I’m a California-based wedding photographer blending a fly-on-the-wall approach with thoughtful direction, so couples receive both genuine moments and beautifully composed portraits.
With over 16 years of experience, I care deeply about creating images that allow you to return to your wedding day and relive how radiant you felt, how much love was shared, and how many memories were made. 

Images entwined with real, genuine memories are the ones that tug at our hearts. The moments when you let go—when you truly laughed, truly cried, truly felt—are the ones that allow you to relive your wedding day and what it truly meant.




We all want to love the way we look in our photos- it's so important to feel radiant and comfortable. I provide guidance on how to stand, move, and help you relax and have fun. Every bride deserves to shine in her dress, and every groom deserves to fele at ease.




My approach is rooted in presence and instinct. I move quietly through your day, observing what unfolds naturally, then step in with thoughtful direction when it’s time to create composed, fashion-influenced portraits. This balance allows your wedding to feel uninterrupted while still resulting in imagery that feels intentional, expressive, and distinctly yours—real moments, elevated with care.

let's start with a zoom call

full wedding day coverage

film & Drone Photography

Once you inquire and I confirm your date is available, the next step is to schedule a Zoom call. This is our chance to connect, get to know one another, and walk through the logistics and vision for your day. Every collection I offer is thoughtfully customized for each couple, shaped around your priorities, timeline, and the way you want your wedding to feel.


 Wedding days aren’t meant to be rushed or contained, and I believe the best work happens when there’s room for the day to unfold naturally. All collections begin with 8 hours of coverage, and from there, coverage can be thoughtfully expanded depending on how you’d like your story documented.


The nostalgic look of film us a beautiful element to add to any wedding. These images are creative, unique, and full of vintage appeal. Drone photography can add an extra level of dimension to your day and a perspective with real wow factor. Both are available on request in my collections.


My focus is always on honest moments and real emotion—so your gallery reflects the day as it truly unfolded. It’s important to see your wedding as a complete story and to relive the memories exactly as they happened, without ever being pulled out of the moment.

I work quietly throughout the day, then guide portraits with a relaxed, fashion-forward approach. The direction feels natural and enjoyable—not just for you, but for your family and guests—creating a more modern, interactive take on traditional portraits with an editorial finish.

This is the day you’ll likely look and feel your most beautiful—and you deserve photographs that show it. With calm, intentional direction, I help you feel confident and at ease. Bridal portraits are a favorite of mine, where fashion, presence, and emotion come together.

One of my couples’ favorite parts of working together is the sneak peek—a generous collection of images delivered within three days, so you can relive and share the highlights of your wedding without the wait. And beyond that, there’s no limit to how many images you’ll receive—every meaningful moment, beautifully delivered.

You deserve care, attention, and a photographer who is fully invested. I take on a limited number of weddings each season so every couple receives my full presence and attention. Because of this, dates tend to book early—I encourage you to reach out as soon as your date is set.

On average couples invest between $6,000–$9,000 to work with me. On our call, we’ll go over your wedding plans in detail and build the collection that fits your day—options can include an engagement session, a second photographer, wedding albums, full wedding weekend coverage, and more.

Travel within California is always included in my collections. For weddings outside of California, I offer thoughtfully curated multi-day coverage designed to fully support destination celebrations.

Based in San Luis Obispo, California, I photograph weddings across the United States and internationally. I happily travel throughout Europe, South America, and beyond, and am particularly drawn to celebrations in Charleston, New York, Italy, France, Great Britain, Greece, and Brazil. Travel is an essential part of my work, and I’m always ready to follow your plans wherever they lead. 

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all photography. Every wedding I photograph is shaped by the images you’re drawn to, the moments you’ve shared that matter most, and the care you’ve poured into every detail of your day.

I offer a highly attentive, personalized experience—taking the time to truly get to know you, building trust and ease long before the wedding arrives. I’m closely involved throughout the planning process, collaborating with you and your planner on logistics, pacing, and creative direction so your day flows naturally and photographs beautifully. The result is imagery that feels considered, distinctive, and unmistakably yours—guided with intention, tailored with care, and created to stand apart.

If my style speaks to you, I welcome you to inquire and confirm availability. I’d love to hear about your wedding plans and thoughtfully explore whether we’re the right fit for your day.
