📸 Why a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot is a Must! 📸

Hi, I’m Masha — a wedding photographer based in the Bay Area, capturing timeless, emotional, and cinematic wedding stories all across California and the United States. Whether you’re planning an intimate San Francisco City Hall wedding, a romantic elopement in Yosemite, or a coastal celebration on the California beaches — I’d love to tell your story through my lens.

My photography style is natural, elegant, and full of life. I focus on real emotions, beautiful light, and genuine connection between you and your partner. My goal is to make your wedding photos feel effortless, authentic, and true to your day — not stiff or overly posed.

I offer wedding photography packages for 4, 6, and 8 hours, and with each of them, I include a complimentary engagement session. This engagement photoshoot is a beautiful way for us to get to know each other before your big day. It helps you practice posing, relax in front of the camera, and experience how we’ll work together on your wedding day.

For your engagement photos, we can choose any location in California — a beach, a mountain overlook, a vineyard, or your favorite city spot. Many of my couples choose meaningful places like where they had their first date or where the proposal happened. I’ll create a custom mood board with posing ideas, send wardrobe recommendations, and help you pick the perfect time of day for soft, golden light.

Couples often use their engagement photos for their wedding website, save-the-date invitations, or wedding décor. You’ll receive a minimum of 40 professionally edited photos and all the original files within five business days.

Some of my favorite locations to shoot are Baker Beach in San Francisco, La Jolla in San Diego, Yosemite National Park, Palm Springs, and the stunning Big Sur coast — but I’m always excited to travel anywhere your story takes me.

If you’re planning a City Hall wedding or a small intimate ceremony, I also offer a special City Hall photography package that includes both your ceremony and a pre-wedding photoshoot.

No matter where or how you choose to celebrate, I’ll be there to capture it with heart, creativity, and attention to every detail.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in San Francisco, Napa, Sacramento, Los Angeles, or anywhere in California, reach out — I’d love to learn about your vision and help make it come to life.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
