Hopeless romantic (and total Enneagram 3w2), chaser of warm light, lover of texture, and the beautiful colors and tones brought to life on medium format. 

My journey with photography began at a young age, fueled by a fascination with the ability to freeze a moment in time, to block out all the noise around us and focus on that one, perfect moment.

The true power of photography hit me profoundly in high school when my dad passed away suddenly. It was then that I truly understood that photos are what connect us to the past. They help us remember not just the people, but also the feelings and emotions of those precious moments. This realization has become the cornerstone of my philosophy as a wedding photographer: to capture the essence of love and connection in a way that is timeless and deeply meaningful.

The artist

San Diego, California

My approach to photography is a blend of editorial and photojournalistic styles. I document the beautiful moments as they happen naturally, while also providing gentle direction to ensure my couples feel comfortable and true to themselves. My style is chic, intimate, and authentic. Emotional storytelling is at the heart of my work—I strive to create photos that you can feel, where you can hear the laughter and feel the love.

Documenting weddings is an absolute honor and privilege. I aim to highlight the beauty in the fleeting glances, the joyous laughter, and the heartfelt tears, ensuring that every image reflects the genuine love and connection shared.
