Whether you’re dreaming of wildflowers and a soft sunset or strobes on the dance floor with your best friends, this isn’t just about planning the perfect event. It’s about that feeling when you just can’t stop smiling. When your song comes on. When you finally have a quiet moment together. When it’s magic hour on an unbelievable day. As your photographer, I’ll be there to capture every memory, so you can savor each moment.
In the last seven years, I’ve shot over 50 weddings, elopements and engagements across the West Coast and worldwide. Whether the event is big or small, rugged or romantic, one thing never changes: the very best photos come from connection.
I’m here to make sure the real you shines through. That means I’ll take the time to understand your vision and ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way. That’s how we’ll create photos that feel authentic to you and your partner.
I’ve been chasing moments of beauty since I first picked up a camera. So if I start climbing things or laying on the floor to get the best angle, don’t worry! When you see the photo, it’ll all make sense.
I love hanging out with you and yours on your special day. It makes me happy to record those big and small moments of joy — whether it’s a kiss, a bear hug, a show stopping move on the dance floor, or an unexpected rainstorm. It’s all beautiful, and I can’t wait to capture it.

Stacie was the absolute BEST! We got married in Ireland so not only did she travel the entire way she was super flexible with us as we finalized details last minute. Stacie not only captured the entire day perfectly, she even came with us the day after for an intimate shoot on the Cliffs of Moher. I cannot say enough good things about her. All of our guests loved her and we were so thankful she was able to be part of our wedding day!
Stacie knows how to capture the magic in every moment. We chose her as our photographer for our elopement and truly could not have asked for a better experience.
AMAZING! That doesn’t even describe enough how awesome Stacie is at what she does. She has a gift for capturing the most beautiful, intimate moments. Shes not only professional, communicative, efficient, but she’s a wonderful person. She’s kind, funny, reliable, and has quickly become a good friend to us.
