Your wedding day unfolds through moments that pass quickly but stay with you forever. I document the laughter, the stillness, and the emotion in between, preserving the connection and joy of marrying your best friend as it truly felt. My approach blends gentle guidance with documentary storytelling so your images reflect the day naturally, beautifully, and with heart.
Choosing to make your day intimate is never something you have to apologize for. Your elopement deserves to be documented with meaning and care. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a cliffside, in the forest, or somewhere sacred to you, I’m here to capture the emotion behind every moment.
I’m a wedding and elopement photographer who loves to travel while capturing love stories with a cinematic, nostalgic touch. As a mom, wife, high-school sweetheart, and lover of all things vintage and film, I bring a warm, laid-back energy that helps you feel at ease and fully yourself. My goal is to guide you gently, notice the moments that matter, and create images that feel like memories the moment you see them.
A blend of cinematic mood and true connection. Every glance, touch, and breath-of-a-moment photographed and recorded exactly as it felt.
Super 8 adds movement, texture, and nostalgia in a way nothing else can. Shot on real film, it captures your moments with soft grain, gentle flicker, and an imperfect beauty that feels like memory itself. It is intimate, emotional, and timeless, bringing your story to life as something felt, not just seen.
I am Svanna, a West Coast wedding and elopement photographer creating cinematic emotional images for couples who love deeply. I am married to my high school sweetheart, a mom, a combat sports competitor, and someone who sees beauty in both the soft moments and the bold ones. My love for vintage cameras and film inspires everything I create. I want your photos to feel warm real and timeless, like memories you can step back into.
My approach is calm guided and centered around connection. I help you relax into the moment and I know when to step in with direction or when to let a moment unfold naturally. I photograph weddings with intention because I know what it feels like to not have the photos you wish you had. I am here to make sure your day is documented with care and authenticity so you can relive it for years to come.

“Svanna is seriously the best, and choosing her as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at home. It never felt awkward or overly “business-like” it honestly felt like hanging out with a friend who just happens to be insanely talented."
- Courtney & Connor E.
“Svanna is truly an exceptional photographer and an absolute joy to work with. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable—almost like we were part of her family. That warmth shines through in every photo she takes, and it made our wedding day feel even more special.
