My Approach to Photographing Weddings at Mountain House Estate

I believe your wedding photography should feel natural, elevated, and true to you. My style blends classic composition with documentary storytelling, so you’ll receive a gallery that’s timeless, emotional, and uniquely reflective of your day.

I scout the light, the lines, and the little details that others might miss—and because I’m familiar with Mountain House Estate, I already know the best golden hour spots, how the sun moves across the lawn, and how to capture those sweeping vineyard views without making you feel like you’re posing for a catalog.
