Northern California · Lake Tahoe · Worldwide
For the wildly in love and beautifully becoming.
Emotion-filled wedding, elopement, and portrait photography rooted in connection, natural beauty, and the moments you never want to forget.
Photographs that hold what matters
Not simply how it looked—but how it felt to be there.
You do not need to know how to pose or perform for the camera. I will gently guide you, create space for real connection, and notice the fleeting expressions that make your story unmistakably yours.
Love stories
Weddings with soul.
Your wedding is not a production for the camera. It is a living, breathing gathering of everyone you love. I photograph the unguarded laughter, the trembling hands, the wide landscapes, and the quiet seconds in between.
With more than thirty years behind the camera, I will guide you when you need it and disappear into the moment when you do not.

Meet Deanna
Thirty years of seeing what others might miss.
I have spent more than three decades photographing people, but life has taught me that the most meaningful images are rarely the perfectly arranged ones. They are the gestures, laughter, tenderness, and quiet moments that reveal who we are to one another.
I bring a calm presence, an experienced eye, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of being fully here.
