What to Expect
The full photography experience
Beyond just showing up with a camera
this is about creating space for you to be fully present
I document love stories wherever they happen—your favorite place, a packed dance floor, somewhere halfway across the world, or right in your own backyard. Big wedding, tiny elopement, or something that doesn’t quite fit into a box, I’m here for all of it.
I love working with both digital and film. Digital for the clarity and color, film for the grain and soul. Together, they tell the whole story—the way it looked, the way it felt, and all the little pieces you’ll want to remember.
I always want it to feel like you’re just hanging out with a friend. I’ll give direction when needed, but otherwise I’m there to capture real moments as they happen. The goal is natural, comfortable,
genuine photos that actually feel like you.
What it's like working with me
I’ll tell you what to do… but only when you need it.
I'm there to guide you through portraits so you don’t feel weird, then disappear into the background to catch the real, unscripted moments.
From spontaneous hugs to tearful laughs and playful chaos, those are the memories that stick.
the unscripted moments are the magic.
documenting a day you'll remember forever
The experience
While you're exchanging vows or dancing with your people under string lights, I'm quietly working through the timeline, coordinating the next shot, and making sure the day flows without you having to think about logistics.
I focus on what's happening between the big moments—the way you look at each other when you think no one's watching, the laughter that catches you off guard, the quiet pauses that say everything.
My goal is simple: you stay in the moment, I handle the rest.
What This Looks Like:
I'm with you for the full day (or multiple days if you want rehearsal dinner or welcome party coverage). Most wedding packages include an engagement session so you're comfortable with me before the big day. Everything gets shot on digital and film.
I coordinate with your other vendors to keep the timeline moving, handle lighting and location logistics, and step in with gentle direction when needed. Otherwise, I'm just documenting what unfolds.
Wherever you're getting married, I'm there. Your location matters, and I want to show it off.
Weddings:
The Whole Celebration
It's a thousand small moments that add up to the day.
My job is to catch those—the planned ones and the ones that just happen. The moments you'll remember and the ones you didn't even notice but will love seeing later.

"I do" in the great outdoors...
Some couples hike to a summit at sunrise with a backpack and their dog. Some bring ten people to a meadow for an afternoon ceremony followed by champagne and a picnic. Some split it into two days—one private, one with everyone.
What This Looks Like:
Coverage is flexible—a few hours or a full day, depending on what you’re planning. I help with location scouting, permit logistics, and building a timeline that makes sense for your day. Everything’s shot on digital + film, and I’ll coordinate my work with any vendors you’re bringing (officiant, florist, etc.).
If you’re not sure where to start with planning, that’s what I’m here for. We’ll figure it out together.
There's no right way to do it. The point is that it feels like yours.
"I do" in the great outdoors...
I'm based in Lake Tahoe, which means I know the Sierra Nevada better than most—where the light hits at golden hour, which trails lead to the best ceremony sites, how to navigate permits and seasonal access.
But I don't just shoot here. I regularly work throughout California and the west, and I'm always ready to travel for the right story.
