about us
A destination wedding and brand photographer, creating editorial film-driven imagery for couples, artists, and entrepreneurs --- based in the Southeast, California, and 30A.
Jada is a fashion-forward, design-conscious wedding photographer known for her timeless, true-to-tone imagery. Her work is shaped by a lifelong appreciation for art and design and a multidisciplinary creative background that informs every project with both intention and restraint. Splitting her time between both coasts, she serves couples across the globe, crafting imagery that feels enduring, thoughtful, and composed.
Rooted in honoring legacy, her approach captures not only refined portraiture but also the quiet, in-between moments that give a wedding day its depth. With a discerning eye for composition and detail, Jada creates work that reflects the beauty of her couples’ design choices while preserving the authenticity of their connection. Working fluidly across both digital and film formats, she brings a tactile, nuanced quality to every image.

Outside of photography, she finds joy in travel, fashion, antiques, regenerative wellness, the beach, running, lab pups, family, and thoughtful design.

Lead photographer
and creative director
Our use of medium format and 35mm film introduces a natural pause into the process, encouraging presence, precision, and discernment. It is this pace that allows us, as destination wedding photographers, to create work that feels thoughtful, grounded, and lasting.
we approach every image with intention
Jada is literally an angel and was my own personal hype woman on my wedding day!! I could literally go on forever about how amazing she is, and how thankful my husband and I are that we decided to book with her for our special day. From the beginning, she was enthusiastic, real, genuine, and so so kind! She is dedicated to delivering nothing but the best, and believe me…SHE DID. She brought my vision to life, and made my desired Pinterest board-inspired photos a reality. On our wedding day she was driven and focused to get us the photos we would love. I said she was my own personal hype woman, and I meant that! While shooting, every 30 seconds she would tell me how beautiful I am and how I was made for this. I’ve literally never felt more beautiful and hyped in my whole life! If my husband and I did this 30 times over, we’d still choose Jada as our photographer, no questions asked! Our photos are everything I’ve ever dreamed of, and she perfectly captured exactly how our day felt. When I shared my vision with her, I said “I wanna look back on these photos with our kids someday and be able to remember exactly how it felt on that day.”
