Intimate weddings, elopements, and stories of love documented with heart and soul.
I'm Sydney, a San Diego wedding photographer with almost a decade of experience specializing in capturing intimate weddings & elopements.
My passion lies in the idea that every couple should be able to celebrate their way: wholly, unapologetically, and authentically. Whether that's an elopement somewhere exotic with just the two of you, or a party at your favorite dive bar with all of your nearest & dearest.
The very core of our being seeks to be understood, known, and loved. It's such a human desire to document the precious moments in front of us, because it's our soulful connections that make this journey so meaningful.
I serve couples who want their wedding day to reflect their relationship. Inspired by their own experiences and love for each other, they know that whatever they plan, it will be perfect because it's theirs.

"Sydney. I cannot thank you enough for capturing our day so beautifully. I am in tears looking back through these photos. They are absolutely stunning. You are so incredibly talented and I feel so lucky that you were the one to shoot our wedding. I would recommend you to literally every soul I know."

"They are perfect in every way — you caught details that we didn't even see that week and seeing everything through your eyes was truly something special! These were the photos I only dreamed of having and you made it all possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! You've given us the gift of instant nostalgia that we will cherish forever and ever."

"Sydney was such an absolute light our entire wedding weekend! From the first conversation we had over the phone, I knew we were in the absolute best hands. She made us feel so comfortable, and meshed perfectly with our family, guests, and vendor team. Working with her was one of the favorite parts of our weekend. We cannot imagine our weekend without her!"

"Sydney exceeded every expectation. I told her on a call a few months before the wedding that having candid photos of my mother was really important. She has a brain injury and it’s difficult to get a “typical” posed photo. The day of the wedding, she searched for moments to capture my mother candidly. The results are breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. Sydney treats you like family, loves your guests as her own friends and produces your photos with all of her talent - there’s simply no one better."
