Hey friend, I'm Eliza! I am a passionate videographer/photographer and love creating beauty through both, especially when it comes to real connections between people. With a background in documentary filmmaking from the previous eight years of my work, I started capturing weddings, portraits, and families on camera with an eye for detail and human connection back in 2021. My goal with any project is always to capture real moments with real people -- in the most beautiful lighting possible, of course!

Eliza did a great job and took candid pictures of our engagement proposal. We chose lake Diablo as our photo shoot spot and we arrived quite late than the arranged time. Eliza was kind enough to wait for us until we arrived and was very patient with us. I definitely recommend her services to anyone.

With only a few short weeks from our intimate wedding day left, we were so fortunate to have found Elizabeth. She was so kind and easy work with. The highlight reel she created for us allowed friends and family that could not attend, truly feel as if they were there. She captured the most meaningful and intimate moments we will cherish forever. Thank you so much for being such an integral part of our special day! -Saba & Kaj

Elizabeth was fantastic to work with! She was very professional and made me feel very comfortable, especially because i had never taken photos before. She was very personable, and such a sweet person! I could tell she was passionate about her work and wanted the best possible results for me. Overall the shoot was so much fun, and the end result was amazing! I couldn't have asked for better. Such a kind person, i seriously could not reccomend her enough! :) -Morgan R

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices listed on projects include filming/photographing, editing, and revision time. You are paying for a completed project that meets your standards and expectations. I charge a 50% deposit for photoshoots and weddings on booking, but do offer payment plans on request.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With a new customer, I will discuss the details of your project with you over text, phone call, or video chat, whichever you prefer! We will discuss dates, project expectations, and you will tell me any little touches you would like for your video or photoshoot!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
While I did graduate Summa Cum Laude from my university with a degree in film and media arts, I feel that my best film education came from a studio called Spy Hop Productions and from my mentors there. There I learned how to edit, to film professionally, how to deliver projects on a tight timeline, to cover events, to work with clients one-on-one, and so much more. I got my first clients and traveled to film for the first time with their help. Beyond that, I have spent more time with a camera in my hands than almost anything else, and I believe that when your work is your passion, you pour that much more time into it and become that much better as a result.
