I’m a storyteller who believes in the small moments being the important ones.
Photography has been a passion since I learned how to develop film in high school. I love to ski, snowboard, hike, kayak and explore new locations. I collect plants and love to be surrounded by nature.
I pair best with couples who seek adventure and give me their trust to capture intimate moments. From the wind in your hair to the way your hand reaches for your partner and the real way you embrace. I will be by your side all day, from lifting your dress so you can pee to patting down that stray piece of hair, let’s be friends while we do it! I love what I do and I pour myself into my craft. I would be honored to join you !
I used to be a nurse and I have a bachelors in Psychology. I bring a book almost everywhere I go and am constantly tripping over my own feet. I cant dance but often try, I love CCR, Bush, Jimi and Bruce Springsteen.

HI, I ‘M
FLORA
ELOPEMENT & WEDDINGS PHOTOGRAPHER
I feel the most inspired by wide open rugged landscapes and small intimate moments.
” We’re all so frightened by time, the way it moves on and the way things disappear. That’s why we’re photographers. We’re preservationists by nature. We take pictures to stop time, to commit moments to eternity. Human nature made tangible. “- Kodachrome
Thinking of eloping but don’t know where to start? I got you!
From an all day adventure to an intimate ceremony cliff side I can help you craft your perfect day.
My approach
I love the way my husband reaches for my hand on long road trips, the way we roll our eyes when our kids are being absolutely insane, and my husbands big bear hugs! I want to capture those small, sometimes funny, sometimes sweet moments between you and your partner.
The ones you can see yourself in.
I grew up in Monterey exploring Big Sur, Tahoe, and the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m a big time skier and snowboarder, I’m married to my middle school sweetheart and I love adventure. My dad was never short on road trip ideas and I have a massive love for national parks, the moon, the outdoors, and polaroids. I became a photographer because I have always felt that photos are the best souvenirs of any moment I want to remember.
