LOS ANGELES DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY WITH AN EDITORIAL FLAIR

You’ve heard the saying,

It’s your world;

we’re just living in it.

Well, that's never more true 
than on your wedding weekend.

as seen in

The experience

The setting, the atmosphere, the little details that make it yours.

No forcing, no staging — just the energy, emotion, and beauty of the day, exactly as you want to remember it.

And I'll be there to tune in, feel the vibe, and capture it all.

Intentional Approach,
Meaningful Story 

Your story, your people, your celebration — that’s what guides me: photos that reflect your world, not mine, and a photography experience centered around you.

Effortless Flow,
Remarkable Photos 

I’ll establish a timeline to keep things on track, while allowing room for spontaneity. This balance will ensure I capture everything important to you, while leaving space for creativity and genuine emotions to shine through. 

Total Teamwork,
Enjoyable Celebration 

Using my innate problem solving skills and background as a producer, I'll anticipate, adapt, and work seamlessly with your vendors and planner to ensure you can relax into the moments.

Real Experience,
Real You 

I'll tune into your emotions, body language, and dynamics to create an experience that makes you feel comfortable and confident. 

Genuine Moments,
Unobtrusive Presence 

Inspired by street photography, I'll anticipate interactions and capture authentic moments and emotions— all without interrupting or intruding. So you can feel free to stay in the moment — as if I wasn't even there. 

Iconic Art,
Forever Memories 

Using a combination of digital and film, I'll capture your day authentically without manipulating its natural feel. So you'll receive original photos free from trends. And images you'll continue to love—long after today. 

“Mandee's professionalism and genuine care made our wedding day unforgettable.

It was clear she had a deep understanding of both the art of photography and the flow of the day, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.”
