About Anchor and Pine Collective

Anchor & Pine Collective is a San Diego–based elopement and micro-wedding photography studio led by photographer Helen. Inspired by the outdoors, natural light, and meaningful connection, Anchor & Pine Collective specializes in capturing intimate celebrations throughout Southern California and across the West.

With experience photographing elopements and intimate weddings throughout the PNW, Helen brings a calm, guided approach to every wedding day — supporting couples with light timeline direction and relaxed posing so moments feel natural and unforced. Her work blends candid storytelling with a deep respect for the landscapes that shape each celebration.

Giving back is a core part of the brand’s mission, with 5% of all profits donated to public lands. Anchor & Pine Collective partners closely with planners and venues who value intentional, low-key celebrations and offers preferred-vendor pricing and weekday elopement specials.
