About

Thank you so much for stopping by, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Braden and Jana are a husband and wife photography team. They love to photograph people, places, and beautiful things all across Northern California, and the Greater Sacramento area. They love adventures and traveling to Placer, Nevada, El Dorado and Amador Counties, Yosemite, Tahoe, and just about anywhere along the California Coast.

Braden is laid back and quiet. He perfers unposed candid moments, authentic smiles and meaningful glances, which produce personal and emotion-driven images. As your wedding day unfolds, Braden will be focused on fleeting moments that will truly tell your wedding story.

Jana loves being behind the lens, because she is uncomfortable in front of it, and she knows that there are many people that feel the same. Her genuine and comforting personality will put you at ease, so you can just be you and focus on the moment, not the camera. She perfers an artistic approach to photographing all the little details and loves to create moments where couples interact to create an stylish and elegant image, while preserving raw emotions. A kiss, a laugh an embrace.

Together their unique strengths compliment each other to produce an exceptional image gallery for couples who truly appreciate photography. They share a love for this unique documentary-story-telling perspective that is both natural and timeless, while capturing the most amazing photographs of you and your family. Your image gallery will allow you to rediscover your day, adding value and sentiment to your memories by revealing moments which will delight and surprise you.

Love them!!

I loved working with Jana and her husband. They were so wonderful and joyful, and she really helped me get through taking photos which I hate taking to begin with. I received the photos in a timely fashion and they are so beautiful. Thank you for everything Jana!! I will be calling you again!

The Most Incredible Experience

I don't even know where to begin with how incredibly amazing Jana and Braden were. My husband and I are pretty camera shy, a little self conscious, and I let Jana know beforehand. She insured us that she'd give us directions and help us look our best. I was blown away about how gorgeous she made my covid-19, tiny, very tight budget wedding look so magical. She was through and the most sweetest person to talk to. We discussed exactly what I would like. I also let her know that we were doing a little bit nontraditional Halloween, spooky, odd wedding and she seemed so thrilled to be apart of it. During the wedding, Jana was helping us pose and look our best while Braden took photos in the background. We had a few fun elements like our friend dressed in a Halloween costume and they absolutely loved it. She was open to the few ideas I had and she captured how much we love to laugh and our love. Highly recommend. If I ever need a photographer, she'll be the one I contact and recommend to anyone. Thank you again for being apart of my magical day.

Jana goes above and beyond to capture perfect moments

Jana is the best, we have worked with her before for other family photo shoots and we have been delighted with the photos every time. Jana is an amazing photographer, she goes above and beyond to capture perfect moments, and she’s extremely professional. We had a small elopement ceremony in a park, and had a general idea of what we wanted. We had no idea that Jana would step in and guide us with amazing, creative suggestions, and direct us to capture priceless moments. Trusting someone to photograph your wedding is an incredibly important decision and I will continue to recommend her because she is worth it! We love our wedding photos!
