Bay Area wedding photographer, wife, dog mom, studio founder, & lifelong observer of the moments that connect us.

Hey Honey —

I'm Anna.

East Bay Wedding Photographer

The older I get, the more I realize photographs become less about what happened, and more about who was there.

Long before I ever photographed a wedding, I was fascinated by people. The way families interact. The traditions we carry forward. The quiet moments that often say more than the big ones ever could.

Photography became the perfect intersection of everything I loved—storytelling, connection, creativity, and preserving the moments that time inevitably asks us to let go of.

Today, that perspective shapes every wedding I photograph. Because while your wedding is one extraordinary day, the photographs you take home become part of your family's story for decades to come.

I've become a wife. A mother. Someone who understands even more deeply how quickly seasons pass and how precious ordinary moments become.

Now, when I photograph a wedding, I don't just see a couple. I see future anniversaries. Children flipping through albums. Parents growing older.Friends whose laughter you'll want to hear again decades from now.

I see the beginning of a lifelong legacy. And that perspective changes everything.

My story began as a hopeless romantic, in love with photographing love stories while waiting for my own.

Years ago, I found myself drawn to photographing weddings and couples while I was quietly hoping for a love story of my own.

There was something incredibly moving about witnessing two people choose and commit to each other while surrounded by the people who had helped shape their lives. I wasn't simply documenting beautiful celebrations, I was witnessing the beginning of a family's next chapter.

Since then, life has changed in big and beautiful ways.

let's tell your story

The best photographs happen when you're busy living the moment.

You deserve to laugh through cocktail hour instead of wondering where your photographer is taking you next. To hug your grandparents one more time without worrying whether someone captured it. To hear every toast, dance with your friends, and soak in the feeling of having everyone you love gathered in one place.

That's why my approach blends documentary storytelling with gentle, thoughtful direction. I'll guide you whenever you need it, helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. But I'll also know when to step back, allowing moments to unfold naturally so your gallery reflects what the day actually felt like.

Because years from now, you won't remember every centerpiece.
You'll remember your people.

Beautiful photos should never come at the expense of experiencing your wedding.

A few things you should know...

I've been documenting weddings and love stories since 2012.

My background in fashion merchandising & creative production influences my editorial eye and attention to detail.

I'm a proud California girl who never gets tired of the coastline, wine country, or redwood forests.

I'm Filipino and Italian, so family, hospitality, traditions, & gathering around good food are woven into who I am.

I'm happiest with my husband and our fluffy sidekick, Buddy.

I still believe the best celebrations & the best photographs begin with choosing presence over perfection.

Equal parts calm presence and trusted guide.

Working together should feel effortless.From our first conversation to gallery delivery, my goal is to make you feel genuinely cared for.

That means helping build timelines that create breathing room, offering location recommendations, answering the little questions that pop up throughout planning, and giving just enough direction so you never wonder what to do, while making sure you never feel like you're performing for the camera.

On your wedding day, you'll find me anticipating moments before they happen, quietly documenting the interactions you didn't even realize were taking place, and stepping in confidently whenever guidance is needed.

It's an experience built around trust, hospitality, and helping you stay present.

what you can expect —

"Working with Anna was such an awesome experience, we can’t recommend her enough! We had very little experience in front of the camera but it didn’t matter. She knows how to make you look your best. On the wedding day we were able to just enjoy our day, trusting that she was there. You really can’t anticipate how many directions you will be pulled in on your wedding day and having Anna there was so centering. Anna met and exceeded all expectations and I would recommend her to any bride or groom. Picking a photographer is a hard decision but you won’t regret your investment!"

Meghan

"Exceeded all expectations."

"Anna is simply the best! She is on-time, communicative, friendly, and fun to work with, and made capturing our special events feel so natural and comfortable. On top of all of this, the photos are amazing - we have gotten SO many compliments from friends and family about them, and we're thrilled to have worked with Anna to capture them & be able to enjoy them forever."

Steph

"Simply the best!"

"She was amazing to work with. Not only was she super friendly, she was full of professional advice and helpful checklists. When we first spoke with her, we knew she was the right person because of her enthusiasm and energy. On the day of our wedding, she was so fun, super accommodating, and helped us feel prepared! She scouted really fun spots at the location for our pictures and guided us every step of the way. We are so glad to have found Anna and would highly recommend her services!"

Leanne

"Book this human!"

"Discovering Anna was the BEST decision I ever made! Personable, kind, and went above and beyond! She and her team were so prepared. I initially was so nervous about having professional photos taken, but she made us feel so comfortable. Throughout the whole process, she was there for me even for non-photo needs...she felt like a supportive best friend! The photos turned out so beautiful...I cried, my best friends cried, HECK, we all cried over how incredible everything turned out! I would hire her again for any future photos!"

Mimi

"Best decision ever!"

"She was warm, respected our boundaries, and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was captured perfectly. She worked with the videographer, stayed late, and even sent us some polaroids before the sneak peeks and full gallery. There are so many intangibles in working with a photographer that go beyond the quote and contract, but we found Anna to have exceeded them all! We would be most honored to work with her again in the near future!"

Tim

"Went above and beyond"
