Chelsea, I love everything about this.
Your celebration feels like the perfect blend of timeless tradition and vibrant San Diego. Beginning your day at The Immaculata, exploring some of the city's beautiful portrait locations, and celebrating the evening at BRICK sounds like such an incredible way to tell your story.
I've thoughtfully designed the collections in this proposal around the timeline you shared, including time for getting ready, your ceremony, portraits, and your celebration while still allowing you to enjoy cocktail hour with your guests. Whether you'd love portraits along the coastline at Sunset Cliffs, among the beautiful architecture surrounding your venue, or a combination of both, there are so many incredible opportunities to create photographs that feel uniquely San Diego.
My goal is to create beautiful, genuine photographs while giving you the freedom to be fully present and enjoy every moment with the people you love most.
Warmly, Maggie

What Our Couples Say.
"I had no doubt that our photos were going to be beautiful and perfect. The minute she arrived at the venue I felt completely confident in her and her team — so prepared, so organized, every single shot we requested."
The Experience.
Working with me isn't just about showing up with a camera. From our first conversation to the moment your gallery lands in your inbox, everything is intentional and unhurried.
Before your wedding day, we'll connect for a planning call — timeline, shot list, every detail mapped so your day flows and nothing gets missed.
On the day itself, my team and I arrive ready. You won't have to think about a single thing. I'll hype you up, ease your nerves, make you laugh — and the second something real starts to unfold, I go quiet, step back, and let it happen.
Because those are the moments no one can direct. Those are the ones that last forever.
Your gallery arrives fully edited, beautifully curated, and ready to relive — with print and album options to make it something you keep forever.

Custom Coverage Option
To help reduce your investment, I can provide a second photographer for the first five hours of your wedding day. This allows for simultaneous coverage of getting ready and your ceremony, with the possibility of also covering wedding party and family portraits depending on the timeline. After that, I'll continue documenting the remainder of your day on my own.
$300 off any two-photographer collection when booking this option.
Based on the timeline you've shared, the collections above include an estimated one-hour break in photography coverage between portraits and the reception. This break is not billable unless coverage is needed during that time. We'll finalize your timeline together as your wedding day approaches.
A little something timeless.
Captured on 35mm, film brings a quiet depth and texture — preserving moments in a way that feels timeless, imperfect, and entirely true to the day.
35mm Film Add-On
$600
Approx. 50–60 images. Selected moments — ceremony, portraits, in-between warmth — developed, scanned, and woven into your gallery.
Extended Film Coverage
$950
Approx. 100+ images. More film throughout the full day — a richer, deeper analog archive alongside your digital gallery.
Featured Galleries.
A few recent weddings — each one different, each one entirely theirs.
