I never planned to become a wedding photographer.

There was a season of my life when everything felt uncertain, and I found myself reaching for a camera. Not only to make beautiful photographs, but because I was afraid I would not remember the details that make the bigger picture complete.

That changed everything.

It taught me that the moments we value most are rarely the ones we expect. The glance from across the room. A hand on someone’s back. A laugh that lasts a second and then it is gone.

I love beautiful light and thoughtful composition, but above all I want my work to feel honest.

Because one day, these photographs will not only remind you what your wedding looked like. They will remind you who was there, how it felt, and how the two of you looked at each other.

I live on the Monterey Peninsula and photograph weddings from Carmel and Pebble Beach to Big Sur, with a second photographer beside me when your day needs one.

When I am not at a wedding, you will usually find me cycling through the Del Monte Forest or walking at sunrise in Pacific Grove, with my family close by.

I love the moment you look into each other’s eyes and feel loved, with your family and friends all around you. It is a privilege.
