It’s me, Charlotte!
and 4’10” of pure, unrelenting optimism coming straight at you
I’m someone who wears their whole heart on their sleeve. I’ve been told it’s infectious. But who wouldn’t want to catch a case of elopement day stoke? Joy SHOULD be contagious. Plus, if you want photo and video that you can feel, then the emotions have to be REAL.
So, I’m on a mission to keep the vibe sky high.
High energy, high emotion. High five!
(and yes, I really am 4’10” – that five really is high for me)
Be brave, break tradition, and follow your happy
I love elopements because they embrace radical self expression, and empower us to choose joy over judgment.
I was raised by two incredible working class parents in China. It makes me extremely proud to be a small business owner in America today. But you know the punch line…the expectations of Asian parents are INTENSE.
There is pressure to conform, and judgment when you don’t.
There are rules and norms and a growing list of people to impress.
Kind of like *drum roll* weddings.
I’m a free spirit trying to accept the things about me that don’t fit into little white boxes.
I guess what I’m saying is, whatever reason you have for eloping, I get it.
I’ve taken the rule-smashing empowerment of elopements, and applied it to my whole life.

Le Moment Capturer | now featuring Derek
LMC’s dedicated second shooter, videographer, and the
best job of them all: my dear partner
Derek brings his own artistic angle to Le Moment Capturer while aligning with me on the
most important parts of the job: making you laugh and keeping things fun.
He’s been to 39 countries across 5 continents, and hiked in 37 U.S. national parks. He also
grew up in Michigan under the wing of his dad, who was a State Park Ranger. His knowledge of
the outdoors, the flora and the fauna, has a way of bringing people even closer to nature. He’s
outdoorsy, soft hearted and a Leave No Trace warrior.
There isn’t much he’s not up for on your elopement day!
A harmonious duo, Le Moment Capturer
We’re chasing life in the moment with bare feet in the
sand and our hearts on our sleeves
Our deepest desire is to make your entire elopement day a joy filled journey of laughter and shenanigans. We don’t just show up and shoot. We show up to create an entire atmosphere of patience, empathy and fun so you can let loose and be yourselves.
We both share a passion for nature, the ocean and connecting deeply with the people in our lives. That includes the couples we work with!
Someday, we dream of buying a beachfront house in Baja and using it as a place to host intimate beach elopements, where couples can dive with whale sharks and spend hazy evenings in the sun.
Until then, northern California is our home, and we can’t wait to show you around.
You’re officially invited to chase life with us – are you in or are you in!?!
