‘Her kindness and attentiveness meant so much! The photos she captured were so natural and truly captured the essence of the day in the most beautiful way. My husband and I constantly look back at those pictures, and we’ll forever remember our wedding as the most perfect day.’

meet your photographer

I’m often somewhere between a quiet observer and a steady presence camera in hand, fully attentive to what’s unfolding in front of me.

I approach wedding days with intention, documenting not just how it looked, but how it felt to be there. These are the moments you’ll return to long after the day has passed.

Based in Sacramento, I photograph weddings throughout California and beyond always passport ready, always drawn to stories that feel honest and deeply lived in.

Lani was honestly the best photographer we could have asked for! She was so caring and always checking in with us leading up to the wedding, which made everything feel so personal and smooth. On the big day, she was our ultimate hype woman, making us feel totally at ease. *****

I'm a wedding planner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Lani for a wedding I planned, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! Her professionalism and creative eye brought an incredible energy to the day.

What impressed me most was her ability to connect with the couple and guests, making everyone feel at ease. The photos are breathtaking, perfectly capturing the essence of the day. If you’re looking for a photographer who can deliver both beautiful images and a positive experience, hire Lani! I cannot wait to work with her again in the future. *****
