Celebrating Your Love, Your Way—Captured with Heart.

For those who seek a celebration that’s as unique as their love, an intimate elopement or destination wedding offers a rare opportunity to break free from tradition and create a day that is entirely your own. If the idea of being the center of attention or managing the stress of a large event doesn’t resonate with you, you’re not alone—and choosing something different is nothing short of extraordinary. Whether you’re escaping to a remote, breathtaking location just the two of you, or gathering your closest loved ones at a venue that feels as intimate as it is unforgettable, your wedding day should reflect the beauty and authenticity of your journey together.

We’ve received so many compliments on the photos. We appreciate how special you made our day and we had so much fun with you.

your personalized experience with me

"We had an amazing adventure elopement in Maui! Not only did Syd take AMAZING photos of us, she helped us pick locations and other details to create our perfect wedding day and was wonderful to work with. She was very flexible with timing and we were able to experience different parts of the island with stunning photos from each location. We love all of our photos, thank you so much Sydney for perfectly capturing our day, we couldn't be happier!"

"The amount of time and effort she put into researching locations, restaurants, Airbnb’s etc., was incredible. She helped make our day stress free. Meeting her was even better than expected. She’s so down to earth and talented. It was like spending the entire day with a friend...I couldn’t say enough nice things about her as a person or photographer. Our photos are better than I ever could have imagined."
