Your san francisco, napa, and sonoma based Wedding, Engagement, and Lifestyle photographer

Bay Area + Beyond

Digital + Film Photography

Here's the thing about your wedding day – it deserves to be documented by someone who gets it. Not just the big moments, but all those little in-between bits that make your story uniquely yours.

You won't find yourself in awkward poses or being forced into moments that don't feel like you. Instead, think of me as your close friend who just happens to be really great with a camera. I'll be there catching your mom's happy tears, your best friend's incredible toast, and the perfect sunset moment when you steal away for five minutes just the two of you.

Together, we'll create a collection of your memories that feel as timeless as your love story.

After 230+ weddings and a wild decade behind the camera, I've learned that the best celebrations are the ones where you can truly be YOU.

From San Francisco's foggy coastline to sun-drenched Napa vineyards, I'm all about capturing those real, unscripted moments that make your heart skip a beat. You know the ones – the happy tears, the belly laughs, the secret glances, and those dance moves you swore would never see the light of day (they totally will).

Think of me as your personal memory-keeper with a creative twist. I'm here to make you feel like your most authentic self, keep those pre-wedding butterflies in check, and document every delicious moment of your celebration.

I never actually thought I'd be a wedding photographer, but here we are...
