Couples
Anniversary / Pre-Wedding / Proposal
Couple sessions are a great way to capture the love you share, your inside jokes, smiles, respect to one another, how you care for each other! I offer a variety of session types and durations to accommodate your needs, but one thing’s for certain: These sessions are fun, low-stress times to make memories with your loved one—no need to ‘smile perfectly’ or pose a certain way! The result? A gallery of candid and traditional photos you can use for holiday cards, graduation announcements, or proudly display on your mantel.

“Iza is an amazing person aside from being an amazing photographer. She is very professional and creative. Our engagement pictures turned out to be amazing and we loved it so much. Highly recommend her!”
— Matelda
“Iza was so wonderful to work with, when I found her on Instagram I was so impressed with her timeless style. She made me and my fiancé (who hates having his picture taken) feel so comfortable and at ease, because of that and her incredible talent our photos turned out so beautiful and will make not just lovely save the dates but memories that will last a lifetime.”
—Alisha
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I began my journey in 2019, just before the pandemic struck. The pandemic made me realize how short life can be. It encouraged me to pursue my lifelong passion wholeheartedly.
-
San Francisco(SF), Northern California(NorCal)! Many of my couples choose this location to combine their photo session with a small trip. NorCal offers an abundance of breathtaking places, including national parks, stunning landscapes, mountains, and iconic SF locations like Golden Gate, that I'm extremely familiar with due to my many clients traveling here, especially for elopements and proposals! If you need suggestions for places to visit, shoot at, or explore in NorCal, feel free to ask!
-
Each package I offer comes with a different number of delivered images, but I assure you that I'll include plenty of photos capturing every moment. I don't believe in setting a strict limit because I want to ensure you receive all the memories without holding any back. Unlike some photographers who use image limits to charge extra, I'm committed to fully capturing your memories and providing more than enough photos for you to cherish this special time in your lives.
-
The speed of delivery depends on factors such as the volume of photoshoots, my schedule, travel commitments, and holiday seasons. Generally, sessions take 5 weeks or less, while weddings take 7 weeks or less. I aim to return your images promptly, ensuring that I dedicate the necessary time to meet each image's requirements while delivering them to you as quickly as possible.
-
I firmly believe that editing contributes significantly to the magic of images; without this crucial step, the photos are only partially complete. I assure you that I won't omit any photos you want or need. If you feel that I might have missed delivering a specific photo, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm more than willing to review my images and send it to you (yes, I do make mistakes sometimes!). I'm committed to ensuring you don't miss out on preserving your cherished memories!
-
I ask for a 50% deposit to reserve your slot in my schedule. The remaining 50% is due 1-2 days after the weddings and photo shoots. If needed, you can divide these payments (up to three installments) to make it easier on your budget. I'm flexible and willing to accommodate your payment schedule!
-
I don't change your appearance unless it involves temporary skin blemishes or any imperfections that wouldn't usually be present (like bruises, scrapes, acne), unless you prefer to keep them in the photos. If there's something specific you're self-conscious about, please inform me, and I'll be particularly mindful of that aspect while posing you.
-
No, my prices are firm.
-
Travel within 50 miles of San Jose, CA included. If you want me to travel further than $50/h.
-
Certainly! I'm here to simplify the process for you. If you require suggestions or advice regarding outfits, location, or timeline, feel free to reach out to me.
-
I love embracing whatever weather conditions we encounter because they often add a beautiful and distinctive touch to the photos. However, if the weather is severe enough that it would either create an unpleasant experience during our shoot or potentially damage my equipment, I'm completely open to rescheduling.
-
Hopefully a situation like this won’t occur. And if it happens, it would only happen if circumstances were beyond my control (such as acts of God, illness, or unforeseen circumstances like death). In this unlikely event, I will make every effort to find a replacement photographer whom I trust and who shares a similar style, although I'm not legally obligated to do so. If I'm unable to attend your wedding, you will receive a refund of your money.
-
Once a deposit has been placed for a specific date and circumstances require you to reschedule or cancel, the initial deposit is legally non-refundable. Rescheduling within 72 hours without good reasons that are beyond your control will incur a $100 reschedule fee at the discretion of the photographer.
-
Your online gallery has an online print store where you can select photos to print.
-
I do! I can only take 2-3 destination weddings this year.
-
No sweat! You email me, we set up a quick video call to chat and make sure we're a good match, and then I'll send over a contract and invoice that you can handle with just a few clicks.
