fleeting moments
Forever captured
Warm, documentary wedding photography for couples who want to experience their day - not perform it.
Warm, documentary wedding photography for couples who want to experience their day - not perform it.
After months to years of meticulous planning together, we're ready.
You wake up on your wedding day and you're not thinking about the photographer. You're thinking about the vows you wrote at midnight, the way your dress fits perfectly, the fact that everyone you love is about to be in one place.
I show up, and nothing changes. You don't perform. You don't pose unless we're doing portraits - and even then, it feels more like hanging out than being directed.
The day unfolds exactly the way you imagined it: organic, warm, authentic, alive. And most importantly - you were able to experience the whole thing together.
Then, eight weeks later, you open your gallery and the whole day rushes back. The light through the window while you were getting ready. The way your partner looked at you during the ceremony. The moment on the dance floor when you forgot anyone was watching.
That's the experience. That's what you're investing in.
You don't have to choose one or the other.
You get both.
I don't believe in picking one aesthetic and living with it forever. My work lives in the space between documentary and editorial — grounded in real moments, elevated by an eye for light, composition, and the kind of detail that makes a photo feel timeless.
You'll get the candid shots. The portraits. The details. The in-between moments no one told you to capture.
It all belongs in the same gallery, and it all feels like you.
I shoot on dual memory cards, meaning your images are backed up from the second I take them.
After your wedding, your files live on three hard drives that are from different brands & times of production.
If something catastrophic happens to one, your photos are still safe on the other two and no faulty batches or production issues will change that.
This is the part you shouldn't have to think about for a moment - I've got it covered.
The first time and every time you look at your photos for decades to come.
I move quietly and let the day breathe.
I let your natural moments unfold.
When the time is right, I'll gently guide and direct you so that you feel effortless & supported throughout the entire day.
I treat their experience like part of my job, because it is. I want them to have a great time too!
My couples walk away with galleries full of photos of their guests laughing & having fun and the vast majority will print and gift guest photos after their wedding. Ask me for assistance if you'd like to do this!
Most couples don't feel like "photo people."
By the end of the day, they forget that they're even taking them - and that's when the best photos happen.
I'll guide you gently when we need it, but you'll always feel like yourselves.
You don't have to choose between portraits and candid moments.
I capture both, every time - so that your gallery feels complete, not like you picked a style and lived with the tradeoff.
I'm here to guide your photography exerience every step of the way.
Reach out through my contact page and tell me about your day and vision - your date, your venue, any plans or ideas you have, and what you're most excited about. Anything that is important to you. The more details the better!
If I'm available, we'll hop on a call to talk through your vision, answer any questions, and make sure we're aligned on your vision.
If it's the right fit, I'll send over a proposal with a contract and invoice. A signed contract and 50% retainer locks in your date.
This is where we get comfortable with each other before your wedding day and how we make sure portraits flow smoothly.
We'll spend an hour together - usually at a location that means something to you - and you'll get to experience being in front of my camera.
By the end, you'll know what to expect on your wedding day, what I mean when I prompt something, and you'll have a gallery of images you actually love to use for your website and save-the-dates.
After booking, you'll receive my Wedding Planning Guide. It's full of ideas, thoughts, and my tips and tricks for a great day.
I'll send you a detailed questionnaire covering your timeline, must-have shots, and vendor details.
Then we'll hop on a call to walk through everything together.
I'll also being in contact with your planner directly so everyone's on the same page before your day arrives.
I show up, and you forget I'm there.
I move quietly through your day, capturing everything as it unfolds — the getting ready, the ceremony, the portraits, the reception.
You won't feel overly directed or interrupted. You'll just feel present.
And when it's over, you'll trust that I got it all.
Within one weeks, I'll send you a gallery of sneak peek images - your first look back at the day.
Your full gallery arrives in eight weeks. Professionally edited with my signature warm, film-inspired tones, fully backed up, and delivered with download, sharing & printing rights included.
For most full-day weddings, expect 600–900 images.
Your gallery comes with full printing rights - these are your photos to keep, share, and print however you'd like. That said, please don't print from your phone or a drugstore kiosk. Even worse, please don't let them live on your phone or computer forever. Your images deserve better.
I work with professional print labs and can recommend products, paper types, and sizes that will make your photos look as stunning in print as they do on screen.
If you want a custom album or wall art, I also offer full design services! Printing through me means more customizable options to tell your unique story.
You will receive sneak peeks within one week of your event or session! The rest of your gallery will be ready in 8 weeks or less.
I am based in San Francisco, CA & I would love to travel for you & your special moments!
Photography has brought me all over the Bay Area, back home to New Mexico, and to Vermont! I've even been to a wedding photography workshop in Lake Como, Italy! I can't wait to see where I go next.
If you're interested in bringing me along for your special day, please inquire for a custom quote based on location & your specific needs!
Once you've signed your contract, you'll be able to pay via credit or debit card or bank transfer. All of this will be sent to you via a secure client portal.
After your session, I will go home and immediately backup your photos to 3 separate hard drives. I use 3 different brands to avoid any faulty parts or malfunctions. I also keep one in a fire-safe container at all time to ensure that nothing happens to your photos!
For full wedding-days, couples typically spend $7550 and up to 10 hours of coverage from 2 photographers.

To reserve your date, all I need is a signed contract & a retainer payment!

For elopements - there is a 50% retainer payment and the remaining balance is due 30-days prior to your event.
For all other session types, there is a 50% retainer payment and the remaining balance is due 7 days prior to your session.
