The beauty and awe of this world takes my breath away. I love people, their stories, and the way a connection rooted in passion and desire can unearth the most incredible parts of who we are. The way two people can be living their fullest lives and then, out of nowhere, someone comes along and feels like home. And from that place, something extraordinary grows.

That's what I get to photograph. And honestly, it never gets old.

I'm drawn to couples who are doing it their way. Not following a script, not performing for a room, just gathering the people they love most and giving them something real. An experience. A celebration that could only ever belong to them.

I photograph the way I live, from presence. I take time to understand who you are and how you move through the world, then fold myself into your day and let it reveal itself. I direct gently when it helps, disappear when it doesn't, and stay close to what's real. The moment after the ceremony when you're walking back down the aisle, you see everyone you love looking back at you, and then you find each other's eyes and everything lands at once. That moment. I live for that moment.

I blend film and digital throughout the day, each bringing its own essence, warmth, and depth to your story. The result is timeless, honest photography that holds the feeling of your celebration long after the day is gone.

I've been photographing weddings across the world for seventeen years, and I'm still inspired by every new destination, every culture, every couple that lets me in. I live beside the ocean in Southern California because this is where I feel most alive.

If you feel seen here, I'd love to hear your story.
