For California couples who value artistry

You’re not interested in a wedding that blends in.

And you're not planning a shoot list disguised as a celebration. You're looking for something that feels lived-in, cinematic, and unmistakably yours — a day that holds space for joy, movement, and connection.

California offers the kind of visual depth most places dream about.

Morning light in the hills. Golden haze over the Pacific. Mid-century lines in Palm Springs, vineyard romance in Napa, and every modern, iconic, or wild thing in between. But it takes the right eye to translate that into something meaningful. Something that doesn’t just look beautiful — it feels like you.

Because you're not just here for wedding photos.

You're here to build something timeless. Your first heirloom.

WHICH IS WHERE WE COME IN

Over the last decade, we’ve photographed weddings up and down California — from sun-drenched coastal cliffs to historic estates and tucked-away vineyards — and what we’ve learned is this:

It’s never just about the backdrop.

It’s the golden light pouring through eucalyptus trees during your vows.
The split-second glance you exchange before walking into the reception.
The laughter that echoes off canyon walls or city rooftops.

California gives us endless beauty. But what makes it memorable is you.

The feeling.
The pace.
The quiet moments no one else saw — but you’ll never forget.

We’re here to photograph it all with care, depth, and unmistakable style..

YOU’RE in the RIGHT PLACE / YOU'RE in the RIGHT PLACE

IF YOu'RE LOOKING FOR

A photographer who captures nuance, not noise

Images that feel editorial without losing intimacy

A visual narrative that mirrors your emotional one

A collaborative process that values intention over trends

THE AMARI MARIE

WEDDING EDIT

HAS ARRIVED

We don’t believe in trend-chasing timelines or Pinterest copy-pastes. We believe in creating a day with breathing room — built around lighting, intention, and space to feel.

Your story deserves more than “nice photos.” It deserves imagery that reveals the in-between. The real. The beautifully real.

01

Trust the Process


Magic doesn’t happen from micro-managing. It happens from trust. When you let go, we’re free to do our best work on your behalf.

02

Prioritize Time & Light


The best images need both space and softness. We help you build a timeline around light and breathing room to ensure your story unfolds with ease.

03

Don’t Perform, Just Feel


You don’t need to pose. You need to feel. Our approach is hands-on when it matters, invisible when it doesn’t. We bring a calming, confident energy so you can stay fully present. No awkward staging, no interruptions.

Artful storytelling for the kind of love that doesn’t beg to be seen — but is unforgettable when it is.


Because this isn’t just a wedding — it’s the beginning of your legacy.

Every couple we work with is intentionally chosen. Begin by filling out our inquiry form with thoughtful detail — tell us not just when and where, but how you want your wedding to feel. We take on a very limited number of weddings per year to ensure each story is told with care and depth.
