Where are you based?

I’m based on the Northern California coast near San Francisco, CA. However, I spend a lot of time in upstate New York where I grew up and my family still resides, so I consider both to be my local base.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely! Anywhere and everywhere.

How would you describe your style?

Observational, intuitive, laid-back, romantic, and at times editorial and experimental. My goal is to take photos that feel alive and true.

What inspires you? 

I’m inspired by nostalgia. I’m always trying to bottle up fleeting moments or feelings in tangible form to hold onto, the way an old photograph can just transport us back into another time entirely. I’m someone who feels everything deeply, so I think the emotional aspect of my personality is always a big driving force behind my work (A classic Pisces). I’m also deeply inspired by nature, design, and music.

How would you describe your working style?

I approach wedding days with warmth, curiosity, and intention - ready to observe and be a calming and grounding presence. I spend a lot of time getting to know my couples on a personal basis, which allows me to integrate myself into wedding days more seamlessly and as a result, capture moments in a way that really resonates with them and their story.

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

Both! Film is the most inspiring to me and what I tend to reach for most, but I find both mediums to be an essential part of a gallery.

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs? 

Of course! No two weddings are the same, so I am always happy to customize offerings.

Where would you love to travel to for work?

Too many destinations to list! But currently at the top of my list are Australia, New Zealand, Southern France, Scotland, and South Africa.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

Hire vendors that you wholeheartedly trust so you can be totally present. The best way to get beautiful and meaningful photos of your day is to immerse yourself fully in the experience. There’s so much magic to be found in the unexpected and unplanned!
