Our Story

Our Faves

     We've honed skills: connecting, styling, placing people in beautiful light, and creating the mood for them to "be" in the moment. Moon has a MacGuyver style while Caroline is soulful & sweet & the calm in chaos. She lives for the emotion held in these moments. At every ceremony, we remember how in love we are & what a privilege it is to photograph such amazing moments with our clients, many of whom become our friends. 

      Since 2001 I've owned a commercial wedding studio & blazed trails when the industry was led by men. I strive to create a beautiful uniquely authentic approach to my work and my business. My years in production, styling and major event planning have lent to my vision, timing and intuitive nature to make images successful.
We are experienced working with couples, agencies, media and corporate clients with exacting standards. You will be treated like family. Weddings, by far, are the most rewarding work. I’m so thankful for the incredible people who become clients & lifelong friends. We’d love to hear about your love story, get to know you as a couple over coffee or drinks and learn how we can create a fun, amazing day captured in images. 

     On 11.11.11, clouds painted the sky in Dana Point cliffs overlooking the Pacific, I married Moon Morey. Funny, ingenious and talented. Moon is a kind, creative soul with an amazing sense of humor. He's my mirror to me & allows me to be my best creative self. He reminds me how awesome it is to be in love and laugh with your best friend every day. Being on the other side of the camera was a great learning experience. Our style is distinctive and conveys the beauty of the moment. We have an amazing time collaborating at events.  

     Moon & Caroline grew up at the beach. We’re in our element when we photograph beach weddings. We love everywhere this business has taken us. We trained at WPPI & PPA with highly regarded pros, Denis Reggie, Sue Bryce & Bruce Dorn.

Caroline was fantastic. She helped me set up the entire surprise engagement, by walking the location and providing a step-by-step plan. Her photos were great and she made us feel very comfortable. Such a perfect day. I highly recommend her & can't thank her enough.

Amazing beautiful photographs. We can't say enough good things about the professionalism & creativity Caroline put into capturing our wedding. We loved our e-session in the vineyard. Wine tasting and fun. She made us comfortable and thought of everything. She coaches us on posing so we looked great! Our wedding book is GORGEOUS. My favorite moment: revealing the glam book to my fiance at the rehearsal. The look on his face...pricelss. 

"WE KEEP THIS LOVE IN A PHOTOGRAPH. WE MADE THESE MEMORIES FOR OURSELVES."

          Caroline understands what it takes to capture an image that transcends time. Like the shimmering gold sand at morning tide, glimmering ethereally & then disappearing, so are the moments she captures. She breathes creativity, adventure and laughter. A beach each lover through and through, calm in chaos, who adores all things orange, pink and sparkly, ever prepared. With her good vibes: she brings a playful spirit, energy & and an understated ease into your day, like having your best friend capturing your wedding. 

      From beautiful couture portraits to journalistic images of spontaneous moments, to the gorgeous details that weave the fabric of your day, Caroline is not only a master at crafting meaningful and stunning images, but capturing the emotion behind one of the most unforgettable days of your lives. From planning to delivering your beautifully crafted wedding book, her team delivers excellence in an unforgettable experience with champagne & celebration.

      One of the most striking aspects of Caroline’s approach is that she aims to tell stories through her images, strongly believing that each frame represents a once-in-a-lifetime moment that deserves to be captured and appreciated. Photographic heirlooms, in particular, are tangible, lively tokens that will last a lifetime and more, moving on to generation after generation to continue the legacy of love and happiness that is a celebration of life itself .

I invite you to get in touch, and allow us to design a beautiful heirloom to share the story of your life.

Let's chat so we can see if we're a fit and make your day beyond beautiful.
