ENGAGEMENT COLLECTION

WEDDING COLLECTION

BROOKE HERE! And I am SO happy that you're interested in learning about me, my work and WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT!

Welcome! I am so happy to have you here!

A bit about me... I have been in love with art and all things creative for as long as I can remember, and now, getting to use that love of art and beauty with my camera in hand is everything. I adore seeing the smiles on my crazy-in-love couple's faces, adventuring with them, and converting lovely memories into photographs.

We are a family business (You can see a glimpse of us with our daughter to the right). Wedding days are all captured by MYSELF and my husband, DEVON.

We love all things adventure and fun. My husband and I have always gravitated towards doing things together. Photography has proven to be no exception. We adore the adventure engagements and the long beautiful wedding days. Although we miss our daughter when we're at work, we feel so honored to support couples who are as in-love as we are.

Ciera & Cody ♥️

These two chose this location because it’s special to them. They live here, and Cody is in charge of management of the property. They had their first dreamy kiss here, and now they’ve had their engagement photos here. Honestly, what a dream to be so close to such a beautiful property and vineyard with such special memories. Just Gorgeous.

Side note: The best part of Engagement Sessions (aside from finally giving my brides and grooms a hug for the first time) is that I get to learn everything my clients DO (and don’t) enjoy in front of the camera.

It varies couple to couple and it is so valuable as the photographer to have that time before the wedding with them. It is also the perfect way to have each Bride and Groom warm up to me, my posing and prompts before the wedding too. 😉

Hi to all the new faces here 👋 So happy to have you!
I’m Brooke! I post images from my portrait and wedding photography along with the occasional life post or silly/informative reel. I work with wonderful people in my industry and am so in love with what I do!
I am also suuuuper into all things color, being a mom to my spirited daughter and a solid partner to my husband/ assistant/second shooter, Devon (who, you guessed it, took the first photo).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am also a major advocate for taking care of your mental health and how to hack my adhd brain into doing all the things (this is an on-going journey).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe in God and in the love and freedom of the LGBTQ+ community, Black Lives Matter and me too movements (yes, I believe I can be for all four). I will always do my best to serve the village I’m building, and now that includes you! So welcome! I’m so happy to have you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can scroll to see the shots I was taking of miss Jenny (isn’t she so pretty?!) here! >>>>
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I will be posting more often on my stories (come hang out!) and on my page! I’m in the process of adding to my team, which is giving me a lot my freedom. So excited! ♥️

I cannot tell you enough how wonderful bride and groom sessions are! Truly wonderful. If there is ever a chance to do an additional shoot, dressed up in your wedding clothes again, please go for it. This session was an absolute blast last year, and I’m kicking myself for not sharing more from it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kate and Chris knocked my (and all of downtown Sacramento’s) socks off at their anniversary session. We were hooted and whistled and cheered. No one knew they’d already been married for nearly a year. People just wanted to wish them well. It was awesome!
I’m so glad we made it happen. And look! Ugh! When I tell you it was hard to have a favorite shot, I mean it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay, I’m going to stop gushing and get my kiddo ready for bed. Seriously though, I’m looking to do more of these. So hit me up when you’re ready. 😉

Happy Engagement Season y’all!

I love Rebecca and Jack’s engagement images, and I knew I had to share them before the holiday season disappears (Although in our home we’ve decided to extend our celebrating and decor through at least January 😂).

Our goal wasn’t to have a lot of Christmas decor highlighted throughout their gallery, but it was a lovely touch to mark the time of year here and there, and the extra garden lights were lovely to have.

I know these will make a lovely keepsake to remember their first Holiday season betrothed to each other before tying the knot in 2022 ♥️

Filoli is absolutely gorgeous, and I am so happy to have gotten a chance to run around the property with these two during the best light of the day. Thank you Rebecca and Jack, your connection is special and we are so excited for your wedding next year.

Pretty Amanda 😍
Let’s talk about retouching and edits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do an edit to every image I deliver. I focus on the colors in each set of images; is the skin warm, does it need some smoothing, or do I need to balance the greens between the cooler and warmer tones throughout? Is there a standout color that I can enhance?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After I am happy with an image’s colors I move on to retouching. Not every image needs extra love, but sometimes to make my “hero” shots pop, I will give some extra love to a couple’s skin (Amanda’s skin was lovely here), or add an effect to make the light even more beautiful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think the post processing of a gallery is what really sets photographers apart. And of course always having a willingness to grow and learn. Investing in education that can build you as an artist and as a technician (so much of photography focuses on using your gear and tech well). Let me know if there is a course you’re loving below? Or if there is something you pick up on recently that has made a difference to you, I’d love to hear it. ♥️

Don’t you just want to stay a weekend here? Tips for planning an elopement below.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This spot was at an elopement about a year ago. The couple rented out a beautiful Airbnb in Sonoma County. I’m still swooning with the beautiful seasonal vibes. 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Three tips for eloping:
1. Start planning early! Make a short list of locations you would be into getting married, and the time of year that would best suit your dream images.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Decide if an Airbnb or traditional Hotel is best for you. Many locations are a-okay with a pop up wedding, you just need to let them know. Or if you want to do something a bit more out there with an adventure hike and scenic views, you can look into getting a guide. (City hall elopements are a wonderful option too!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Reach out to your dream photographer ASAP. I can’t tell you how heartbreaking it is when we have to tell someone no because we already have their date booked. So reach out as quick as you can! ♥️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Now that you have an idea of what options you love, and what they generally cost, it’s time to budget! (You could really do this as step three, but then you risk under budgeting for your photography.) Knowing what is most important to you is going to be massive for this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those are my four main tips for planning an elopement! Let me know if there is something you’re concerned on for your planning and I’ll pull from what I know to help. 🥰
