What would you like couples to know about you?


I am low-key, gentle and intuitive. I am a deep feeler, inspired by human connection and design, driven to capture and create meaning in life through relationship and art - often together.


Where are you based?


California.


Do you travel for weddings?


Yes! I am traveling all over the US and Europe for weddings in 2025.


How would you describe your style?


I am unobtrusive, thoughtful and observational when it comes to her approach. Taking ‘documentary’ to heart - I prefer to be immersed in my couple’s days as a friend, capturing the happenings and details of weddings as they unfold naturally. I intuitively move between my many cameras, knowing how to artfully capture any moment. Instead of “posing”, I often make gentle suggestions or rather observing genuine moments between couples, families and friends. 


What inspires you?

1960’s & 70’s design, coffee table photo books, being in a new city, chatting with strangers on an airplane, documentaries, going to the movie theater.


Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?


Hybrid - but mostly film.


Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?


All of my pricing is custom and is based on the needs of each individual event.


Where would you love to travel to for work?


New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Rhode Island, Palm Springs, etc. I love to travel and welcome the opportunity to document your event wherever that may be!


What is your advice to couples getting married?


The best photos and galleries come from couples who are able to be present. Let go of any hypervigilance of the camera and have the best time. Laugh, cry, dance and feel whatever it is that you need to feel. Hold on to each other. These moments are what we seek and love to document because they are real.
