We offer flexible services tailored to the scale and style of your wedding. Each package can be customized to include the elements most important to you, and we provide clear timelines and deliverables so there are no surprises.

Our full day package covers getting ready through reception exit. We document preparation, first looks, ceremony highlights, family portraits, couple sessions, and reception details. Because I stay attentive to flow and emotion, you’ll receive a complete story of your day.

Elopements and micro weddings

For smaller ceremonies we offer focused coverage that prioritizes the ceremony and couple portraits. These packages are ideal for weekday elopements or intimate gatherings in National City CA.

Engagement sessions and bridal portraits

Engagement and bridal sessions are an important part of our offerings. They give us time to get comfortable together and produce images for save-the-dates, invitations, and wedding albums. We help with location selection, outfit guidance, and posing tips to achieve a relaxed, natural look.

Albums prints and digital delivery

We deliver high-resolution images via an online gallery for easy sharing and download. In addition, we offer curated albums, fine art prints, and wall canvases produced with archival-quality materials for long-lasting enjoyment.

You can expect a combination of candid coverage and directed portraits, with clear communication throughout. After the wedding, we provide a sneak peek within a few days and deliver the full gallery within the agreed timeframe.
