you’re getting married!!

The time has come to start dreaming up your wedding day — this should be fun, right? Yes! It SHOULD! But if you find yourself already worried about how to plan the perfect day or if you feel stressed out instead of excited, then it’s time to pause for a deep breath and refocus on what truly matters: you and your partner are getting married.

Let’s create an intentional wedding celebration that you and your partner will genuinely enjoy, all while having beautiful photos captured.

MORE FUN, LESS STRESS

Planning your wedding and all of the decisions you have to make can feel overwhelming. So let’s bring the JOY back into your planning and focus on what kind of day would make you and your partner happy!

How do you want to spend your wedding day?

Do you want to spend the day just the two of you in the mountains? Do you want to be surrounded by family and friends at a winery? Do you want just a few of your nearest and dearest by your side as you say your vows overlooking the ocean?

Whatever your vision is, let’s do it! You focus on enjoying yourselves and I’ll take care of the photos.

What does a stress-free wedding look like?


It’s the freedom to plan a wedding day you will truly enjoy.

It’s more time with your partner and your loved ones.

It’s permission to let go of other people’s expectations.

It’s having a great plan and trusting your vendors to take care of you.

It’s more time celebrating and enjoying your own party.

It’s relaxed and easy.

 
 
 

Hi, I’m Natalie!
Your Local California wedding photographer
based in the San Francisco Bay Area

 
 

I’ve seen weddings of all shapes and sizes over the years, and the couples who have the best day-of experience are the ones who are able to slow down and enjoy their wedding celebration without rushing from one activity to the next. There’s usually so much happening on a wedding day – it can feel like it’s flying by. That’s one of the reasons you take a ton of photos: so you can look back and remember it all again.

It’s also important to have a photographer who will prioritize your experience first, encouraging you to pause and take it all in, and set you up for success with a great wedding day timeline.

I truly believe your wedding should be fun for you and your partner, without pressure or stress, and I’m here to help support you in having a celebration you’ll truly enjoy!

 

 “You were so amazing to work with, a perfect combination of freedom and direction. It was truly a pleasure. I keep saying that I wish I could freeze frame the whole day, it was so perfect and yet went by so fast. Thank you for making that dream a reality!”
