Fun, Candid, and Stress-Free Photography for Your Most Important Moments
Hey there! I’m Celeste, and I believe photography should be an experience—not just a session. My goal? To capture genuine connections, raw emotions, and all the little in-between moments that make life beautiful. Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal, elopement, or an unforgettable family session, I’ll be there to document the laughter, love, and everything in between.

Most proposals include a second photographer for a FREE highlight video, giving you an Instagram-worthy way to relive the moment. But trust me, that’s just the beginning—I have plenty of surprises up my sleeve to make sure we knock it out of the park!
