IMAGERY ROOTED IN FEELING, MOVEMENT, AND PRESENCE
San Diego based wedding and elopement photographer
01
WEDDINGS
I approach weddings with steadiness and attention, tracking the rhythm of the day while staying present for the quieter moments that give it meaning. I work best with couples who want to experience their wedding rather than perform it, valuing ease, presence, and connection over constant direction. The result is imagery that feels cohesive and honest—shaped by observation, pacing, and restraint.
ELOPEMENTS
02
Elopements invite a quieter, more intentional way of documenting a day, rooted in presence and place. I move intuitively—responding to light, environment, and emotional rhythm—offering guidance when helpful and space when stillness matters more. The resulting images feel grounded and expansive, shaped by honesty, landscape, and the way the day naturally unfolds.
ENGAGEMENTS
Engagement sessions are relaxed and loosely guided, focused on how you naturally move and interact together. Rather than posing for perfection, I create space for real gestures and in-between moments to unfold. The images feel lived-in and unforced, reflecting who you are rather than how you’re expected to show up.

WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
I’m a San Diego–based wedding and elopement photographer drawn to celebrations that feel intimate, grounded, and lived-in. My approach is rooted in observation and emotional attunement — paying attention to the quiet shifts, the in-between moments, and the way people naturally move through the day without needing to be managed or directed.
I work best with couples who want to stay present in their wedding day rather than perform it. The kind of people who care about being with their people, who value ease over spectacle, and who trust that the most meaningful moments don’t need to be manufactured.
My role is to move quietly, respond intuitively, and document what’s unfolding as it is. I step in when guidance is helpful and pull back when a moment is better left untouched, allowing space for things to happen naturally while I focus on nuance, connection, and continuity.
The result is imagery that feels honest and cohesive — photographs shaped by attention, pacing, and restraint rather than constant direction or trend-driven styling.
