Hi, I'm Aiko! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Southern California, with a deep love for storytelling through imagery. My journey began with film photography, and those early roots continue to shape my approach today - intentional, nostalgic, and full of heart. I strive to capture honest, candid moments that feel timeless, like little time capsules you can return to again and again.

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of photographing weddings and portraits across the West Coast and the Hawaiian Islands. While I’m not from Hawai‘i, I was fortunate to live there for a season, and I hold deep gratitude for the people, culture, and beauty of the islands. I approach every session there with respect and care, knowing it’s a privilege to be invited into such meaningful moments in such sacred places.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a family session, or a celebration full of loved ones, my goal is to create space where you feel seen, comfortable, and truly yourself. Every story is different, and it's an honor to help tell yours in a way that’s personal, emotive, and lasting.

I’d love to be part of your journey.
