Let's get real.
I know you’re so over the typical wedding photography hype you've been seeing. Nothing fitting your vibe? Nothing feeling like you? Yeah, I've been there. Trust me. But, babe, you’re already giving tradition the finger by doing your day your way—why not keep that same energy going for your photos?
So here’s the deal: we’re not doing any of that boring shit. Your love is anything but ordinary, and my job is to make sure it shows. I'm talking capturing this, that, and everything else: the moments that matter—the quiet ones, the chaotic ones, the inside jokes that no one else would get. These aren’t just photos, babe! They’re detrimental pieces of the puzzle that is your story. We need them to be just as bold and jaw-dropping as you!
This isn’t about some bullshit checklist or some outdated idea of what a wedding day should be. Toss all that shit out the window! This isn’t about perfection; it’s about what makes your love unique—how you look at each other, how you laugh, how you move through the world together. We’ll have fun, we’ll be ourselves, and we’ll create something that feels more like home than a photoshoot.
Let’s stop pretending, stop trying to fit ourselves into that perfect little bridal box, and stop worrying about what others expect, and just have fun. Let's make something real. Something you.
'Round here we do bold, funky, and unorthodox as fuck. You’re not like the others, and your photos won’t be either.
I'm passionate about creating an experience that refuses to be forgotten & providing you with photos you'll never shut the fuck up about.

TO QUOTE THE WISE PHILOSOPHER LIL PUMP: ESKETIT
HAVING A DAMN GOOD TIME
NOTHING—AND I MEAN NOTHING—IS OFF THE TABLE
CREATIVITY
COME AS YOU ARE. IT'S THE BEST VERSION OF YOU.
INCLUSIVITY
for example, NO INTERNET CONNECTION = NO SURF WEB. NO PERSONAL CONNECTION = NO GOOD PHOTOS.
CONNECTION
My Core Values
I’m the kind of person who’s given herself bangs too many times, cried along to Taylor Swift more than I care to admit, and thrives on late-night conversations that get way too deep way too fast. I learned a long time ago that life’s too short to pretend we’ve got it all together.
If you’re the type who embraces the chaos, who can laugh at yourself after tripping over nothing, and who knows the best moments are the unplanned, messy ones—we’re on the same wavelength. Let’s kick back, let loose, and create something that feels raw, real, and unapologetically you. No pretense, no rulebook, just the kind of magic that happens when you stop trying so hard and just live.

I see you.
You’re not here for the beige, bland, or boring. You’re the couple who makes your own rules, whether life’s thrown you a few curveballs or you’ve just always done things your way. Either way, your love? It’s bold, weird, hilarious, and completely yours.
Your special day is not about playing it safe. It’s about capturing the magic—those stolen glances, the laugh-until-you-snort moments, and the electric holy-shit-this-is-our-day kind of love. Your photos should make you feel something. Not staged or boring or like an AI-generated Ed Sheeran song—just real, alive, and a perfect reminder of your perfect day.
Wedding photography doesn’t have to be complicated or awkward. Around here we keep it fun as fuck and ridiculously easy.
You just show up, be your amazing selves, and I’ll handle the rest, babe.
my Why
When Alex and I were hunting for an elopement photographer, we hit a brick wall. Every option felt like the same boring template—stiff, posed, and bland as hell. It wasn’t us. We needed something that screamed weird in the best way, something as offbeat and unapologetic as we are. But guess what? No one was out there doing it for people like us. I mean no one. Bitch, we had to fly in our photographer from Australia. Huh???
Where the fuck is the weirdness stateside? I couldn't find it. So I'm doing it.
Alex and I changed our last name to Stanford after the street where we shared our first home—a name that’s all ours, like the life we’re building together. That’s the energy I pour into my photography: something that’s uniquely you, not some watered-down version of what love “should” look like.
Let’s make wedding photography actually feel like you, like home. Let’s make it fun, messy, heartfelt, and unapologetically real.
Come as you are—with your crew, or just the two of you—and let’s capture your love story and all its strange, wild, homegrown quirks. This is so much more than pictures, bestie. It’s about celebrating your love and your connection that feels like home.
Finding a photographer who really gets you? Practically impossible... until now!
