Cinematic Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photography in the San Francisco Bay Area
A wedding doesn't have to be massive to be meaningful. In fact, there is something incredibly powerful about stripping away the noise, the timelines, and the expectations of a traditional 200-person wedding to focus entirely on what matters most: your commitment to each other.
Whether you are planning a private elopement on a rugged cliff overlooking the Pacific, a quiet ceremony in a redwood grove, or a beautiful, intimate wedding surrounded by a handful of your closest family and friends, I am here to document your day exactly as it felt.
My approach to intimate weddings is entirely documentary-style. I focus on the quiet glances, the unfiltered tears, the shared laughter, and the raw emotion of a day structured around your love story—not a production schedule.
Intimate Days Deserve Grand Storytelling
When you choose to have an elopement or a micro-wedding, your photography becomes even more vital. These images are how you will share the depth and magic of your day with the world.
Because intimate weddings move at a more relaxed, intentional pace, it gives us the rare luxury of time. We aren't rushing through a tight schedule; instead, we have the freedom to chase the perfect light, explore stunning Bay Area landscapes, and capture editorial-quality portraits without the stress.
From guiding you through local permit requirements to helping you map out a timeline that prioritizes your peace of mind, I act as your supportive partner throughout the entire planning process.

FAQ
Where to Elope in the Bay Area & Beyond

What's the difference between an elopement and a micro-wedding?
An elopement is just the two of you (or a tiny handful of people); a micro-wedding is a small, intentional celebration — usually under ~15 guests. I photograph both.
Do you help with elopement planning?
I help with timeline, light timing, and location scouting so the day flows. For permits and officiants I can point you to trusted local resources.
