Whether you’re planning a simple City Hall ceremony or a full Bay Area elopement adventure, I help couples turn a few hours in San Francisco into a beautifully photographed, stress-free wedding day that actually feels like them.
Hi, I’m Katrina — photographer, professional third-wheel, and someone who firmly believes your wedding day should include laughing, not posing through clenched teeth
I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, shot for The New York Times, and worked in high-pressure environments where you learn fast how to keep things calm and flowing. Somewhere along the way, I realized my favorite part of every wedding wasn’t the production — it was the couple. The real moments. The in-between laughs. The “wait, did that just happen?” looks.
I’m known for making people laugh (even the “I’m awkward in photos” crowd), which means your portraits feel relaxed, natural, and very you. I focus on San Francisco City Hall and Bay Area elopements because they leave space for connection, intention, and stunning imagery without the chaos.
One of the best parts about eloping in San Francisco and the SF Bay Area is how many iconic, jaw-dropping locations are just minutes away — perfect for celebrating, exploring, and creating unforgettable elopement photos to commemorate your day.
I help you plan a relaxed, realistic timeline so your San Francisco City Hall elopement flows seamlessly into your photo adventure — no rushing, no stress, just space to enjoy being married while I document it all.
We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect photographer for our San Francisco City Hall elopement. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease. Every photo captured the emotion, the architecture, and the magic of our day so beautifully. We will treasure these images forever.
