That feeling when your eyes finally meet on your wedding day. The epic view of snow-covered mountains or glittering city skyline behind you as you say, “I do.” The kaleidoscope of colors, music, and people who come together to make your celebration so uniquely yours. These moments, when your soul feels truly awake, are the inspiration for Awake Photo Co.
As a San Diego, California wedding photographer, I thrive working with couples who have a sense of adventure and individuality. Although I'm based in San Diego, travel and adventure is a big part of my life and business. Heading to Tulum with your close-knit crew? I’m in. Swapping the horse-drawn carriage and heels for a mud-covered ATV and boots? Let’s do it! My work has taken me to close to home wonders like Sedona and Yosemite as well as more far away places such as Senegal, Ireland and Germany.
My photography style is versatile and radiantly romantic — like starting the night with craft cocktails at a chic rooftop lounge and ending it at that dive bar with the most incredible live music. No matter what, you can expect an inclusive photography experience that sees and celebrates your beauty.
Whether your wedding is a short drive or a transatlantic plane ride away, I’d love to hear about you and your love story. Let's meet in real life or on the screen–I can’t wait to get all the details!

about
"The photos completely blew me away. The pictures were not at all cheesy, boring nor overly artistic. They were dynamic, colorful and unique. And in every pic, we look like the two most beautiful and happy people on earth."

"She was jumping and dancing across the dance floor at our wedding getting the coolest dance party photos. Stacie goes above and beyond while still making you feel so laid back."

a few of my favorite things...
favorite travel adventure?
favorite ways to spend a day?
favorite bevvy?
favorite part of my job?
Road tripping around Iceland, discovering the art and night life of Tulum, exploring Zion National Park — it’s tough to pick!
Catching a wave at the beach, heading to the climbing gym, or snuggling with my cat, Fern (but only on her terms, she is quite particular).
Black coffee in the morning, an Old Fashioned in the evening, or a hazy IPA if I’ve been outside all day.
Connection! Getting to meet amazing people, laugh and cry with them, hear their stories, and test out my best dad jokes.
