Artfully documenting celebrations with style, heart & soul
Not just photographed, but thoughtfully preserved.
With an eye for honest emotion and refined detail, I document celebrations in a way that feels both artful and deeply personal. Every image is created with intention — blending timeless storytelling, natural connection, and an editorial approach that allows your memories to feel effortless, elegant, and true to you.
My goal is for you to walk away from your wedding day feeling fully present, cared for, and genuinely at ease — knowing every meaningful moment was captured with intention. With a calm approach and an attentive eye for detail, I document your celebration thoughtfully and honestly, allowing you to enjoy your day while trusting that every moment, emotion, and carefully chosen detail is being preserved with care.
Investment
collections begin at $5,000
most couples invest $6,000-8,000
Investing in your wedding photography is investing in a lasting legacy — moments you’ll revisit for decades. Reflecting the thoughtful preparation, artistry, and personal attention every wedding receives.
Every couple is unique, and I love creating a tailored experience that fits your vision, timeline, and celebration. I accept a limited number of weddings per year to ensure each experience is curated, intimate, and elevated.
Why Film?
My love for film runs much deeper than simply appreciating its beautiful aesthetic—it’s deeply rooted in my story. Growing up, my dad documented our family with a film camera from the 1980s, preserving the moments that would later become some of my most treasured memories. Those photos sparked a lifelong love for film—its timeless beauty, rich colors, and unmatched sense of nostalgia. Today, photographing on film is my way of honoring where it all began while creating heartfelt, heirloom images that will be cherished for generations to come.
Yes, I’m based in Southern California and regularly photograph weddings throughout Palm Springs, Orange County, Los Angeles, and beyond. I’m always open to travel—destination celebrations are welcomed.

Wedding galleries are delivered within 6–8 weeks. I also send a small preview shortly after your wedding so you have something to relive and share right away.
