I’m Shayna, but you can call me Frank if you want—it’s all good! I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Oakland, California. I love capturing stunning moments using both digital and film photography.
I’ve been in love with photography since I was a kid. My family was all about it. My Great-Grandpa and Grandpa had their own studios and darkrooms. They developed photos by hand, and I soaked up their passion. It sparked my obsession, and I knew I’d be telling stories through my lens forever.
I’ve tried everything in photography, but couples have my heart. There’s something magical about capturing love. I focus on real, genuine moments between people who are head over heels. My style combines photojournalism with a sprinkle of direction, so you’re comfortable and confident all day. It’s about mixing candid moments with a touch of editorial flair.
When you work with me, it feels like hanging out with a friend—a friend who really knows their way around a camera. The vibe between us is super important: it makes for amazing images. I want you to feel relaxed, have fun, and create awesome memories together.
So, whether you’re planning a cozy elopement or a big bash, I’m here to help tell your unique love story. Let’s make photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime!
