Capturing the bride and groom’s special moments is always the focus, but equally important are the heartfelt reactions from their guests.

For this wedding, I was able to strike the perfect balance. Documenting the couple’s tender first dance while also freezing the joy, laughter, and applause of their loved ones. It’s these collective moments that truly tell the story of the day.

In this iconic location @saratogaspringsweddings , I used the natural curve of the architecture to frame the couple, drawing all focus to their intimate moment. The light streaming in created the perfect spotlight, illuminating their connection amidst the serene backdrop. I then got closer to capture their beautiful connection in that moment.

Timeless moments in black and white. There's something uniquely captivating about stripping away color—it lets the emotion take center stage. I love switching up my style to keep each gallery interesting and capture all the details in a different light. These monochrome shots tell a story of pure love and laughter. 🤍🖤

Sometimes, it’s the quiet, unspoken moments that hold the most meaning. Capturing these in-between moments allows for a deeper story to be told — one of anticipation, reflection, and pure emotion. My goal is to freeze these fleeting seconds, giving you images that go beyond the posed portraits. They’re the memories you might have missed but will cherish forever. This is the true value of photography, preserving the full spectrum of your special day.

Point Sur Engagement

This engagement session was fun and very interesting. My client was on a work trip to the Bay Area from Texas and wanted to propose at sunset on the beautiful California coast.

I scouted the perfect location the day before and it turned out amazing. It was a huge surprise to his fiance and I'm glad I captured the perfect moment for them.

One of the reasons I made my pricing by session, instead of hourly, is so the Client and myself don't stress about how long I am there for and how much I am getting paid.

Of course time is still a factor in pricing, but I am there to capture special moments and make beautiful photographs, not clock in for an 8 hour shift.
