Hey, I'm Aleena!

As a California elopement photographer, I create calm, intentional wedding experiences for couples who want their day to feel meaningful, not rushed. I guide you through locations, permits, lighting, and flow so you can stay present while everything unfolds naturally. The result is imagery that reflects not just where you eloped, but how it felt to experience it together.
I run on Caffeine.. Rockstar and Coffee style.
God is the greatest artist and I get to witness His masterpieces in nature and in love
Raising three kids keeps me on my toes (and great at multitasking!)
I believe in fairy-tale moments, even in real life

Your
Your wedding day doesn't need to be packed with timelines, poses or pressure to be meaningful
Your day is allowed to breathe.
An experience that feels calm, not rushed
I believe the most beautiful moments happen when there’s space to slow down and simply be together. I help shape a day that feels unhurried and intentional, so you’re not thinking about what comes next, you’re fully present in what’s happening now. From breathing room in the timeline to choosing locations that feel peaceful and grounded, everything is designed to support presence over performance.
Direction without Distruption
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands
— that’s where I come in.

Because when you work with me,
you'll get An emotive & meaningful Approach
Photos that reflect your connection, your energy, and the way your love feels, not just how it looks.
Your photos won’t just show what your day looked like, but how it felt to be there together. The quiet in-between moments. The laughter. The way you naturally reach for each other. I document the story as it unfolds, so your images feel honest, timeless, and deeply personal.
Beautiful images matter — but the experience behind them matters more. I prioritize how your day feels while knowing the visuals will follow. When you’re comfortable, unhurried, and grounded, your photos reflect that ease in a way no forced moment ever could.
Crafting & Documenting your adventure
Whether you're planning an elopement with just the two of you or a wedding celebration with all your favorite people
Eloping doesnt mean Missing out
You’re not choosing to elope because you’re running from tradition. You’re choosing it because you want something more meaningful and intentional. You dream of celebrating this once-in-a-lifetime moment in a way that feels intimate and deeply personal, without sacrificing the beauty of heartfelt vows, a shared meal, or a toast with the people who matter most.
From the way your partner reaches for your hand to the wind tugging at your dress and the quiet joy in your eyes, your love will be captured exactly as it unfolds.
These aren’t just photos. They are moments frozen in time, ones that will bring you right back to how the sun felt on your skin or the way your heart beat a little faster as you said “I do.”
This is your story,
and it deserves to be preserved beautifully.

Working with Aleena was truly an incredible experience!
My husband and I were blown away with how great our wedding photos turned out. She knew exactly how to guide us and had a ton of poses ready for us to do. She was super sweet and easy to talk to. She was patient with the guests that wanted special photos to be taken. Aleena does not need any direction, she knows exactly what she is doing. We are super happy with the overall turn out. I recommend Aleena 1000 percent!
My husband and I don’t have much experience in front of the camera, but she guided us so perfectly and made us feel completely comfortable and natural. What could have felt stiff or posed instead felt relaxed, easy, and fun. Aleena went above and beyond to bring our vision for our elopement to life, and the result was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. She didn’t just capture moments—she created memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Her talent, professionalism, and passion shine through in every detail, and we honestly can’t wait to work with her again. She has truly perfected her craft, and we are so grateful to have had her by our side on such a meaningful day.

My husband and I were blown away with how great our wedding photos turned out. She knew exactly how to guide us and had a ton of poses ready for us to do. She was super sweet and easy to talk to. On the day of the wedding, she did her thing while I was getting ready. I appreciated that because she didn’t need me to be there with her to walk her around the house. She was on time and had a complete schedule of the day. She was patient with the guests that wanted special photos to be taken. During the reception, she was always nearby taking posed and candid photos. Aleena does not need any direction, she knows exactly what she is doing. I liked the stories and reels she was posting on instagram while we waited for our photos to be delivered because they were creative and gave us something to be excited for. We are super happy with the overall turn out. I recommend Aleena 1000% !

Aleena was everything we could hope for in a photographer and more. She was patient, kind, reassuring and very caring. She captured our surprise engagement perfectly and was as excited as we were. On top of being discreet, she was calm and helped us capture the perfect moments. We could not be happier with who was by our side at this special time and the pictures. Thank you so much, Aleena!

Aleena, is the most patient, personable, and passionate photographer we have ever met. From our initial phone consultation, to our engagement photos, to planning our wedding photos, each step has been flawlessly arranged. Her communication is top tier! I reached out to other photographers in the area and none matched her energy, love, and kindness. Her attention to detail, with not only the photos but with what we embody as couple, is unmatched. Plus, the photos she captured are beautiful and exactly what we envisioned. We could not be more thankful for her and her photography.
