I believe in capturing love, connection, and real moments that stand the test of time. The best moments aren’t just perfectly posed—they’re the ones where you dance in the rain, laugh until you cry, or sneak a kiss in the snow. Magic happens in the imperfections.
Traditions are great, but the best weddings are unapologetically YOU. Whether it’s a barefoot beach ceremony, an epic mountaintop elopement, or a dance floor moment powered by the perfect playlist, I’m here to document your story in a way that feels true to you.
And because I believe in celebrating life’s best moments the right way—tacos and margaritas are always welcome.
Let’s make some magic together.

A camera alone doesn’t make a great photographer—experience, intuition, and connection do. I’ve spent years honing the ability to read a room, calm nerves, and make sure you actually have fun in front of the camera. Because when you’re comfortable, the real magic happens.
From wrangling a wedding party to knowing exactly when to step back and let a moment unfold naturally, I bring the balance of skill and instinct to every session. My goal? To tell your story exactly as it feels, so years from now, you’re not just looking at photos—you’re reliving the moments.
And if tacos and margaritas—or maybe the ultimate girl dinner of a Caesar salad, fries, and an Aperol Spritz—are part of the equation? Even better.
Storytelling has always been in my DNA—from editing the high school sports section to majoring in photojournalism at CSULB, capturing real, unscripted moments has always felt like home. But my journey into photography wasn’t a straight shot—it started as a side hustle after Igor (aka my husband) and his mom gifted me my first DSLR. I shot everything I could, from friends to events, and thought I hit the jackpot with my first $100 shoot.
Fast forward 12+ years, and here I am—doing what I love, working for myself, and capturing life’s biggest moments for people like you.
Also, if we’re keeping things real—I spent years in the restaurant industry, from hostessing to bartending (shoutout to Macaroni Grill, where I met Igor!). That experience taught me to think fast, read the room, and anticipate what people need before they ask—which is basically my superpower when it comes to wedding days.
Being a photographer is more than just taking pictures—it’s about seeing the moments that matter before they’re even fully formed. It’s the deep breath before you walk down the aisle, the way your partner reaches for your hand without thinking, or the unplanned laughter that erupts mid-ceremony.
No two stories are the same, and that’s exactly why I do this. My approach isn’t about following a formula—it’s about stepping into your world, reading the energy of the day, and capturing what makes it yours. Whether it’s the quiet stillness of a private vow exchange or the electric buzz of a packed dance floor, I focus on the moments that make your day unforgettable—not just how it looked, but how it felt.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple—to tell your story, exactly as it unfolds.
I’m Lisa—part photographer, part problem-solver, and the kind of person who can read a room before the first toast is poured.
As an Enneagram 7 with a side of 2, I thrive on energy and connection—making sure you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Maybe it’s my years behind the bar, anticipating what people need before they ask, or maybe it’s my lifelong love of sports (Fly Eagles Fly!). Either way, I bring that same quick-thinking, go-with-the-flow approach to every wedding, elopement, and session.
I feel most at home chasing golden light in the mountains, kayaking on Lake Tahoe, or carving fresh powder after a big snowstorm. My style? A mix of photojournalism and storytelling. The best moments aren’t just about how they look but how they feel—the quiet in-betweens, the uncontrollable laughter, the deep breaths before the big moments. I’ll be there to capture it all, from the tiniest details to the big, bold memories you’ll relive forever.
And when I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me snuggling my corgi, rewatching Vanderpump Rules, or belting out Miranda Lambert on a long drive. Country music is my forever fave—but give me some ‘90s pop or reggae, and I’m set.
“Lisa and her team were absolutely fabulous! Incredibly accommodating, faded into the crowd and got some beautiful shots! She is also hilarious so she kept the laughs and good vibes rollin!”
