Someday, these images will be revisited and asked to speak on your behalf. And you’ll open them up and cozily sink back into the day as if it were moments ago. And you’ll point out Mimi and your ridiculous best man and that dear aunt of yours that just couldn’t stop crying and laughing all at the same time. And the two of you, with brand new rings on your hands and sunrise in your eyes.

This is why my work is documentary at its core. At the end of the day - and dozens of years down the road - it’s the unposed, authentic scenes that played out that you’ll revisit the most. It's the reason I fill my images with rich honesty; I believe that's where the truest beauty lies. 

My approach is designed for the detail-oriented romantic. I blend a documentarian perspective with thoughtful planning, custom timelines, and curated inspiration drawn from art and film to create cinematic stills. It’s guided by both structure behind the scenes and freedom in the moment, allowing space for real emotion to be captured with an editorial sensibility. The result is imagery that feels elevated without being performative and intentional without being staged.

For couples who romanticize life, value order, and love to love well. 

that we leave behind for posterity to trace. 

Our images are love trails

I'm a type-A romantic driven by a firm belief that "...we are God's masterpiece..."
As such, there is not a moment of life that is unworthy of capture. A wedding day most especially.

Destinations

I’ve always been captivated by the beauty of travel, and there’s little I cherish more than photographing weddings in destinations that inspire awe. Whether it’s the colorful city center of Antigua, Guatemala, the grassy hillsides of Tuscany, or your father's childhood home in Scotland, I’m passionate about capturing your love story in a place that resonates deeply with you. After all, a destination wedding is an invitation to celebrate your love immersed in a one-of-a-kind landscape, surrounded by those closest to you.

With my blend of 35mm film and digital, I’ll document every detail with an elegant, timeless spin. I’ll be traveling through Guatemala and El Salvador from January to February of 2026 and California in August of 2026. If your wedding aligns, let's pin down your date and make it absolutely unforgettable.

Bucket List

01 / 03

“Working with Siena is the best decision you will make about your wedding. She will be your advocate, friend, cheerleader, and commander amongst the chaos of a wedding day. I can’t imagine what it would have been like without her."

May 2025   //   Jonathan & Juliette

“Siena is a MUST for your wedding! Not only does she capture beautiful photos, but she is also super kind and attentive. She made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the day and quickly adapted to the setting. You can tell she genuinely cares about your experience AND the final product. We had several family members and members of the bridal party ask for her name for their future photography needs because she gives off the best energy (and of course the best pictures)!!”
