California Has a

Special Place

in My Heart

I Served my Mission in Anahiem

I served my mission right by the Newport Beach Temple, Disneyland, and Catalina Island! I was spanish speaking and loved it!

I Honeymooned in San Fran & the Redwoods

For our honeymoon, me and my husband spent a week exploring all that California had to offer, including San Francisco and the Redwoods. We even stayed in a tree house!

I go back for weddings yearly

In 2026, I traveled to Lake Tahoe, Oakland, Santa Rosa, and San Francisco for weddings!

SUPER 8 FILM

Imagine your bridals captured on vintage Super 8 film — dreamy movement, nostalgic tones, and all the little moments that make this season of life feel so special.

I’m expanding my film offerings with the Canon 310 XL Super 8 camera and am so excited to bring this timeless medium to the California coast!

With extensive experience shooting still film and 6+ months to practice and refine my Super 8 craft before your bridals, I can’t wait to create something that feels straight out of a vintage home movie — a little imperfect, deeply nostalgic, and entirely yours.

“Alex!!!!! These are so special!!

Ethan and I were talking yesterday about how amazing you are!
