Elevated Western Weddings + Elopements for NorCal + Tahoe

Your wedding day is one of the few days in your life when everyone you love is in one place. I'm Jacque, a western wedding photographer based in Redding, and I photograph weddings and elopements across Northern California, Lake Tahoe, and Reno. Fifteen years as a model taught me how to help you feel comfortable and look your best, so you can stay present with each other while I capture the day naturally. What you'll have afterward is a gallery of timeless, film-inspired photographs your family will treasure for generations.

Portraits

Engagements, anniversaries, and the first Christmas card with kids. Call me for every season, because the ordinary days are the ones you'll miss most.

Elopements

Your vows, your favorite view, and a whole day to yourselves. Mountain peaks, Tahoe shorelines, a quiet stretch of ranch land, or wherever feels like home.

Weddings

Magazine-worthy portraits of the two of you and every real moment in between, from getting ready to the very last goodbye. You'll have a gallery that feels like the whole day, not just the highlights.

AUTHENTICITY // INTENTIONALITY // LEGACY // DEVOTION // KINDNESS // PRESENCE //

Warm, film-inspired, and honest. Magazine-worthy portraits, happy tears, and the aunt who went rogue during speeches all make the cut.

I didn’t grow up with a big family around the table, so I pay close attention to yours. The grandparents holding hands, the cousins who flew in, the kids who will be all grown up soon. Photography is how I get to be part of something bigger than myself.

Fifteen years of modeling taught me angles and posture, and my faith taught me what’s worth holding onto on a wedding day. You’ll get portraits of you at your most beautiful, and a gallery your kids will pull out someday to relive it with you.
