What would you like couples to know about you?
The way I approach wedding photography is deeply tied to my identity as an artist. My background in contemporary art informs how I see the world—how light interacts with texture, how emotions live in the smallest gestures, and how a single moment can tell a layered story. For couples who choose to work with me, this means wedding imagery that reflects the nuance of their shared journey and the heart they’ve put into every aspect of their wedding.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Los Angeles but also spend a portion of the year in New York.
How would you describe your style?
My work is influenced by both editorial and photojournalistic styles, combining a thoughtful eye for composition with an intuitive approach to storytelling. The result is a balance of striking visuals and candid emotion, preserving moments that feel as genuine as they are beautiful.
What inspires you?
I’m inspired by what I can see and feel—art, architecture, and the intentionality behind good design. But I’m equally drawn to the things that are harder to pinpoint: the energy of a space, the rhythm of two people deeply in tune with each other, and the moments that seem to hold more meaning than words could ever describe. It’s this combination of the tangible and intangible that fuels my creativity.
How would you describe your working style?
My working style is all about balance. I believe there’s a time for observation and a time for creative direction, and I move seamlessly between the two depending on the moment. I approach weddings with curiosity and care, drawing on editorial and photojournalistic influences to document your story in a way that feels both artful and deeply personal.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
I shoot both digitally and on film, depending on what best suits the moment and the couple’s vision.
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
All of our packages are custom made to best suit our couples exact needs and preferences.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
I’d be thrilled to go anywhere my couples find meaningful and inspiring.
Who is your dream client?
My dream client is a couple who sees their wedding as an extension of their shared story. They’re thoughtful, creative, and value experiences over trends. They’ve curated a life that’s deeply meaningful to them and want their wedding to reflect that intentionality. They’re excited to collaborate and trust me to tell their story in an honest, yet nuanced way. Most importantly, they see the value in all kinds of moments on their wedding day–the quiet ones, the big emotional ones and everything in between.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
Keep what matters most at the center of your plans, trust your team with the details, and allow space for surprises. The feeling of being caught off guard by something that moves you will create moments more meaningful than anything you could have planned.
