About Me
Hey, I'm Mae
A storyteller with a camera, a lover of golden light, and someone who genuinely tears up at every first look.
My Story
More Than Just a Photographer
Photography found me during a backpacking trip through Europe in 2015. I was sitting in a small café in Lisbon, watching an elderly couple share a quiet moment over coffee, and something clicked -- both in me and on my camera.
Since then, I've dedicated my life to capturing the in-between moments -- the stolen glances, the happy tears, the belly laughs that make your cheeks hurt. The moments that are easy to miss but impossible to forget.
When I'm not behind a camera, you'll find me hiking with my golden retriever, Juniper, exploring local coffee shops, or planning my next adventure. I'm a firm believer that the best photographs happen when you stop performing and start living.
I'd love for you to feel like you're working with a friend on your big day -- someone who knows your love story, cares deeply about your vision, and will move heaven and earth to deliver images that take your breath away.
My Approach
What You Can Expect
Connection First
I believe the best photos happen when you feel genuinely comfortable. My approach starts with getting to know you -- your story, your quirks, what makes you laugh.
Artful Documentation
I blend fine art direction with candid documentary style. The result? Photos that feel both intentional and authentically you.
Adventure Ready
Mountain tops at sunrise, forest trails at golden hour, city rooftops at dusk -- I'll go wherever your story takes us.
Worldwide
Based in San Francisco, CA, but I travel to wherever love takes me. Destination elopements and weddings are my specialty.
"I don't just take photos. I create a space where you can be fully yourselves, and then I capture the magic that unfolds."
