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 timeless. I’ve photographed weddings 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 quiet 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 humans & couples are welcome here.
