San Francisco Nature-Inspired Wedding Photo And Video

Chase life. Choose happy ♥

Let’s kick off the first chapter of your married life with intention.
A day rooted in joy, presence, and connection.
A day about choosing your own happy—not meeting expectations.

Weddings come with a lot of pressure.
At some point, the most meaningful thing you can do is slow down, tune out the noise, and honor what feels true to you.

There is a happy place for you here, deep in the wild, beautiful corners of California.
A place where you can breathe, move, laugh, dance, and celebrate without feeling watched or rushed.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement immersed in nature or a larger wedding where celebrating with who matters to you the most, this is about staying present—and having the story held in a way that brings you right back to it.

Come with me — I promise it’s more fun than it sounds.

My Services

I offer photo and video for elopements and intimate weddings, and videography-only coverage for larger celebrations—always with the same focus on presence, connection, and joy.

Let’s Clear Something Up

Before we talk about how to get married, let’s talk about what weddings are supposed to be.

True or false?

Bigger always
means better

Stress is just
part of the deal

Rushing through
the day is necessary

Being fully present
is optional

If your answer is NO to all of these, trust that instinct!

The truth is, weddings don’t have to feel overwhelming, performative, or rushed to be meaningful. There is a different way—one that prioritizes joy, presence, and connection over expectations. You’re not alone in feeling this way.

Hey, I’m Charlotte

Nature-inspired photographer and videographer, already hyped up on caffeine today and ready to help you focus on your experience-first wedding day!

It’s not all that uncommon for me to show up to your wedding day even more excited than you. Honest – even without the caffeine I have a lot of energy. It’s contagious, so this is your fair warning if you’re allergic to a good time!

If you’re here, chances are you don’t want a wedding that feels like a performance. You want it to feel joyful, intentional, and true to you—whether that looks like an intimate elopement in nature or a celebration with the people you love most.

That’s where guidance can make all the difference.

I’m known for bringing steady guidance, contagious energy, and a lot of heart into wedding days—helping couples relax, be themselves, and actually enjoy the experience they’re creating. I believe your wedding day should feel like freedom, not permission-seeking.

With thoughtful planning, experience in nature-forward celebrations, and a deep care for how the day feels, I help couples slow down, tune out the noise, and celebrate in a way that feels genuinely theirs.

Take a breath, and hit that dopamine with me!

Real words from couples who chose presence over pressure

“It felt like reliving our whole day—without the anxiety. We’d get married a thousand times just to work with her again.”
- Jennifer Ford
“Over the past year, Charlotte supported us, guided us, and made wedding planning genuinely fun. Having her there felt like having a close friend by our side—and when we received the photos, it was like experiencing the day all over again.”
- Thuy Truong
“We were able to fully trust everything and just enjoy ourselves. The experience felt natural, joyful, and completely us.”
- JR New

The choice you get to make

You can plan a wedding that feels rushed, performative, and full of expectations. A day that flies by while you’re busy managing timelines, people, and pressure.

or

You can choose a wedding day that feels intentional. One where you’re present, connected, and actually enjoying the people you love. A day that feels like yours, not something you’re trying to get through.

There’s no right or wrong way to get married. But there is a way that feels aligned with who you are—and how you want to remember this chapter of your life.

Choosing differently doesn’t mean doing less.
It means choosing what matters

A few things you might be wondering

A few answers, in case you’re still wondering
  Do you only work with elopements?

That’s completely okay. Most couples don’t. You don’t need a location, a timeline, or a clear plan before reaching out—just a sense of how you want your day to feel. From there, you’ll get as much guidance and support as you need, without overwhelm.
