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 15 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.

Everything begins with an inquiry. From there, we connect over a zoom call—so I can hear about your plans, your priorities, and what truly matters to you on your wedding day. We talk through the flow of the day, the feeling you want it to have, and the images that inspire you most. On the call I will create a custom collection built around your needs. 


 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.


Documentary and editorial are everywhere—but for me, they’re not buzzwords. They’re a promise. I stay present and observant as moments unfold naturally, while also offering thoughtful guidance when a moment deserves intention. Nothing is forced, nothing staged for my sake. Your day leads; I follow with care.


Most of the time, I move quietly—like a soft presence in the room—never interrupting, never directing attention away from what matters. When guidance is needed, I step in gently, helping you reconnect to the heart of the moment rather than pulling you out of it. I don’t work from rigid shot lists or personal agendas. I let your celebration breathe, unfold, and become exactly what it’s meant to be.

limited couples- lots of care.

Every bride deserves to feel confident and beautiful in her gown. I gently guide you through a few intentional moments to shine, capturing you head to toe so your photos reflect not only how you looked, but how effortless and cared for you felt.

Thoughtful planning is what keeps photography from ever pulling you away from the joy. When everything is guided with intention, photos happen naturally in the background—never intrusive, never distracting.

You deserve care, attention, and a photographer who is fully invested. I take a limited number of weddings each season so you receives the time, presence, and experience you deserve.

Prime wedding dates often reserve up to two years in advance, so I recommend reaching out as soon as your date and venue are secured.

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.
