As a military spouse, travel has been a constant in our lives — and it’s shaped the way I see the world, the way I raise my family, and the way I serve my couples. I’ve lived in Germany, Hawaii, and across the U.S., and each new home has brought fresh perspective, deep gratitude, and a love for celebrating beauty wherever it’s found.
That sense of movement and meaning is woven into how I photograph love stories. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding in Europe or a garden ceremony stateside, I bring the same level of care, emotional presence, and quiet professionalism — always adapting to the moment, the light, and your vision.
To ensure an elevated, fully personalized experience, I take on a limited number of weddings each year. This allows me to be fully present with each couple — devoting time, care, and creative attention to every celebration, every gallery, and every love story I have the honor of documenting.
We’re the Silvas — a military family of five who love traveling, laughing, and being just a little too competitive during game night. My husband Ryan is my best friend, biggest supporter, and the reason I believe so deeply in marriage. We’ve lived in Hawaii, Germany, and Georgia — but our roots (and hearts) will always be tied to California and our family there. Our kids, Nolan, Elena, and Ariana, keep life busy, fun, and full of joy… especially during our favorite time of year: Halloween and Christmas!
These two sample timelines (one with a first look, one without) will help you visualize the flow of your day — so you can make the decision that feels right for you.
