TRAVEL FEES MAY APPLY. CONTACT ME FOR A CUSTOM QUOTE!

HOW WILL YOU DELIVER OUR GALLERY?

Once your photos are ready, I'll send you a link to a private online gallery. You can download or print your photos straight from this gallery site. FYI printing rights are always included!

WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?

full gallery delivery is usually 2-3 weeks for couples sessions and 6-8 weeks for weddings and elopements.

HOW MANY PHOTOS DO YOU DELIVER?

I deliver approximately 70 images/hr. The total number of images in a gallery depends on a number of factors (like number of guests, details, group photos, if you've purchased the second photographer add on, etc.)

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU AND HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

A 50% non-refundable retainer and a signed contract are needed to book. the remainder is due 4 weeks before your date for weddings and elopements, and 2 weeks before for couples sessions. I will email you an invoice and you can pay via a secure online portal. 

Once you've reserved your date, you have the option to set up a payment plan to pay the remaining amount. Monthly, quarterly, whatever works best for you, we can work it out :)

DO WE GET ALL OF THE UNEDITED (RAW) PHOTOS?

this is always a no for me.

CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP THAT OUT?

My goal with my photography is to show you how beautiful and absolutely extraordinary you already are. I only photoshop out small temporary things (e.g. blemishes, minor sunburns, a bruise, etc.). If there's something you're self conscious about, please let me know and I will do my very best when directing you!

DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?

Absolutely I do! Let me know if your venue needs proof of insurance from me, and I can send them the info.

Best experience with a photographer I’ve ever had!! Excellent communication, like way above average! Quick response time and addressed all of our needs. Brittany gave great tips too, very helpful with clothing ideas! She was easy to talk to, bubbly and outgoing. She also sent my husband and I a fun and quick little quiz about our our relationship before the shoot, which made us feel even more like she knew us and what we might want showing up in our photos in an unspoken way. The day of on set went very smoothly with timing and she made it easy where to meet. Which was nice since we hadn’t been to that location before (sunset cliffs SD). She made us feel totally comfortable and relaxed. She even had a little speaker and played music while we walked around and took pictures! She had so many amazing tricks up her sleeve for capturing those moments that feel goofy in the moment but look AMAZING on film!! We were so thrilled when we got our photos back, she made us look like Instagram models!! It went beyond expectations and I would absolutely hire her again!! Thank again Brittany!!
