Wedding photography
based
in California.
Capturing the mood, the elegance, and the quiet reverence of your sacred union.
I document the unscripted, raw moments of your celebration. If your jaw isn’t on the floor when you receive your digital photos (luckily I have a good track record!), then I didn’t do my job.
My photography is for romantics like me — capturing the stolen glances and the instances that don’t need words.
You’re the stand outs in this portfolio.
Overlooking the ocean or beneath giant redwoods, you’re always the focal point.
Hello, I’m Ruth.
I’m a total sucker for romance. Honestly, I think that’s what drew me to shoot weddings. It’s hard to describe the feeling of living inside of someone’s fairytale in real time. You know that each detail was intentionally picked — from a single flower to the color of the table cloths set under the twinkle lights. When I see that couple’s vision come to life and I get to be the one to capture them at the center of it all… it’s sort of my favorite thing.
I don’t just see the world in textures, colors, and light, but I feel them. I make the small details feel big, and the quiet moments feel noticed. I work seamlessly in the background, gathering all of the images that will piece together the story of your dream wedding.
Investment
It doesn’t matter if it’s just the two of you eloping in the Redwood forest, or if you’re bringing 200 of your friends to celebrate until dawn, if you’re in California I want to photograph your love story.
Kind words
“What I loved best about the prints was that Ruth was able to freeze time in some of the small and most memorable moments of our day.”
“Not only was Ruth a joy and so easy to work with, the prints feel so timeless and romantic. I’ll treasure them forever.”
“I can’t stop looking at the gallery of photos that Ruth sent us. She is remarkably talented and you can’t put a value on these images from our best day ever.”
The intimate stories of stunning weddings.
From tearful mornings to champagne long into the night — whole wedding days, told the way I lived them behind the camera.
