Love is Magic Photography
Colourful, Candid, FUN Wedding Photography
I'm a photographer that moved from California to Scotland for the love of my life.... and of course Harry Potter! Now I'm living my passion of documenting love and exploring Scotland with my husband!!
I’m a movie buff and adventure seeker, obsessed with Hogwarts, halloween and hiking. I quote movies and TV shows like a second language. I put so much of my heart and soul into photography because I believe love is pretty freaking magical!
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a storyteller. I spent my youth at the cinema with my Dad every weekend. And when we weren't having a noir marathon, we were people watching and playing that game where you get points for spotting Neo or Trinity in a crowd. But I digress.
My approach to photography stems from my lifelong love of the cinema and my dream of contributing to a more magical world. I’m just a romantic at heart and I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life! I'm lucky AF to be in an industry that is surrounded with so much love ... and cake, cake is really important too.
Capturing your wedding day is like meeting you inside of a romance movie. I get a glimpse into your life and I’m honored to creatively capture your connection, your vibrance, your world.

Meet the Photographer
based in Scotland Made in california
available worldwide
I met my Scottish husband on Instagram because I was posting about coming to Edinburgh and asking for recommendations. We talked on and off for a few months before I came. I was supposed to visit for 4 days but I enjoyed his company so much that I stayed for 2 weeks! We began speaking every day and never missed a call. We got to the point where we would video call for 5 hours a day! I went back and forth spending 6 months in Edinburgh and 6 months in California for 2 years before we eloped in Las Vegas in 2025!
My wedding
A handful of my most cherished obsessions
and Inspirations
It's my favourite place in the whole world. I am so grateful to live and love is Scotland. I'm grateful to edit photos from a cafe with a view of Edinburgh Castle. I draw inspiration from the medieval architecture, castles everywhere and Highland Coos!
Edinburgh
My home
Harry Potter marathons are my guilty pleasure! I usually watch them while I edit photos and every Christmas break! I've also been known to spend a full day just in Wizarding World at Universal Studios. Well that was before I visited Edinburgh and felt the magic of the city!
Harry Potter
Marathons
I love movies and great tv shows. My favourite genres are Fantasy, Sci Fi, Noir and British + Italian Gangster movies. I quote Movies and TV shows like a second language. I'm inspired by the magic and wonder of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. These are a few of my favourite directors: Tim Burton, Cohen Bros, Wes Anderson Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher and Christopher Nolan.

Hogwarts and halloween
I miss Jalapeno Kettle chips the most! My local Sprouts grocery store with all of their sugar free candy options! My annual birthday cake from Nothing Bundt Cake. Cannot think of Cali without missing a double double animal style from In n out.
California
Obsessions
I'm all about soaking up every ounce of fun and adventuring through life. Searching out the best brunch and taco spots. Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings marathons. Epicly-bad Nick Cage movies. Early morning hikes. Sunset walks. Nights filled with great friends, red wine, and any excuse to put together an epic cheese board aka grown up Lunchables.
We might be a good fit if you value...
small details, candid moments, relaxed vibes, golden hour portraits and ridiculously fun parties.
