STEP 03
Capture
When your wedding day finally arrives, I am on the ground executing your vision seamlessly. I spend the day tracking your timeline, directing your portraits with relaxed prompts, and documenting your entire celebration using a dual-medium approach of high-end digital and soulful analog film. While I shoot your timeless gallery frames, I am also gathering raw, behind-the-scenes vertical video clips of the candid moments as they unfold
STEP 04
Deliver
You won't have to wait months in silence to see your memories. Within 24 hours, you will receive a comprehensive teaser gallery to share with the world, followed by raw behind-the-scenes video clips within 48 hours. Shortly after, your final cinematic digital and analog film archive will be beautifully delivered to your portal. Final galleries are ready within 6-8 weeks.
Our mission
How we capture the heart, the style, and the energy of your day.
I don’t believe in generic photography checklists or cold, hands-off shooting. Your wedding day is a living, breathing story, and I am there to document it exactly how it felt—vibrant, warm, and beautifully alive. By blending the soulfulness of analog film with intentional digital direction.
The Look: True-to-Color & Cinematic
You put so much heart into choosing your colors, your florals, and your design details, and I believe they deserve to be remembered exactly as they were. My style is true-to-color, rich, and timeless. I steer completely clear of passing editing trends or muddy filters. I want to honor the real depth of your color palette, the true texture of your fabrics, and the authentic beauty of your skin tones, giving you clean, cinematic images that never go out of style.
The Vibe: The Perfect Mix of Candid & Prompted
I believe the best photos happen when you feel completely safe, relaxed, and free to just exist in the moment. During those sweet, intimate parts of the day, I’m entirely behind the scenes—capturing the unscripted tears, the secret glances, and the real emotions of your favorite people. But when it’s time for portraits, don’t worry about a thing. I step in with fun, easy prompts and relaxed guidance to completely eliminate any stiff, awkward poses so you can just laugh, connect, and look effortless.
The Focus: Meticulous Details & Intimate Moments
To me, luxury is found entirely in the little details you’ve spent months dreaming up. I love to slow down and treat your details like a work of art. From styling beautiful, creative flat lays of your invitation suite, perfume, and family heirlooms, to capturing those close-up, intimate moments—like the soft touch of your hands or the quiet movement of your dress—every piece of your design is documented with love.
The Medium: Nostalgic Analog Film
There is something so incredibly romantic about authentic analog film that digital cameras just can't match. It has a beautiful, dreamy grain, soft colors, and a soulful texture that feels like a warm hug. By weaving analog film into your wedding day, we capture those quiet, nostalgic, and deeply personal moments in a way that feels beautifully poetic and timeless.
The Party: Creative & High Energy Flash
When the sun goes down and the music turns up, my camera transitions right along with the party! I love using creative, editorial direct-flash techniques to cut through the dark. Whether we’re sneaking away for some sleek, cinematic night portraits of just the two of you, or I'm right out in the middle of the dance floor freezing the wild, sweaty, beautiful motion of your guests—my flash work keeps your reception gallery crisp, vibrant, and full of high-fashion energy.
Frequently Asked Questions
01.
What Do Behind The Scenes Clips Entail?
Think of these as your instant, all-access pass to the unfiltered energy of your day! I capture them using a mix of my professional camera and a phone, grabbing quick video snippets of the raw, candid moments as they happen.
These clips are completely raw and unedited, meaning you get the real, unfiltered atmosphere of everything from your dress being fluffed to the wild energy of your dance floor. No one in your bridal party has to worry about recording on their phone—I handle it all. Best of all, these raw video files are delivered straight to you within 48 hours so you can relive the immediate high of your celebration right away!
02.
What is your policy on photo editing and retouching?
My editing style is focused on preserving your real, beautiful history. I do not do heavy Photoshop manipulation, body morphing, or crazy artificial altering.
However, I want you to look and feel your absolute best. I provide standard, clean retouching on all your final images to remove temporary distractions. This includes clearing up sudden acne or blemishes, softening skin cuts or bruising, and cloning out miscellaneous background distractions (like an exit sign or trash can).
03.
How many final images will we receive in our gallery?
I don’t believe in putting a rigid, artificial cap on your memories. Every celebration has its own unique rhythm, which is why I don't deliver a set, strict number of images. My goal is simple: I want you to have every single one of your best photos.
04.
Do you travel for weddings or destination sessions?
Absolutely! While I am based in California’s Central Valley and love shooting across our home state, my bags are permanently packed and I am ready to travel wherever your love story takes me.
If you are planning a celebration or an intimate portrait session outside of California, I would love to co-create with you. Because I am actively expanding my destination portfolio outside of the West Coast, I offer custom, all-inclusive travel packages to make the logistics completely seamless for you. You don't have to worry about booking flights or hotel rooms for me—I handle all my own travel arrangements so you can just focus on your celebration. Let's make it happen!
