Hello friends! I wanted to give a little heads up: starting January 1st, my pricing will be increasing for both weddings and sessions. I’ve been investing in better gear, film, editing, efficiency, and in my own teammates to elevate the full experience.

If you’ve been thinking of booking with me with my current rates, now is the time.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported me this year. I’m so grateful for the couples, families, and bands who trust me with their moments. This year has been a journey and I can't wait to continue it with new experiences next year. From photographing in my hometown and beyond. I love you all!

Sleeping With Sirens was such an epic ride. I’ve spent a long time chasing love stories, but shots like these reminded me why I fell in love with the camera in the first place.

Most people know me as a wedding photographer. But deep down, I’ve always been a concert fanatic, so I attend live music when I can. My dream has always been to tour with a talent, so I can document raw moments that only exist for a heartbeat.

I doubted that version of me, but I'm ready to take on a big step in my life. No worries, I'll still do my weddings ;) I just need to flap some more wings.

I flew in the night before from San Diego to Salt Lake City, and prepared all day for this. Somewhere in the chaos, I caught a glimpse of (last slide). Witnessing him in his element felt like watching a living film, which led to a reminder of the kind of life I want to chase. Thank you for being part of my story, even if it was only for a minute. Thanks to for the opportunity. More pics soon!

The point of Sunset Cliffs is to get married at Sunset... at the cliffs, right? This was a dreamy microwedding/elopement with a surprise in the end :) Blue hour in San Diego towards the end? No problem.

Another beautiful wedding this year with beautiful people! Congrats to L+C! Everyone did an amazing job putting this together!

I am always honored to take some documentary pictures of a dream couple in the city life of San Diego, and work with local vendors. Fruitcraft is a cute, intimate spot in the heart of Hillcrest, and if you are looking for modern greenery, this is the spot. The simple details with off white and greens are to die for! This stunning couple did an amazing job matching the vibe. More to come!

Rain, Palm Trees and Beach moody vibes in La Jolla is such a unique experience, showing that no matter where you go, you will still love each other and that is the beauty itself. But the clear umbrellas are the way to go!

Also, posting this because it's rainy and cloudy in San Diego right now. It's still the vibe ;)

This playful, moody, creamy, elegant and romantic vibe is everything I need today. and I did an anniversary photoshoot up in the Bay Area at Muir Woods National Park, and it was like old times. I always enjoy catching up with them and I'm grateful they chose me as their wedding photographer. San Diego may be my hometown, but I am always up for a road trip to the mountains and trees to capture both the beauty of the nature and the couple. If you are someone who loves adventure and getting out there, especially for elopements or portraits, hit me up! I would love to make art with you

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Had a blast in Park City Mountain in Utah capturing my friend's epic surprise proposal and then shredding down those mountains. It was a beautiful day and I hope to come back here again.
