I’m Briana — a Southern California photographer with a deep love for storytelling through light, texture, and emotion. My journey began with landscape photography, where I fell in love with framing the natural world. Today, I bring that same perspective into documenting love stories — blending the grandeur of nature with the intimacy of human connection.


With my degree in Visual Journalism from Brooks Institute, my background in journalism has taught me how to tell stories that feel real — full of emotion, light, and life. That experience shapes my documentary-editorial approach today. I’ll guide you just enough to make you feel comfortable, but my favorite moments are the ones that happen naturally — the laughter, the movement, the little looks that say everything.


My goal is to create a space where you and your partner can truly be yourselves. I’ll guide you with intention, celebrate the in-between moments, and capture your story with a soft, documentary feel that’s both timeless and deeply personal.


Briana has also branched out her film making by creating a vintage videography business, Heirloom Films Collective that focuses more on the 70s and 90s throwbacks of wedding days where Super 8 video meets cozy home video vibes with her camcorder.


Let’s craft images that feel like memories — nostalgic, real, and filled with love.
