Meet your Ca wedding PHOTOgraphy DREAM TEAM
We preserve the fleeting moments that would otherwise slip away forever
We’re Nico and Maddie—partners in life, love, and photography—based in Santa Cruz, California, but most at home on the road.
Living on the road in our van allows us to meet you where your love story takes you—whether that’s deep in the redwoods, out in the desert, or high in the mountains.
Because we’re always exploring, we know the hidden gems, the golden hour magic spots, and the quiet trails that feel like they were made just for you.
Our lifestyle gives us the freedom to scout locations in advance, adapt to changing weather or light, and fully immerse ourselves in your day. We’re not just showing up with a camera—we’re showing up with intention, care, and a deep love for the wild places where unforgettable memories are made.
"We were beyond satisfied with both Nico's and Maddie's work. "
Overall, these two were so fun to work with. All of my friends noted how they radiated warmth and a nice, relaxed "California cool" energy during the entire day. I never once felt awkward in front of the camera or felt rushed around or pressured. They could read exactly what we were looking for and nailed every shot. Cannot recommend them enough! <3

The Plan:
After receiving your inquiry We'll reach out via email to schedule a time when we can meet. This allows time to get to know each other and discuss some details about your day. After that, I'll send out a contract for both of us to sign and then collect a 50% deposit OR we can set up a payment plan.
Once all this is done, your date is officially on our books! We then help plan your elopement day to be exactly what you want.

The Memories:
Knowing that every couple is eager to see what we have captured, we'll send you some highlights of the day within 24 hours. A full gallery will follow 4-6 weeks after that. If I finish editing your gallery sooner, I will not hesitate to send it to you earlier.
