California Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer for couples wanting a meaningful & adventurous elopement experience in San Diego and Redwoods!

Hey there, my name is Sheryl! I am a California Elopement Photographer based in San Diego, California.

I can't wait to me you! Does this sound like you and your partner? You want an intentional experience.

You want a wedding day where each moment is purposefully crafted to reflect you and the love you share. You want a wedding that feels true to who you are filled with adventures that you both love doing and encompasses the things that matter most to you.

You want the non-traditional & epic.

A wedding confined to a venue just doesn't seem epic enough for you and feeling obligated to plan a big traditional wedding doesn't feel true to who you are.

You want to invest in what you value.

You want to invest in what is most important to you. You want to invest in an unforgettable experience, in a stunning location that speaks to you, surrounded by only your closest & most dearest family & friends.

You're camera shy, but you want memories that truly reflect you.

You may feel a little awkward in front of the lens, but you trust your photographer to capture the candid, raw, meaningful moments that reflect you best.

If you said "YES", then let's do this!

  • 5-stars

    “Over the past year we were able to create a plan for my elopement. With living in Washington and wanting some hiking involved on our special day she took it upon herself and took charge. No maid of honor she is your girl, very professional, reliable and so fun to be around. She made sure the day ran smoothly and definitely was my hype girl through out the entire day. I can’t thank her enough, and the hard work she put in. Being in front of the camera she helped make us feel confident and prompt my husband and I to make every move feel very natural and raw. The outcome of our elopement photos are INCREDIBLE! I’m so glad these will be the photos I can look back on, absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to find more reasons to book a session with her, I HIGHLY recommend Sheryl if you are seeking to find the perfect destination photographer or for any special moments!”

    We had the immense pleasure of having Sheryl as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. I saw Sheryl’s pictures on instagram and immediately knew I wanted her to capture our intimate adventure wedding. From the moment we first met her, Sheryl's professionalism, warmth, and dedication to capturing the perfect moments were evident.

    On the day of the wedding, Sheryl was everywhere, capturing every significant moment without ever being intrusive. Her eye for detail is truly remarkable, and she managed to capture not only the big moments but also the small, candid ones that made our day so special.

    The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations. Each shot was beautifully composed, with excellent use of natural light and creative angles that added a unique touch to our wedding album. Moreover, Sheryl also listened to our preferences and incorporated our ideas, making sure that the final product reflected our vision perfectly.

    We wholeheartedly recommend Sheryl to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who combines a love of adventure, technical expertise and a genuine passion for storytelling. Her work has given us so many stunning pictures of our wedding day that we will treasure forever.

    Thank you, Sheryl, for capturing the essence of our special day so beautifully!

    Sheryl was an absolute joy to work with from start to end. She took the time to get to know us and truly made our vision come to life. The moment I saw Sheryl on IG I just knew she was going to be the one for us! & she did not disappoint! From scouting the perfect locations for each shoot, finding short cuts on our hike, to even helping me change into my dress and veil. But wait there’s more! She developed timelines, scouted vendors, helped with planning, provided packing checklists, and helped us narrow down what we wanted out of our day. When I say Sheryl does it all I mean it. I am not the most natural in front of a camera, and she did everything to help us feel relaxed and enjoy our day! She was there to walk us through every moment of the session and most importantly have fun. When the gallery was delivered, I was soo astounded by the authentic, candid photos she captured. She did an amazing job, and I love how she captured our natural authentic smiles, despite my awkwardness. I can not recommend Sheryl enough! If you want to reflect on pictures that will bring you right back to your special day then HIRE HER! Sheryl has a passion and love for what she does and her photos show it! We walked away with new friends and so glad we made that connection on our special day!

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Sheryl is fun, personable, and exactly who you need for big day photos! My husband and I had a microwedding in redwoods California without ever even visiting prior. Sheryl literally made our day into a fairytale! From the small details to the big movements she captured it all. People are still raving over ALL the photos. It was absolute perfection. The pictures were actually an adventure! No regrets. Don’t even think twice about it, book her. I have already recommended her to everyone I know! She made everything leading up to the day also as stress free as possible and we loved hanging out with her! I would love to book her for all future big life events. Our dog Milo also loved her :)

    Thank you Sheryl! We hope to see you again!

    I was referred to Sheryl by a friend who had just had their wedding. I saw the photos and was immediately drawn to Sheryl’s creativity and style. Her photos give you that warm, fuzzy feeling on the inside and just scream “I belong in a wedding magazine!” from the outside.

    From our first call, I could feel Sheryl’s excitement and passion for what she did. As a type A girly, I loved how organized and detailed Sheryl was. From her intake form to our Zoom calls to texts and emails back-and-forth, I knew Sheryl would carry out our day exactly how we envisioned it. And she did just that!

    My husband and I booked her for an elopement in Thailand and we are over the moon at how our photos turned out. Sheryl was our biggest hype man, kept us (mainly me) calm and collected when things didn’t pan out the way we expected, and weathered every storm with grace.

    I would recommend Sheryl over and over to anyone! She captured our day perfectly.

    If you’re still deciding whether or not you want to make the investment for Sheryl to capture your special day, THIS IS YOUR SIGN. You will not regret it! Here are our photos for proof!

    We love you, Sheryl! Thank you for everything!!!

    We couldn’t imagine a better fit for us than Sheryl. Beyond her incredible work, she is truly a wonderful human being inside and out. From the very moment we first inquired about working with her over a year ago, she has never missed the mark.

    What made the experience even more special was how she made every step of the planning feel custom and tailored just for us as a couple. She is thoughtful and intentional—not only with what she captures through her lens but also behind the scenes in ways you might not even realize. For example, Sheryl supported us by identifying the perfect vendors for our intimate ceremony—literally finding the best makeup artist and content creators in Italy! She thoughtfully built out our day-of timeline and kept everyone on track, curated a flawless adventure day on a luxury boat, all while making my husband and me feel comfortable, calm, and cared for throughout the entire experience.

    On top of it all, Sheryl goes above and beyond. She is professional, reliable, and trustworthy—qualities that made us feel completely confident and at ease every step of the way. (Trust me, I was talking to Sheryl close to 24/7 by the final week before travel).

    Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made the whole journey effortless and joyful. We are grateful for the beautiful memories she captured and the way she took our original goal of “feeling like we’re in our own movie” a reality. These photos are not just pictures—they’re a timeless treasure we will cherish forever. 💗 (I think I’ve stared at them for a few days straight now).

    Blake and I absolutely adore you, Sheryl!

    Sheryl is one of the most professional, yet bubbly, and talented photographer in the business!
    My husband and I had a destination elopement in Switzerland and reached out to Sheryl to have her capture our multi-day elopement. From booking plane tickets, planning out our trip/adventures, and even scouting the day before at each location, she helped with everything. She was always in constant communication from the first day we reached out to her, till the day that our gallery was sent to us. Working and traveling with her was honestly so fun and easy!
    The attention to detail, care, and passion that she puts into everything she does is unmatched. Our photos truly captured the pure bliss and love that we felt in each moment, and we will cherish them forever. We were so comfortable with traveling with Sheryl throughout our multi-day elopement, and had so much fun as well! She truly made everything so seem-less and magical.
    We truly don't know what magic Sheryl has in her, as well as those cameras of hers, but every picture was so magically beautiful, and we love her so much (I mean, she even slept in an igloo for us, how could we not?!).
    My husband and I cannot recommend her enough!
