Where your story meets the art.
Grounded in emotion. Styled with intention. Told with heart.
You want wedding photos that feel like you—romantic, real, and just the right amount of extra.
I’m here to help you soak up every second, laugh a little louder, breathe a little deeper, and walk away with a visual legacy that feels like magic.
With over a decade of experience documenting love stories across oceans, mountaintops, and candlelit dinner tables, I bring both skill and soul to every celebration. Featured by WPPI, Modern Luxury, San Francisco Magazine, Silicon Valley Magazine, and The Knot.
My background in art and business means you’re getting a seasoned guide, creative partner, and someone who truly gets it.
I photographed my first wedding at age 14.
READ MY ORIGIN STORY
Polished, professional, and deeply present—yes.
But also? Fun. Fast on my feet. Down for anything.
“Made us laugh so much.”
“Like having your best friend with you, but she brings expensive cameras and incredible taste.”
My couples say things like:
Thank you for capturing so many beautiful moments.
Don't forget the part where you expertly coaxed our daughter to pose for more pics with some well-timed Horsie Talk!

I'm Michaela
photographer, artist, romantic, adventure-lover, and unapologetic fan of over-accessorizing.
I’m obsessed with the ocean, vintage fashion, old-world cities, and images that make your chest ache in the best way.
ALSO IMPORTANT: I’m a horse girl to my core. The kind who grew up obsessed with The Black Stallion—book, film, all of it. Our new logo even features a tiny, elegant unicorn inspired by the Bucephalus statue (Alexander the Great’s magical horse) as a nod to that childhood love. We added the horn because, truthfully, I didn’t believe in marriage until I met my unicorn husband. He made me believe in magic. And love is magic.
Fun? Always. Flirty? Of course. Extra? Just enough.
Low-key luxury? That’s our love language.
There’s a whole corner of my heart devoted to equine portraiture—if you’re curious, you can explore that world here.
Our Approach
To create emotive, artful imagery that feels personal, soulful, and enduring—photographs that look like memories and live like heirlooms.
I believe photography should slow you down.
That presence matters more than perfection.
That how it feels is just as important as how it looks.
