ROMANTIC CINEMATIC FILM INSPIRED
MY STYLE
I blend cinematic natural imagery with a gentle vintage inspired touch to capture everything from the quiet emotional moments to the loud joyful ones. I guide you with calm encouraging direction so you never feel stiff or unsure and I read the energy of the day to know when to step in and when to let moments unfold on their own.
I believe your photos should look and feel the way your love does. My approach is rooted in emotional storytelling and connection driven direction. I use thoughtful prompts to help you relax into each moment while keeping everything natural and true to color. I capture the glances the tears and the small interactions that make your story meaningful because these are the memories you will want to relive again and again.
I’m Svanna a West Coast photographer who believes your love story deserves to be documented with warmth, intention, and honesty. My journey into photography began after my own wedding when my husband and I left with only one blurry photo of our first kiss. That ache shaped everything about the way I photograph now. I’m deeply protective of my couples and committed to making sure you walk away with images that feel like the day you lived.
My approach blends cinematic natural imagery with vintage nostalgia, guiding you gently while letting real moments unfold. I’m a wife, mom, and combat sports competitor who finds beauty in the balance of softness and strength. I love old cameras, Super8 film, and anything that carries history and emotion.
Above all I want you to feel seen, supported, and completely yourselves. I advocate for your vision, create calm where you need it, and document the connection that makes your love yours. If you feel everything and want your photos to reflect that we will be a perfect fit.

Inquiry & Connection
We begin with a conversation to make sure we’re aligned in vision, aesthetic, and approach.
I plan with the way moments feel in mind, allowing photography to blend seamlessly into your day rather than lead it.
Moments are gently guided, carefully observed, and preserved exactly as they are lived.
A carefully curated collection of images that feel cinematic, warm, and true to your story.
I love the look and feel of vintage film and Super8 and I offer these as optional additions to your wedding coverage. Film brings a softness and depth that feels timeless and Super8 adds movement nostalgia and emotion in a way that digital alone cannot. These additions are perfect for couples who want their gallery to feel warm artistic and full of memory rich texture.

“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.

"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 “
INQUIRE FOR YOUR DATE
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.
From our engagement session all the way through our wedding day, we laughed nonstop. She has such a fun, calming energy and makes being in front of the camera feel so natural. Because of that, our sessions were relaxed and enjoyable, and the photos reflect that perfectly."
