Hello, I'm Alina
Wedding+family Photographer from southern california
My journey into photography was a slow but steady incline. I bought my first camera in 2015 purely with the intention of using it for fun and as a creative outlet. As the years went by, I began taking portraits of family and friends for different life milestones: graduations, pregnancy announcements. etc. In 2019, I began to see photography as a potential source of income and held my first mini session event and had SO much fun! In 2021, I photographed my first wedding and I was HOOKED. From that moment forward, photography became a part of my identity and I wanted to learn everything I could learn.
my approach
The privilege of documenting some of life's most iconic moments is never lost on me. My approach to photography is to be in the moment with you and capture the wedding day or session as it unfolds.
Big belly laughs. Group hugs. A soft romantic caress. Every wedding or family session, I'm looking for those moments of genuine connection. The beautiful emotions that celebrate your love for one another. The joy filled moments that you never want to forget.
Nervous and not quite sure how to pose? No worries, I gotchu! I vow to kindly tell you if your hair needs fixing or if your hand looks awkward. I'll guide into posing that feels genuine to who you are as a couple or family.
Kind words from
Monica
