Intentional. Genuine. Timeless.

I believe your wedding day should feel like you—not a performance for the camera. My style is relaxed and hands-off. I hang back, let your day unfold naturally, and capture it as it happens: the real laughter, the glances, the moments no one's posing for. I want your photos to feel like your day, something you can look back on and actually feel, not just see.

Hi, I’m Charlotte!

Welcome! I’m so glad you found your way here.

I'm a Southern California-based elopement and wedding photographer who travels anywhere your love story takes us. Italy holds a special place in my heart, and it's where many couples come to me for intentional, destination-style elopements—from the Amalfi Coast to Tuscany, Rome, and more. With 7 years of experience capturing genuine moments and real emotion from Pasadena to Big Sur, Italy, and everywhere in between, my goal is simple: timeless, authentic images that truly reflect your story, wherever you say "I do."

The Process

Your Day, Your Story

No two weddings look the same to me, and they shouldn't. Every couple brings their own energy, their own way of loving each other, and that's what I'm there to capture. Not just a pretty photo, but the version of your day that's true to you. Those are the moments I want you to be able to look back on and feel exactly how it felt then.

If my approach sounds like the kind of photographer you’re looking for, I'd love to hear about your day! Head to the inquiry page and tell me what you're planning.
