EXPERIENCE
The hug your mom gives you after putting on your veil. The way his face looks when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you can't keep your eyes off each other. Your guests laughing and crying happy tears. Those are the moments I am there to capture.
After photographing more than 300 weddings over the past 14 years, I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. I've learned how getting to know my couple's and planning and organization helps the day unfold effortlessly.
The couple's you see in my portfolio are all real couple's at real weddings. They were just like you- excited about their day, nervous about being in the spotlight, not sure how to pose for photos. And as the day came to an end, they were exhilarated and beyond happy at how fun and amazing their day was, including the photography.
This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you choose. It's about coming together and celebrating with the ones you love the most. It's my goal to help make it as fun, relaxed, and beautiful as possible while making photography a seamless part of the fun.

open for travel
Are you looking for a destination wedding photographer? I'd love to hear about your needs- traveling is my favorite and I am always up for an adventure.
I specialize in garden, vineyard, and barn weddings. Most of my engagements take place at the beach. I am comfortable with any type of venue big or small, elegant or rustic.
I like to split my time between the San Luis Obispo, the coast and Santa Barbara. It's always wonderful to head south to the towns of Thousand Oaks, Carpinteria, Montecito, San Ynez, and Santa Barbara for a change of vibe. I adore the whitewashed adobe of the Missions, the crawling bouganvilla, and the warm golden light on the white sandy
Santa Barbara beach venues.
