Meet Your Ventura Proposal Photographer
Hi! I’m Sienna, born and raised in California, and I’ve been a proposal and elopement photographer since 2010. I started off my profession shooting traditional weddings where the hectic nature of a wedding taught me to quickly adapt to any situation. My love for working with couples led me to seek out a more intimate way of photographing such a sacred event for two people. So many of the couples I had worked with were happy to get married, but felt overwhelmed on their wedding day to the point that they were ready for it to be over. So, I transitioned to elopement photography where couples could focus on each other and go at their own pace!
A little about me: I have an infant son, a wonderful + supporting husband Christopher, and two kitties. I love hiking, dancing, gaming, and vegan food!
Consider me your proposal day BFF, location scouter, and relationship hype woman: here to be not only your Ventura proposal photographer but to help with locations, vendors, and the logistics of the day.
Proud to be a Latina woman and LGBTQ-owned business that celebrates inclusivity + diversity.
We are here to help you propose and to document + help plan your day!
