Your story should be remembered the way it actually feels — honest, emotional, and full of heart.
Your grandfather’s wrinkled hands.
The way your partner looks at you when no one’s watching.
The emotion in the room you didn’t even realize you’d feel.
Those are the moments that should stay alive for the rest of your life.
I’m not just capturing your day —
I’m here to protect how it feels.
I’m here to make sure the moments you lived — the big ones, the tiny ones, and the ones you didn’t even see happening — are yours forever.
When you look back at
your wedding day, all those feelings
should come rushing back.
I photograph weddings throughout Sacramento, Napa Valley, Sonoma, Lake Tahoe, and destinations beyond—working closely with planners to ensure the day unfolds smoothly and intentionally.
I spend the time listening and understanding what matters to you, so on your wedding day you’re not thinking about photos at all — you’re fully present with the people you love.
I know when to guide, when to step back, and how to protect the feeling of a moment while it’s happening — not just document it after.
I’ve spent over ten years capturing weddings — and I know how important it is to find someone who actually cares about you.
I'm Celine Reese.
The
Experience
Photos are only half of what I do—the rest is creating space for actual moments to unfold.
Before the wedding, I learn your rhythms, your priorities, and the small details you’d never want overlooked.
On the day itself, you get to be present while I quietly take care of the rest.
If that sounds like the experience you want, this is your next step.

I don’t want you to just download those images and leave them on your hard drive forever. I want you to have a physical reminder of your love all over your house.
I want your images to have a life and a permanence- that’s why every single package includes a wedding album. Each of these albums will last for decades and are custom designed with you so that you can include every image that’s important to you.

i'm dedicated to helping you have the best experience of your life.
One of the hardest experiences I had with a wedding photographer was waiting for the sneak peeks. Only having cell-phone photos for a month and a half or a watermarked couple of screenshots to get me through was so hard.
That’s why I always give my clients 20 sneak peeks within 48 hours. I edit as quickly as I can and keep communicating with you after the wedding is over, so you know when those images are coming.
the difference
48-HOUR SNEAK PEEKS?
I know with the venue, the dress, and all the people celebrating you, it can seem like everything is important- but photography and videography is the ONLY thing you can take from that day. I have had countless couples tell me in tears that they went with a cheap friend/ photographer who lost the images or didn’t capture the moments that mattered. In fact, photography and videography is the only thing that increases in value as you pass those albums and images down to generations. Investing in this is the most important thing you can do for your day.
the difference
THIS IS A LEGACY.
I’ve spent the past decade dedicating myself in both a college education for photography and videography, as well as additional courses to make sure I’m capturing your day in a beautiful way. I’ve invested thousands of dollars in equipment and education and experience, learning how to give my clients the most authentic storytelling possible. When you invest in capturing a legacy of memories that you can never get back, you get an experience and imagery like no other.
the difference
I’VE ALREADY INVESTED IN YOU.
