Photographer, artist, and calm in the beautiful chaos.
I am a Los Angeles wedding photographer specializing in luxury wedding photography throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, Malibu, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and destination celebrations worldwide. My work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, creating imagery that feels natural, intentional, and deeply connected to the emotion of your day.
With nearly a decade of experience photographing weddings across Southern California and 20 years in the arts, my approach is rooted in observation, intuition, and art direction. I am drawn to real moments—the quiet ones, the emotional ones, and everything in between—while gently guiding when needed so you always feel comfortable and present.
My background in art direction, cinematic composition, and fine art storytelling informs how I see each wedding. I approach every celebration with care, focusing not only on how it looks, but how it feels as it unfolds.
Clients often tell me they remember how calm and grounded the experience felt. That matters just as much to me as the final gallery.
I believe wedding photography is not just documentation. It is legacy. It is the preservation of connection, emotion, and the feeling of a moment that can never be repeated.

When I’m not photographing love stories or creative brands, you’ll find me exploring new coastal spots, decompressing at hot yoga, chasing the sunset with my camera, or curating visual inspiration for my next project. Every experience outside my work fuels the perspective I bring behind the lens—rooted in curiosity, creativity, and genuine connection.
Before photographing weddings, I spent years crafting visual stories for luxury brands, entertainment icons, and museums. Today, I bring that same eye for beauty, intention, and storytelling to your wedding day—so your memories are preserved not just beautifully, but meaningfully.
My background allows me to approach your celebration with a refined editorial sensibility, while keeping the focus on what matters most: the real, unfiltered moments of joy, emotion, and connection that define your love story.
Because your photos aren’t just for today—they’re heirlooms in the making. Twenty years from now, when you glance at your portrait wall, you’ll feel it all over again. And generations ahead will feel your love, too.

Working with Breana Isley was unreal — her vision and artistic eye was everything, and there was never a moment where she didn't have our complete trust. Our wedding day was magical, and she captured every detail and moment impeccably.
