I look forward to hearing from you!)

I AM:
A lover of classic, clean photos. Relaxed and focused. A seasoned professional since 2006 with 150+ weddings under my belt. Down-to-earth with a sense of humor. The go-to post-production editor, album designer and second shooter. Logistics minded. A user of natural light and capturer of genuine moments. Aware of when to direct and when to hang back and l

et things unfold naturally. Recently married (and understand the madness that can be the wedding planning process). Determined to make you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the lens. Appreciative of good design. Published on A Practical Wedding, Style Me Pretty, San Francisco Bay Guardian, PhotoMint, Rue, SOMA, and Hyphen. A gluttonous foodie and an aspiring yogi. Fond of intimate weddings. A believer that everyone should be able to get married. Constantly challenging myself creatively and artistically. YOU ARE:
Looking forward to a stress free wedding day with friends and family. Ready for a celebration and not a fashion magazine photo shoot. Understanding that reality can be just as fabulous as fantasy. Hoping for photos that you can cherish for generations. Looking for a photographer you can trust and connect with. (And most importantly) excited to get married!

We didn’t have engagement rings - instead we exchanged engagement kittens! A few months after our engagement, we adopted our kittens Comet and Nova from the SF SPCA. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our commitment than by expanding our family with two furry beasts.
