Hi! I’m Nadine!
Congratulations on your engagement and stepping into one of the most special seasons of life ever. I have been capturing weddings on the Central Coast of California for almost 10 years. Throughout this time, I have learned that connecting with my couples and getting to know them for who they are is of the utmost importance. My approach to photography is warm, dreamy, funky, authentic, comfortable, lighthearted, and fun. I emphasize movement over stiff poses and genuine emotion over anything contrived. I love love stories and am so honored to have the chance to capture yours. Wedding planning is such a special, personal, and fun season...but it can be stressful or vulnerable at times. It’s crucial to me to provide valuable wedding expertise, a grounding presence amidst the whirl of the season, and to create space for you to to genuinely enjoy each other and remember what this is all about. The two of you share a uniquely beautiful relationship and it’s obvious you’re planning a magical day to represent that. Of course, you want the day to be captured naturally, authentically, and beautifully.
That’s where I come in!
I am beyond honored that you are considering me to document your magic. Here’s what you can expect from me on your best day ever.
Expect to feel comfortable and like yourself in front of the camera:
“Nadine was a dream to work with! From the start, she gave us peace of mind and confidence that every moment was going to be perfectly shot. For being people that are camera shy, her personality helped both my husband and I feel comfortable and excited to be in front of the camera. Nadine also really connects with you and makes you feel as though you have been friends for a very long time which is truly such an amazing quality.”

What to Expect from Nadine

Professional Expert Knowledge: I can support you with your timeline, styling, vendor recommendations, and assisted planning through our consults. With mini-weddings and elopements, I am even more hands-on and can help with things like permitting and location scouting.
Basically: My goal is to get to know you so that on your wedding day, you are perfectly comfortable and excited to be in front of the camera— ready to be yourself and enjoy your day. Your wedding is a huge deal and as the vendor who spends the most time with you, your photographer needs to be someone who can cheer you on, know your needs, and bring a peaceful presence.

Unlimited 35mm & 120mm film and digital photos captured (why would I put a limit on your magic?)

Cheering you on and reminding you how amazing you are
Reminders of mindfulness and breathing to keep you present on your big day (it’s SO EASY to get swept up in the day and forget to slow down and enjoy)
