Based in San Diego, I work across California, including the Central Coast (Paso Robles, Templeton, San Luis Obispo), Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and Palm Springs and Joshua Tree, and I'm available worldwide. Recent destinations include Scotland.

Captured on film and digital for range and nuance, then finished in faithful, true-to-color grading. Expect polished yet honest imagery and a presence that lets the day unfold naturally. Documentary at heart, with gentle direction when it matters.
Yes! It's a great opportunity for us to get comfortable working together before the wedding, and you'll walk away with a gallery of images that feel like you, candid, real, and unscripted. Whether it's a casual beach stroll, a cozy at-home session, or an adventure somewhere meaningful to you, we'll create something authentic.
My approach is all about observation and anticipation, with as much or as little direction as you want along the way. I focus on the natural flow of the day, reading body language, emotions, and interactions to capture moments as they happen. I move with intention, staying present but unobtrusive, always looking for the in-between moments, the nervous hand squeeze before the ceremony, the way your parents look at you when you're not watching, the laughter between friends when they think no one's paying attention.
I use light, composition, and movement to create images that feel immersive and real, so when you look back at your gallery, it feels like stepping right back into those moments. My goal is for you to fully experience your wedding day without worrying about the camera, trusting that every meaningful detail is being documented as it unfolds naturally.
The turnaround time for your sneak peeks is 1 week and your completed, polished photo gallery is normally 6 to 8 weeks. I value quality above all else, so I make sure to take my time perfecting every gallery before sending it out. Please keep in mind that sometimes creating photos that meet these standards means the timeline can run a little past that.
Yes! My approach is based on documentary practices, real moments as they happen, with as much or as little posing as you want along the way. I blend in and capture everything from the quiet, intimate moments to the wild energy on the dance floor, so your gallery feels like stepping right back into your wedding day. It's a natural, authentic way to document your day.
If you're looking to blend documentary and editorial, I've got you too. It all comes down to what you want from me as your photographer.
Always and forever YES! I'm based in California, but I'd be more than happy to travel to any location you need me to. All weddings within the mainland United States have travel included in the package you choose. US states and territories outside the mainland receive a custom quote. All international weddings receive a custom quote. If you're getting married in one of my bucket list locations, Montana, Alaska, Greece, Peru, Portugal, Bali, Japan, Italy, or New Orleans, travel fees may be waived altogether.
Absolutely! If you'd like me to walk through your venue with you before the wedding, I'd be happy to. It's a great way to get familiar with the space, talk through any key moments, and plan for the best lighting and angles, all while keeping things stress-free and natural. While I don't rely on shot lists or overly structured plans, a walkthrough can help ensure everything flows seamlessly on the day.
