Weddings can be expensiveeeee. The biggest costs for a wedding are usually the venue, food, and alcohol. If you’re on a tight budget, the best thing you can do is save in these areas by finding a less expensive venue that allows you to bring your own food and alcohol (you can find a much […]
As an additional service, I create each of my wedding couples a custom, recommended wedding day schedule. If the couple doesn’t have a planner, they usually just go by my solo recommendation. If the couple has hired a wedding planner, I will work with him/her to create this timeline. This works better for everyone because […]
If you’re looking for a mountain wedding venue at the best price, Storm Mountain is my go-to recommendation! I chose to throw my own wedding rehearsal dinner here because it is simply gorgeous and so so affordable. I’ve compiled essential Storm Mountain wedding information and costs as of Spring 2022. Things are always subject to […]
One of the ways we saved money for our wedding was to make most of our wedding invitations digital. It’s 2021 😉 We printed only 25 physical invitations and gave those only to older-generation guests who’d expect it and people who actually save that paper.

I love the Bay Area. I moved here a year ago to start college at UC Berkeley and photography has given me an opportunity to get out and explore some of the gorgeous places around. We have beaches and hills and trees and urban architecture and everything else you could possibly want. San Francisco is […]

Having a plan is a great way to make this process as stress-free as possible 🙂 1. Announce & Enjoy I’ve received photography inquiries […]
For sure bring your pets to your photography session! Past couples and seniors have included them in sessions before and it’s always a good time. I love love love your furry friends! And I have no allergies + I’m always down to run around with them. If your dogs don’t require constant attention, they can […]
We can’t control the weather. I usually book up months in advance, so rescheduling your photo session because of rain can be difficult. If it’s an option though, I’m sympathetic! But if it isn’t, don’t worry. As a professional photographer, it’s my job is to make you look good no matter the situation. Running around […]
