Wedding photography is exciting, intimate, fast-paced and slow-motion all at once.

Whether you’re getting married at the top of a mountain, in your parents’ backyard, or at any other favorite spot, I’d love to join on your wedding journey. A frequent question is “what is you photography style?” and honestly, it changes based on the setting! I like to keep colors and exposures natural and realistic while also responding to the light I’m presented with. I truly love photography, and my eyes are peeled for special opportunities to mix documentation with artistry.

All weddings are different and my hourly pricing reflects the fact that not everyone needs a full day of coverage. Shoot me a message to receive an outline of my options, and we’ll go from there! Even if you’re worried about budget, I can make a special bundle or point you in the direction of another talented photographer.

About the PHOTOGRAPHER

Clara Rice

In high school my family went on a trip to Italy for ten days. With seemingly no warning I took nine rolls of film on that trip, using a dinky little point-and-shoot camera that I still love and occasionally even use.

I enrolled in my high school’s darkroom photography class and many chemicals later this landed me as a photography major at Northeastern University in Boston. It’s not an art school, but that's actually what I valued most out of the experience. My department was small but the teachers were great, and I got exposed to so many other people and their journeys.

Fast forward through a myriad of cameras, part-time jobs, strange apartments, and shoots with very compliant friends. The Bay Area took me in over ten years ago and I can’t imagine being anywhere else! I now live with my husband and toddler, navigating parenthood while running a business. Most of my free time is spent playing soccer and tennis, attempting to tire out our poodle Theo, and attempting to feed my toddler a food group other than raisins.

Weddings fit so naturally into my sensibilities because they involve every type of photography in one action-packed day! I love it all, from the the soft window light of getting-ready, to stealthily capturing emotional ceremonies, to playing with lights on the dance floor. Getting married was an amazing eye-opener into the value of wedding photos and the client’s perspective. I truly love being deeply involved in every aspect of the planning & execution, and appreciate the trust placed in me on such an intimate day. It's such a cool thing, and I'm here to help you remember it all.

By the way… I shoot non-weddings, too.
