This session didn’t start in the lake. It just ended there 🌊

These two were in town for wedding planning, so we carved out time for an engagement session while they were here.

We started on a quiet stretch of shoreline, talked through ideas, followed the light, and went from there.

When it became clear they were up for a little adventure, we leaned into it — wading into the lake, climbing onto granite boulders, and finishing the session waist-deep in the water.

I care a lot about reading the people in front of my camera and meeting them where they are. Some couples want playful, some want quiet, some want a little romance — often it’s a mix of all three.

My job is to create space for that, so you can relax, be yourselves, and walk away with images that actually feel like you.

Some love stories start far from home 🌍✈️

This couple met overseas and brought their closest friends and family back to the Sierra Nevada for their wedding at Sugar Bowl Ski Resort’s lakeside venue.

I loved capturing these moments: candid expressions during the vows, their exhilaration as they exited the ceremony, and the energy of the dance floor lit only by string lights. I’m grateful they trusted me to capture it in my own style- honest, raw, unfiltered, and real.

It’s wild- I can’t believe how many proposals I photographed this year! Each one takes careful planning, so it’s especially satisfying when the photos capture all the genuine emotions.

This was a Tahoe proposal with truly stunning views. 🏔️🍾🥂

I photographed this couple on a warm summer afternoon, capturing everything from the surprise moment on the overlook to a relaxed mini-engagement session along the shoreline.

Every proposal has its own rhythm, and my job is to let it unfold naturally while making sure the light, timing, and scenery all line up.

He popped the question, she said yes, and we spent a little extra time celebrating with champagne and capturing candid moments against the lake and mountains.

Thinking about proposing in Tahoe? I can help you plan the logistics and find the best locations for photos that actually capture the moment.

First-ever tent reception on the Everline Resort golf course!

This summer wedding featured a unique setup at the venue: a clear-top, candle-lit tent on the golf course, 200+ guests, and a live band keeping the celebration lively.

I focused on capturing real moments throughout the day, from quiet prep shots to candid reactions during the ceremony, and the details that made this day memorable.

Working with the venue team to document this new setup was a highlight. Huge thanks to the talented vendors and planners who made this day run so smoothly and brought everything together beautifully!
