Client notes
- Yesenia & Tanner C.
“Svanna is seriously the best, and choosing her as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at home. It never felt awkward or overly “business-like” it honestly felt like hanging out with a friend who just happens to be insanely talented."
- Courtney & Connor E.
“Svanna is truly an exceptional photographer and an absolute joy to work with. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable—almost like we were part of her family. That warmth shines through in every photo she takes, and it made our wedding day feel even more special.
- Samantha & Zachary
"Svanna made my entire wedding a breeze and captured moments I’ll never forget. Her and her husband are an incredible team and it was an honor to have them apart of my day. They are kind and mild and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera “

MEET SVANNA
I'm a West Coast photographer married to my high school sweetheart and mom, roles that shape how deeply I value connection, presence, and the fleeting seasons of life.
Beyond photography, I am a combat sports competitor who loves stepping into the ring and surprising people with that side of me.
The balance between softness and strength influences how I see the world and how I capture love. I am endlessly inspired by vintage cameras, film, and Super8, drawn to the nostalgia and history they carry and to creating images that feel timeless, artistic, and full of meaning.
