“Caili was a blast to work with. We had her do our engagement photos and our wedding photos.

Jon & Stephanie’s Engagement Photos at Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland

“Caili took my engagement photos and they were amazing! I really just wanted them very simple to show our personality and represent our fun relationship and that’s exactly what she did!

Kira & Moroni’s Spring Engagement Session at the Utah State Capitol

Audrey is a total sweetheart. And she’s such a class act. I mean she plays the flute. Does that not just make you seem like you have your life together? It’s been so long since I’ve shot seniors. I hadn’t realized until now that while I’ve been working to get better at serving wedding couples, […]

Audrey’s Spring Senior Session at the Utah Capitol & Memory Grove

These two are the actual definition of couple goals. “Okay, Caili,” you say, “That kinda goes without saying. Just look at them!” But that doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Nia answered that actually, she booked the date because that’s when City Hall’s website said they had a time availability. They told the news […]

Chris & Nia’s Valentine’s Day SF City Hall Wedding

The best way I can think of to describe Melissa and Scott is “chill.” For example… Melissa had originally told me, “I love… how you capture light” and I was so excited to give her the glowy result I also love. However, it has been raining lots recently in the Bay, so I sent inspiration […]
