  • Editorial style

Wedding/ Elopement photographer based in Carmel, CA and available worldwide! I first got started in photography five years ago and have been in love with it ever since. Lover of coffee, the ocean and hiking!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nadeen's artistic eye, natural talent and knowledge of photography created the most magical wedding and engagement photos we ever could have asked for, completely exceeding our expectations! We worked with Nadeen for about 8 months in 2023 leading up to our September wedding in Big Sur, CA. She was kind enough to meet us in person 7 months before the wedding for engagement photos (even on a rainy/windy day in Big Sur!) which helped us get to know her and become more comfortable with what to expect for being photographed on the actual wedding day. Nadeen did a great job guiding us on how to look natural for our photos and made us feel super comfortable being photographed. On our wedding day, Nadeen was there every step of the way and captured our day beautifully. It was a pleasure to have her there and she did a great job of keeping us on track, making sure we captured all photos we wanted, and even took us on an extra special excursion to a separate location for sunset photos. From the wedding shots, to the priceless candids, stunning detail shots, and variety of natural light, flash, black and white photos, every single image was taken with thought and love and turned out beautifully. We had the best time working with and getting to know Nadeen. It felt like we were just hanging out with friends! Cannot recommend Nadeen enough for your wedding, engagement or any other event where you may be looking for a photographer!

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin… From our first conversation, I felt like I wasn’t just hiring a vendor, but gaining a team that genuinely cared about our wedding. They didn’t just show up with cameras — they guided us, calmed my nerves, and captured moments I didn’t even realize were happening. When we got our photos and video, I cried… not because I’m sentimental (which I am), but because they managed to catch the real “us” — the laughter, the glances, even the little chaos. Choosing them was honestly one of the best decisions we made for our day. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You’ll thank yourself later.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

We're so happy we were able to have Ana with us on our big day. Our photos came out amazing and she truly captured all the joy me, my husband and our guests were feeling. It was easy to coordinate with her beforehand and as a bride, my main concern was needing to trust my vendors and I felt that 100% with Ana. We love her spirit and her calm presence, and plan to reach out to her again in the future!
