Life unfolds beautifully when we allow it to. My approach isn’t about orchestrating perfection; it’s about capturing the organic, unfiltered beauty of your celebration—the genuine moments that resonate long after the day has passed.

I embrace a documentary style, where authenticity reigns supreme. It’s not about staging scenes but rather uncovering the true essence of your love story. From trembling tears to radiant smiles, it's crucial that I preserve these fleeting moments with minimal interference, ensuring your memories remain vivid and untouched.

You're here because of the images you’ve seen... only possible because of the couples who have opened their hearts to me and invited me in. It’s a mutual exchange—a partnership of trust and genuine connection.

Specializing in intimate weddings allows me to pour my heart into every frame, capturing the details that make your day uniquely yours—the heirlooms, the songs, the moments that define your love story.

You’re drawn here because you value authenticity and freedom—a day centered on peace and where spontaneity thrives. Timelines can be hazy, you can choose to spend the morning together or embrace a last-minute change of plans, and I encourage you to follow your hearts and celebrate in a way that makes you both feel connected and free.

I draw inspiration from the intention behind weddings—the people, the details, and most importantly, the love that binds it all together. Let’s celebrate your individuality, design a day that reflects you two, and create memories that live long after the day is done. Create your own traditions. Forget the ones that don’t feel right. I'll be here to capture it all.

I currently offer wedding  coverage for celebrations that are under 100 guests. I am Southern California based and take on a limited number of travel weddings per year.

On average, couples typically invest between 8,000 and 13,000 for photography coverage with the option to include full weekend documentation. Every wedding is unique, so I provide customizable packages and a la carte options tailored to your specific desires and needs.
