J’accepte la grande aventure d’être moi.

hey sweet friend, thanks for being here

my name is angelina

most days you can find me listening to an audiobook, baking another loaf of sourdough, or going on a walk with my family.

When it comes to photography, I live to document. I want to create imagery of your day as it happened, curating memories that are both artistic and authentic. I want to see your tears, your laughs, the hugs you give your grandparents after you say “I do”. These in between moments cannot be scripted, and I don’t want it to be that way. My style is true to color with a hint of warmth, and always timeless; photos that are always vulnerable, candid, and tell a story. I'm in this to tell YOUR story. I believe YOU have so much to offer this world. Your love story and legacy is so worthy of being told. Let me tell it.

About My

Approach

I'm here to make your special day everything you dreamed of

Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful moments of your life, and it deserves to be remembered with the same love and care you’ve poured into it. My approach blends the artistry of film with the precision of digital photography to create a balanced, timeless narrative of your day. Film brings a nostalgic warmth and depth, while digital provides structure and clarity, allowing me to capture both the spontaneous moments and the carefully composed portraits. I show up as a quiet observer, but I also step in to offer guidance where direction is needed, ensuring that your day flows naturally while still capturing the beauty and emotion of each moment. My goal is to document your story with a perfect mix of authenticity and artistry, providing you with images that feel both timeless and perfectly crafted.

"let me introduce you to my bride"

"Let me introduce you to my Bride"

The moment it clicked for me

years ago, i was about to meet a beloved patriarch in my husband's family, whom we call "popo". What he said changed my outlook on photography and documenting weddings.

After our formal introductions, Popo looked me in the eye and said,
"Let me introduce you to my bride."
He walked over to the mantle in his home and took down a 72-year-old wedding photo of him and his beautiful wife. In their smiles, I saw a lifetime of joy, laughter, and an enduring legacy. Though I would never meet his beloved Edna in this lifetime, that photo welcomed me into their family. Through the legacy she left behind in photographs, I came to know and admire a mother, grandmother, and friend.

This is what photography is all about. Edna’s inviting spirit, immortalized through images, is what I think of every time I press the shutter and load the film. These are the moments that will connect you to your future generations. It’s an honor to capture the love and legacy of your life, knowing that these photographs will continue to tell your story for years to come.

"Our photos did not feel staged, but felt more of a Documentation of our big day  and all our family"

Angelina photographed our wedding and our engagement session and from the start, she was so supportive and kind. We are so grateful for her work and for capturing these special memories in our lives. Our photos did not feel staged but felt more of a documentation of our big day and all our family. When I saw our final gallery, I knew that the photos were going to be some of the most cherished pictures that I have. Thank you for everything Angelina!

"I GOT TO MARRY MY BEST FRIEND AND all of the pictures show how much our love shines AND HOW WE SHINE WITH ONE ANOTHER."

I could go on for hours on how amazing Angelina is. From our engagement photos to our wedding she captured these moments so beautifully (while being 9 months pregnant). My husband and I are so blessed to have had her as our photographer. She is so personable and very organized when it comes down to it all. She had a plan for us and we got it all put together, and had such a fun time doing so. I received my photos last night and stayed up crying because of how perfect they all are and immediately had to get them out into the world. I got to marry my best friend and all of the pictures show how much our love shines and how we shine with one another. So I will 100% always be using Angelina to capture the sweet and important moments in our life, and you should too.
