I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome to my blog — the spot where I get to slow down and share the stories behind the photos. You’ll find wedding days, engagement sessions, elopements, and all kinds of real-life love stories I’ve had the honor of capturing. I’ll be sharing a mix of personal favorites, things I’ve learned as a photographer, tips to help you prep for your own session, and resources I’ve created with my couples in mind.

Think of this as the behind-the-scenes journal of what I do. Whether you’re planning your wedding, booking a session, or just here to browse, I hope something here makes you feel more confident, inspired, or seen. Thanks for being here, I don’t take it for granted!

Hey there!! it's Jacque :)

Welcome

The best engagement photo locations in California aren’t always the most scenic — they’re the most meaningful. Here’s why choosing a location that tells your story matters more than chasing the view.
