I strive to create images that spark memories of shared joy in everyday moments. These are the kind of photographs that beg to be displayed, cherished heirlooms adorning walls for generations to come. 

Hi! I'm Michelle!

california wedding photographer

(She/ Her) 

When my wife and I were engayged and looking for a photographer who embraced the LGBTQ+ community, we couldn't find any local photographers. I thought to myself, I can be the queer vendor we had been looking for. I can be the LGBTQ+ photographer to help capture these incredible moments.

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images of you and the world as you two see it. Even with it's ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful and I can't wait to create images to show that!


My love for photography has brought me everywhere up and down the coast of California, to the Pacific North West, to the mountains of Yosemite, and to the rivers in Colorado.

Each and every wedding brings me a wave of excitement that is unmatched.

I can’t wait to get to know you, hear your love story and help bring your wedding photography dreams to life!
