“Eunice is one of the best humans I know. She really cares about people and you can tell by having just one conversation with her. She brought so much energy to our day, whether it was joining us for a morning swim in the ocean or joining in on karaoke and the dance party while still taking photos throughout the evening. It truly would not have been the same without her.” — the kindest words from my past bride (and friend), Sam.
My name’s Eunice. You can usually find me somewhere outdoors, watching Bong Joon Ho movies or drinking margs at Chili’s. I’m deeply in love with my dog and my partner, Jeffrey (in that order) and I really, really love my job.
I’m passionate about getting to know people ─ it’s my favorite part about being a photographer. I want to know who you are, who you love, what kind of music makes you dance, and which Survivor contestant you think is going to win this season.
In the midst of photographing all the big moments of your life, I’m also here to capture the ordinary ones in between. Because when you look back on these photos fifty years from now, it won’t matter which ones your hair looked best in or got the most likes on Instagram. I care about those photos that will transport you back to that moment and remind you exactly how it felt.
I’m most inspired by those little moments that make you feel big feelings ─ like when you’re at a concert and you hear them play the first few notes of your favorite song, or when your partner comes home with a surprise sweet treat after a long day.
Whatever that moment is for you, I’m here to listen. To learn. To capture it through a photograph.
As someone with over ten years in the industry (and having been a past bride myself), I’m incredibly passionate about weddings and know just how special it is to have all of your favorite people in the world in one place; and how magical it feels to look at a photo and think, “wow, you can really see our personality in that photo” or “wow, that photo really looks and feels like us.”
That’s why, for me, being a documentary photographer starts with getting to know you — your humor, your love languages, your personalities — and taking all of that knowledge, and using it to create photographs that really feel like you.
Being a great documentary photographer means knowing the delicate balance of capturing things as they happen, but also knowing how to guide you when the camera shyness kicks in and you need a bit of help feeling like yourself in front of a lens. It’s knowing when to let a moment be, and when to jump in with a suggestion. It’s knowing when to be a fly on the wall, and when to throw yourself into the group. Most of all, it’s about coming in with an openness that allows everyone to feel like they can be themselves in front of my camera, and being ready for whatever happens.
My biggest priority will always be that you get to truly be present on your wedding day. I’m just here to elevate the experience, and get some beautiful photographs of it all.

“Eunice was one of the best parts, if not the best part, of our wedding. Her energy was so positive, professional and encouraging from the second she entered the room. I was so relieved and happy to see her, especially because she was full of compliments and praise from the second she saw me. She would also just check on me (the stressed out bride) throughout the night. By the time we were wrapping up, she felt less like a hired photographer and more like a mentor / friend.” — from my past bride (now friend), Laura.
