let's chat
We got so very lucky with Heather. My number one favorite photographer on Instagram was not only up for the adventure in Big Sur, she was beyond understanding and flexible when it came to our dates. When it came to the big day, she was so warm and fun, while being so professional. You could tell that she really understands how to use the light to her advantage. She is creative, she gives amazing direction, and the end result…stunning. I have never seen us look so good. I thought to myself, dang these are so good these could be on a magazine or an ad. When we do a vow renewal…Heather is who I will be calling. Heather is simply THE BEST!!!

I had to give myself a moment after looking through all of our elopement photos to bring myself back down to earth and find words to express my gratitude. Heather’s work is just, simply put, BREATHTAKING. She is all around amazing and it is so evident that she is so passionate about what she does. She truly does all she can to make dreams come true for everyone she works with. I loved everything about Heather, but if I had to pick my favorite thing about her, it would be how genuine she is. She really does all she can to make sure you feel as beautiful as she sees you. I feel like you don’t come across many people like her at all and I am so happy to now call her a friend.

feeling comfortable
with your photographer matters
Getting to know the person who will be capturing your wedding day is vital! No matter who you wind up working with, make sure they feel like a friend, because being comfortable ensures you can create magic together.
This is why I require a Zoom interview to make sure we vibe.
Photography is a symbiotic relationship, I am giving you a piece of my creativity in exchange for your trust and willingness to be vulnerable in front of my lens.

I’m HEATHER
My work is earthy, organic, full of movement, with editorial vibes. Radically inclusive in all the ways, capturing how it felt and not just how it looked is the driving force behind how I approach your wedding or elopement.
One of the most magical and intangible things to exist is connection... Bringing shape and physical form by capturing it through imagery, is my passion. The relationship between photographer and subject is symbiotic. I'm asking you to share a piece of yourselves with me, and in return, I’ll share my creative soul with you.
The other thing I fully believe: Your day. Your way.
If you decide to spend the day snuggling in bed, I am gonna capture it… If you need to run in and grab a beer at the gas station, I will encourage it… If you want to skinny dip with each other, I will document it… I’m stoked to preserve your wild, wonderful selves in their truest forms.
Let’s create art. Let’s get messy, vulnerable, honest, and adventurous together.
Shall we get started and see if we are the right fit?
