Tell us about your business!
My approach to photography is rooted in the present moment. After observing hundreds of couples on their wedding day, I am passionate about helping them stay present throughout their celebration. I recognize that photography can often take over and dominate the schedule. Instead, I create a seamless photography experience that allows my couples to soak up every moment of their celebration. To maintain this level of service, I only accept a limited number of weddings each year.
Where are you based?
Los Angeles, CA.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, I have traveled as far as the Alps of Switzerland for my couples. I also often travel between LA (my home), SF, and NYC.
I’m always happy to travel internationally. I love being inspired by new places and bringing that fresh perspective into the photographs I create for you.
How would you describe your style?
I would describe my style as 'lived in' yet elegant.
In practice, when observing and photographing a wedding day, I look to create images that have context and paint the picture of what is unfolding. This artistic approach extends to my editorial portraits as well. I create a collection that feels intimate and refined - a visual legacy that becomes more meaningful with each passing year.
What inspires you?
Seeing my couples bring their unique taste, fashion sense, and personalities into their celebration.
How would you describe your working style?
I'm always seeking balance. I'll step in when needed, but I'll often stay back and allow moments to unfold and be as they are. I never want my couples' wedding day to feel like one giant photoshoot. I work closely to create a photo timeline that supports your vision and the experience you desire.
Do you shoot digitally, on film, or both?
I love both film and digital and use them every wedding day. Film does have a special place in my heart and I think it's such a lovely medium for capturing celebrations.
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
Absolutely. Each couple receives a bespoke proposal crafted specifically for their celebration, ensuring every element of your photography experience is tailored to your unique vision.
What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?
Full weekend coverage: After photographing weddings for many years, I've found that the more time I spend with the couple and guests, the more everyone lets their guard down. That vulnerability creates these beautiful, intimate photographs that wouldn't have been captured otherwise.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
The list is endless. Three destinations that particularly inspire me are the French countryside, Berlin, and Barcelona.
Who is your dream client?
Any couple who values throwing a fantastic party and immersing themselves in the present. If you're interested in fashion, architecture, or good food, we'll have plenty to talk about.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
- Focus on your joy. It’s contagious, I promise.
- During planning, concentrate on what brings you ease and carry that into your wedding day.
- Bring on vendors who center your vision and peace.
These three things will create space for you to enter the present moment, allowing your photographs to become genuinely inimitable.
