Why Sacramento

Classic architecture, tree-canopy streets, and two rivers make Sacramento both timeless and easy for guests. Old Sacramento’s brick corridors feel cinematic; Capitol Park offers seasonal blooms and formal lines; and the Tower Bridge delivers that warm, metallic glow at sunset.

Working with Us

Our process is simple and personal: a quick call to learn your vision, location and timeline planning, style guidance, and day-of direction that keeps everything natural and unrushed. We offer hybrid coverage (digital + analog film) when it suits the light and mood—most couples love the blend.

Weddings in Sacramento

From museum courtyards to riverfront terraces, we photograph the full story—quiet moments, family, and the beautiful in-between. We coordinate with your planner and venue to place ceremonies and portraits in the prettiest light and keep the flow guest-friendly.

Engagements & Proposals

We help plan surprise proposals (best light, exact spot, timing) and design engagement sessions that feel like you—Capitol Park greens, Crocker Art Museum exteriors, Old Sacramento boardwalks, oak groves along the American River Parkway, or sleek downtown rooftops.

Destination Engagements

Making a weekend of it? We’ll map a relaxed route (sunrise river paths, late-afternoon Old Sac textures, golden hour at the bridge), with wardrobe guidance and built-in breaks so it feels like a date, not a production.

Portraits & Branding

Clean, modern portraits for creatives and teams—on location at the Capitol Mall corridor, restaurants and maker spaces, hotels, or outdoors. We produce cohesive brand sets sized for web, print, and social, with room for headlines and graphic overlays.

Corporate & Events

We cover conferences, galas, executive retreats, and openings across downtown hotels, the Convention Center, and private venues. Options include headshot stations, same-day selects, and private online galleries.

What Sets Us Apart

Planner-friendly. Clear timelines, fast communication, and vendor collaboration.
Hybrid coverage. Digital precision + the depth and grain of analog film when it fits the light.
Yearly session gift. We offer a complimentary photography session every year to all our clients—something we’ll continue as long as we’re in business.
Refined color + true skin tones. Natural, modern edits that age beautifully.

Best Time & Locations

Light: Golden hour (2 hours before sunset) is gorgeous; summer heat favors early mornings and later evenings. Spring bloom and fall color in Capitol Park and McKinley Rose Garden are standouts.

Favorite looks: Tower Bridge & riverfront, Old Sacramento brick and boardwalks, Capitol Park tree canopies, Crocker Art Museum exteriors, McKinley Park rose garden, American River Parkway oaks.

Permits: Some public spaces (Capitol grounds/parks) may require permits. We’ll advise and help you secure permissions where needed.
