custom art is an investment
After helping my couples plan countless elopements and weddings, I know first hand the amount of time, energy and resources that goes into making your dream elopement/wedding day happen. You’re investing a whole lot to get every last detail just right, so it’s important to have a wedding photographer who can artfully capture the meticulously planned magic every step of the way. Who can make you feel seen and also give you the space to be alone, together to experience your wedding day/elopement weekend. Who actively subverts the cishet norms and traditions that dominate far too many wedding galleries. Who shows up inspired to make custom art about your love based on the feelings/the light/the humans /the music/the water/the trees. Who will be the first on the dancefloor and dance the night away with you and your closest people. You deserve someone who is every single thing you want because it’s your mfing WEDDING (omg I’m already so excited). When you hire me, I want you to feel like this message I received after delivering an album from an intimate weekend long wedding celebration in San Francisco —
“HOLY SHIT, HALLE!!!!!!! These are so amazing!!!!!!! We tried to call you so that you can hear our cries/screams but we can’t wait so a message will have to do! YOU ARE SO FREAKIN TALENTED WE CANNOT EVEN HANDLE IT!!!! These pics are so amazing and they took us back through a whirlwind few days and helped us relive it from a new, thoughtful place...we are so happy to have these memories documented in such a beautiful, artistic way. At the same time you made the photos feel more like living reminders of our love rather than static memories of the past. The feelings represented by them feel so present. And your work is just visually stunning. You are so incredible at seeing the beauty that exists in every inch of the world— human and nature. It's a privilege to see the world through your eyes...going through those pics opened our eyes to the beauty of that weekend that we maybe couldn't see as clearly at the time. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! You are the best and we are so lucky you were able to be with us that weekend. It just brings tears to our eyes to see how you so get us...I don't know how that's possible...you have an amazing gift. Your intuition and ability to connect with the world around you exists on a different level than most people...we are so lucky to know you and be witness to your amazing talent and heart!!”

“Halle is one of those people who can find a way to immediately connect to everyone and everything around them, from adults to dogs to babies to nature. They have a natural ability to read people as well as the environment they’re in and we think this is what makes them such a wonderful destination wedding photographer. We took a risk hiring a photographer who had never been to San Francisco before, but we’re so glad we did! Halle rose above the cliches you often see in SF wedding and engagement photos, so many of which cause the couple to be dwarfed by the city’s amazing sights. Instead, they focused on the energy we had as a couple and used their fresh perspective of the city’s mood and beauty to frame us. They were very open to suggestion, but we honestly deferred to them the vast majority of the time because their artistic eye is so sharp, thoughtful, and insightful. Predictably, the SF weather was problematic, but Halle never got discouraged and they worked SO FAST that they amazingly managed to make the wind and fog work to their advantage before it destroyed our hair! We are both shy to get our photo taken, but you would never know it from the photos Halle took. They made us feel so comfortable and their direction was so gentle that we honestly sometimes would just get lost in the moment and forget we were “posing.” In fact our time taking photos with Halle made for some of the most romantic times we shared during our wedding weekend! We would absolutely recommend Halle to anyone getting married or wanting photos taken for any reason anywhere! They are a fearless and smart traveler. Halle is open and genuine in their interactions and that clearly translates to their photography. They are extremely trustworthy and self-sufficient, which we think is also very important for travel photography. Halle is a true Earth Mama— they are in tune with their surroundings, so they can blend in wherever, but they also have a quiet strength about them that makes you feel like you can depend on them to get the job done, no matter the circumstance. This is what they did for us and we are so grateful to them for it!”
“When my husband and I got engaged and it was time to start thinking of hiring a photographer, Halle was a no brainer. Halle’s ability to capture moments as they organically unfold is what drew me to their work. Halle photographed our engagement and wedding day and I can honestly say that these photos will always live nestled in a very tender place in my heart. Halle’s passion for connecting with others bleeds into their work which made our photo sessions with them comfortable and deeply enjoyable. Halle has an eye for the tender moments that you only thought existed in memories until you relive them in photographs. Halle poured their heart and soul into capturing and beautifully portraying our special milestones and we will forever be grateful. I would highly recommend Halle to anyone who wishes to see the beauty in their life through an outside view.”
