Serving the Bay Area, Napa, Carmel & everywhere in-between
Northern California Wedding Photographer
Great wedding photos don’t happen by chance — they’re the result of genuine connection, both between you and with the person documenting your day. Whether you’re getting married in Carmel, Napa, or the Bay Area, every part of the process is shaped by trust, intention, and care. That’s how we create photos that reflect more than just the day, they reflect who you are.
Imagery meant to be loved,
an experience meant to be savored.
It's about you two saying "this is my person" and celebrating that with the people who mean the most to you. That's why it's important to choose a team who understands that and works to support you, so you can be truly present. I'll make sure the photo process feels like another fun aspect of the day - effortless, like it fits right in to this grand adventure.
...and honors the people and moments at the heart of it
From the quiet getting-ready moments to the just-married glow, you deserve to feel supported, seen, and completely at ease. That’s what I’m here for, not just to take beautiful photos, but to help the day feel effortless. I’ll guide you when needed, step back when it counts, and always make space for the honest, in-between moments you’ll want to remember most.

When the day arrives (and it always comes quicker than expected), your only job is to be fully present with each other. I’ll be there as a steady presence — advocating for you, supporting you, and making sure things feel calm and easy. And when your gallery is ready, you’ll get to relive it all: the quiet moments, the big ones, and even some moments that happen in the background of your big day that you'll be glad to keep forever.
03. Delight in the moment
