I don’t want to just photograph your wedding. I want to witness and document it — and give you something to hold onto forever.

who i am

I’m a Bay Area-based wedding photographer with a love for warm, honest, film-inspired imagery. My work lives somewhere between documentary and editorial; grounded in real moments, but with an eye for light, composition, and the kind of detail that makes a photo feel elegant.

I’ve photographed weddings all over California - from San Francisco rooftops to Napa vineyard estates to cliffside ceremonies in Carmel Valley. Every setting is different, but what I’m always looking for is the same: the truth of your day.

how i work

I’m a grounded, calm, and happy presence.

I move through your day intentionally — close enough to catch everything, unobtrusive enough that you forget I’m there. I don’t believe in manufactured moments or forced poses. I believe in good light, genuine connection, and letting your story unfold naturally.

That said — I’m not just a fly on the wall. I have a clear creative vision, and I use it. You’ll still get the portraits, the details, the family formals. We’ll do them intentionally and quickly, so we can get back to experiencing your day.

who i work best with

My couples tend to be thoughtful, creative professionals who care deeply about their self expression & their loved ones. They prioritize guest experience and want their wedding to feel like them.

They’re not chasing a trend - they’re investing in something real. They trust me as an artist, and I take that trust seriously.

Outside of their wedding, they tend to love nature, their pets, they care about the world and the people in it, and they probably have a strong opinion about where to get the best coffee or food around the city (and whole Bay Area lol).

If that sounds familiar, I think we should talk. :) 

my values

I believe in love, science, and human rights; I lead my life and my business with empathy & compassion. I celebrate love in every form.

All love & identities are welcome here.
