About

Hi, I'm Viv, a lifetime lover of nature and light. For all their preparation, weddings happen fast. They are full of distraction and high paced energy — and, we often fear we're going to forget the moments that mean the most. As someone who values calm over chaos, I invite you to pause and soak in the moments of your day. It will likely be a blend of orchestrated encounters and organic happenings; I believe that my role is to document it all. You will feel seen; the beauty, emotion, and nuance of your union and community all reflected in the images I capture. My intention is to support you in being present; your day is meant to be experienced by you, for all its joy, magic, and memory-making.

City Hall & Reception Photo Sessions

Vivian was wonderful to work with! My partner and I are not great at posing for pictures but Vivian helped us feel comfortable and relaxed. We love her photography style and she was able to capture some amazing artistic shots of us. She is professional and great at what she does but the best part is that working with her felt like having a good friend capture all our best candid moments together.

Vivian does an amazing job.

Vivian did a fantastic job with our wedding. There were weather concerns, our makeup was running behind schedule. Vivian was cool a a cucumber. My wife feels like she has a hard time smiling for photos (especially many photos in a row). Vivian did a wonderful job bringing out natural moments between my wife and I and capturing the beautiful scenic venue. She also did an amazing job capturing genuine candid moments among our guests. We are so happy with our wedding photos and highly recommend Vivian.

WONDERFUL photos and photographer!

Where do I begin? Vivian photographed our September wedding in Sonoma and every picture is STUNNING! We love the portraits, but her candids is what really took things over the top. All of our guests look like they're glowing in her photos! She truly captured the joy of the day. I could not stop smiling scrolling through our gallery. She went above and beyond to include a photo of all of our guests.

Vivian is super cool. She made sure everyone was comfortable and she kept things on time on the wedding day. We were tight one time, but she got my "getting ready" pictures done in minutes. You would never know by looking at them what a short timeframe she had.

Vivian already had a strong working relationship with our wedding videographer. That partnership made things run smoothly from a logistical perspective, but more importantly showed how respected Vivian is in the industry. We're so happy we booked her for our big day!! You won't be disappointed working with Vivian.
