I believe that the best photos in life are the ones that bring back all the emotion you once felt that allow you to truly reminisce on what once was. That nostalgic feeling, that raw emotion that was so strong that you’re feeling once more.

They’re not always the most perfect photos… in fact, they rarely are. They’re the in-between moments that last for a split-second, and then they’re gone. They’re the messy, blurry, out-of-focus photos that sometimes hold the best memories. They’re the ones that showcase your love and your families and friends for exactly who they are: human. The real, raw, most pure versions of what that looks like. The joy and laughter from inside jokes, the tears down your cheeks, the tight hand squeezes, the way your spouse looks at you, your grandma holding your face smiling… These are the photos that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. 

My journey as a photographer started when I was 6 years old. Playing with disposable cameras laying around, capturing my dog running in the grass, my mom cooking lunch… the simple moments. I remember taking photos of friends on the playground in elementary school, and that’s where my love for documenting people really started. Fast forward to high school, I held my grandpa’s hand as he passed away from prostate cancer. The photos I have with him became priceless, and mean even more to me now that he’s been gone for over 15 years. Last year, I was shooting a wedding in Lake Tahoe. I took a photo of the groom's grandmother smiling at me… and moments later she collapsed. That is now the last photo ever taken of her smiling, that my clients will also cherish for the rest of their lives. 

Life is so short, and I take these experiences into how I document love stories today. This is the best weekend of your lives, and deserves to be documented honestly and with care, so you too can relive every moment how it felt for generations to come. 

If you resonate with how I document stories, we’ll probably be a great fit! I would be honored to capture your love story & the people and moments that mean the most to you. I only take on 18 weddings per year to uphold the best standard and experience to every client I work with. If you’re interested in hiring me as your photographer, inquire here and let’s connect! I’ll send over more info & next steps. I’m so excited to hear from you two! 

Your story matters — and I would be honored to document it through images that feel honest, real, and completely you.

“Bridgette was absolutely amazing! She instantly made my husband and I feel so comfortable from our very first consult call with her. Her personality, her talent, her organization and her ability to make you take the most organic photos ever is truly unmatched. She is so good at what she does. When planning a wedding, the prices of vendors becomes overwhelming so quickly but I can guarantee you that investing in a good photographer is truly worth it. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives and the photos she captured are pure gold. Highly recommend hiring Bridgette!!!”

“Bridgette did our wedding photos and working with her was INCREDIBLE start to finish. She went so above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day of our lives and the photos are absolutely stunning. We look like movie stars! She made us feel so comfortable and was prepared for anything (fixing my hair, helping me change), and was just such a fun and positive presence on our big day. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience and are so grateful we have these photos to relive it all over again. Would give her 6 stars if I could!!!”

I cannot recommend Bridgette enough! From the moment we met her, she was so bubbly, kind, and genuinely helpful, more than just a photographer, she truly felt like a friend I’ve known for years. She went above and beyond in every way and made our wedding day feel so easy and effortless. Everyone we talked to that day couldn’t stop complimenting how amazing she was to work with. And the photos… absolutely breathtaking! She captured our day more beautifully than I ever could have imagined. If you want someone who will make you feel comfortable, supported, and deliver the most stunning pictures you’ve ever seen, Bridgette is the one!

Inquire here, we'll connect over a zoom call to make sure we're a great fit, and I'll send over a custom proposal! This includes a contract and retainer invoice to reserve your date — this is all done online, you can pay with any major credit card, and there's never any hidden fees involved.

What happens next if we’d like to book?

You can expect around 600–800 carefully edited images from a full wedding day. A preview gallery is delivered within 48 hours, and your full gallery arrives within 8 weeks, ready to download and share with your loved ones!

How many images will we receive, and when?

One hundred percent!! Most of my couples aren’t models — they’re real people who just want to feel relaxed and enjoy the day. I offer gentle direction and focus on helping you connect with each other so the images feel authentic and totally you.

Will you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?

My approach blends editorial composition with genuine emotion — a mix of timeless portraits and candid, unposed moments. I work primarily with natural light to create soft, timeless imagery that feels effortless and refined.

How would you describe your photography style?

Absolutely! Although most my work takes place in the Lake Tahoe area, I take on a few destination locations each year. Travel details are customized for each event, and I handle all travel logistics to make the process super easy for you.

Do you travel for weddings?

Most couples reserve their date 9–12 months in advance, especially for popular seasons (May - October). I always recommend reaching out as soon as possible to ensure availability for your date!
