I’m a mixed medium artist working on capturing life stories in and around California. My speciality is smaller, more intimate weddings focused on the community you’ve built around yourself.

I like to say I’m a San Francisco wedding photographer but for now I call Sacramento home. I find myself traveling up and down the west coast most weekends to document new people in new places with very old cameras.

I like to say I’m a San Francisco wedding photographer, but for now I call Sacramento home. However, I find myself in some corner of California most weekends. I’m especially enamored with San Francisco, and spend most of my time shooting in the city. In addition to photos, I also create various fruits, veggies, and a hard cider here and there.

This approach isn’t for those who want editorial, vogue style imagery. It won’t be full of hyping up, posing, or prompting in order to fast track beautiful photos. While there may be some portraits taken here and there, the focus will be less on controlling the situation and more on simple presence. You bring me into your circle to focus on documenting the narrative, with discretion and low interference. I come in with no expectations, as a guest who happens to be good at making images for the future.

I hope those in the future like my images.

I hope they see themselves in them.

I hope they think you looked cool, human, comfortable.

And I hope,

more than anything,

that you do too.
