you can call me Yumi

You can call me Yumi (you-me).

I’m the face and heart behind this business — a woman of faith, a storyteller, and a hopeless romantic who still tears up during wedding vows. I believe your love story deserves to be remembered with honesty, warmth, and reverence.

My journey started in 2016 chasing sunrises across Northern California, but I quickly fell in love with documenting couples and the sacred covenant of marriage.

When you work with me, you’re getting more than a photographer. I’ll bustle your dress, calm your nerves, make you laugh, and remind you of what matters most — that your wedding is the beginning of a lifelong promise.

If you’re looking for someone who will celebrate your love with intention and care, I’d be honored to tell your story.

Hey, Friend! I am so freakin' happy to have you here!

but let’s cut to the chase, lemme tell you why i'm different...

I run on coffee, country music, and keeping it real. I’m not about staged moments or forced smiles. I’m here to capture life as it actually feels: messy, joyful, and full of laughter. I love candid moments, quiet conversations, and the little things that make life feel alive.

And your wedding? You’ll find me on the dance floor with you...vibes high, boogying the night away, and soaking it all in.

MY BEST FRIENDS WOULD TELL YOU that i'm honest, bubbly, and laidback...

You’ve probably looked at a lot of photographers, so why me?

If you’re after warm, natural, and effortless photos (and want to feel comfortable, not awkward), you’re in the right place.

When you choose me, you’re getting someone who puts her heart into every detail. You’re not just a client, you’re family. My goal is simple: help you have the best day ever while creating timeless memories you’ll love for a lifetime.

I’m not just showing up with a camera; I’m showing up for you. I want to know your story, your quirks, your laugh. The moments that make your love uniquely yours.

Weddings can be overwhelming, but that’s where I come in. I’ll be your calm, your cheerleader, and the person making sure your day flows naturally while capturing it honestly.

Choosing me means choosing someone who cares deeply about your story and will photograph it with intention, heart, and joy.
