COUPLES SESSION — LAKE TAHOE & YOSEMITE

A couples session isn’t a performance. It’s an hour or two, somewhere quiet, just the two of you — and a chance to see what working together actually feels like.

Let's plan this session

WHAT TO EXPECT

Nothing here is staged.

We pick a place that feels like you — a beach at golden hour, a quiet trail, somewhere with no one else around — and let the time move at its own pace. No rigid posing, no shot list to follow. Just two people, together, the way you actually are.

Some couples come to me already engaged, wanting something to hold onto before the wedding. Others come here first — to see how I work, before deciding if I’m the one they want documenting their elopement.

SESSIONS

Three ways to spend the time.

 

$550 starting

The Moment

1 hour · Photo only

A short session, just enough time to be somewhere quiet together. We talk beforehand about the spot — yours if you have one in mind, mine if you’d like a suggestion — then spend the hour there, unposed and unrushed. Sneak peek within 48 hours, full gallery in 2–3 weeks.

Includes:

1 hr · Photo only · Planning call · 48-hr sneak peek · Gallery in 2–3 wks

 

$950 starting

The Moment, Extended

2 hours · Photo only

More time, more room to move through a place rather than just stand in it. We’ll talk through the location together beforehand — a spot you already love, or somewhere I think would fit you. Sneak peek within 48 hours, full gallery in 2–3 weeks.

Includes:

2 hrs · Photo only · Planning call · 48-hr sneak peek · Gallery in 2–3 wks

 

$1,200 starting

The Moment + Film

2 hours · Photo and 35mm film

The same two hours, documented in two ways — digital for the full story, film for the moments that deserve to be held a little longer. Location is yours to choose or mine to suggest, decided together beforehand. Sneak peek within 48 hours, full gallery in 2–3 weeks.

Includes:

2 hrs · Photo + 35mm film · Planning call · 48-hr sneak peek · Gallery in 2–3 wks

NOT READY TO ELOPE YET?

That’s exactly what this is for.

Some couples start here. A couples session is a quiet way to see how I work — no performance, no posing, just you, before the bigger day comes.
