Great wedding photos don’t happen by chance — they’re the result of genuine connection, both between you and with the person documenting your day. Whether you’re getting married in Carmel, Napa, or the Bay Area, every part of the process is shaped by trust, intention, and care. That’s how we create photos that reflect more than just the day, they reflect who you are.
It's about you two saying "this is my person" and celebrating that with the people who mean the most to you. That's why it's important to choose a team who understands that and works to support you, so you can be truly present. I'll make sure the photo process feels like another fun aspect of the day - effortless, like it fits right in to this grand adventure.
...and honors the people and moments at the heart of it
From the quiet getting-ready moments to the just-married glow, you deserve to feel supported, seen, and completely at ease. That’s what I’m here for, not just to take beautiful photos, but to help the day feel effortless. I’ll guide you when needed, step back when it counts, and always make space for the honest, in-between moments you’ll want to remember most.

Natalie is hands down the best photographer you’ll ever have. Her professionalism goes above and beyond and is just the most kindest person. We were very honored to have her as our photographer for our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with her for your next event!

With a warm heart and an intentional eye for detail, I’m here to capture your day with care—and a little extra magic. Whether you’re planning a vineyard wedding in Napa, a coastal Carmel celebration, or a chic Bay Area wedding at The Pearl, you’ll walk away with photos that feel as good as they look. Beyond this, though, I believe in helping you navigate the excitement of your wedding with well-crafted photography timelines and expert guidance, to pair with your wedding planner’s advice and approach. With me, you can have full confidence that your wedding will be captured timelessly and intentionally.
It’s my honor to not only capture your joy, but to also encourage you to savor it.
Collections begin at 8 hours, with an experience built to support you every step of the way. From a high touch experience to thoughtful coordination with your planner, it’s all designed to keep things seamless, so you can focus on being fully present while I document it all.
Whether you’re planning a seaside elopement in Carmel or a full wedding weekend in Napa, I tailor each collection to fit what you envision for your weekend and what matters most to you.
My packages start at $7,250, with the average client spending between $9,000-$10,500.
Once we’ve shared and aligned our visions, I’ll send a proposal and contract your way to secure your date. Then the anticipation begins! We’ll keep in contact to establish a complete understanding of your event and what means most to you. A few months before the wedding you’ll receive a questionnaire and we’ll iron out the timeline for a day that runs smoother than silk.

When the day arrives (and it always comes quicker than expected), your only job is to be fully present with each other. I’ll be there as a steady presence — advocating for you, supporting you, and making sure things feel calm and easy. And when your gallery is ready, you’ll get to relive it all: the quiet moments, the big ones, and even some moments that happen in the background of your big day that you'll be glad to keep forever.
03. Delight in the moment
