YOUR WEDDING EXPERIENCE

Editing Style
My editing style is clean, refined, and made to last. I stay true to natural color, honest skin tones, and the atmosphere of your day without leaning into heavy filters or trends that won’t age well. The goal is simple: when you look back at your images years from now, they still feel just as meaningful and true to how it all felt.

Think natural, polished, and timeless.

Shooting Style
My approach is rooted in a balance of observation and guidance. I’m always watching for the in-between moments as they unfold naturally, while stepping in when needed to create ease and direction, especially during portraits. And yes, I’ll absolutely tell you what to do with your hands.

The result is a collection filled with honest emotion, natural connection, the energy of the dance floor, and the family portraits that will matter for generations. Nothing overly posed, nothing performative, just a genuine reflection of your day as it happened.

I’m heading into my 7th year photographing weddings and typically photograph around 15 weddings per year.

I intentionally keep my calendar limited so every couple receives my full attention, energy, and creativity. Weddings are a big deal and I treat them that way.

I have a very organized system after every wedding and session to make sure your images are safe and delivered as quickly as possible.

Before I even start editing, your photos are backed up in multiple places including professional hard drives and secure cloud storage through Backblaze. Your memories are protected from the moment I get home.

Wedding timeline

• Sneak peek gallery: 2 weeks after your wedding
• Full gallery delivery: around 6 weeks (the contract allows up to 8 weeks just in case)

Engagements and portrait sessions

• Delivered within 2 to 3 weeks

Your images arrive in a beautiful online gallery where you can download, share with family, and order professional prints directly.

Every meaningful image from your session or wedding day is included in your final gallery.

I believe your story deserves to be told fully, so rather than narrowing it down to only a select few, I deliver all of the strongest moments that help reflect the day as it unfolded. During the editing process, I remove blinks, missed focus, duplicates, and test frames, but the real moments, big and small, stay.

That means if there are multiple beautiful frames of a moment, like a laugh, a hug, or a kiss, you’ll receive them. Often it’s the subtle differences in those frames that make them worth keeping.

Here’s a general idea of what most galleries include:

Full wedding days (8+ hours): around 1,00 to 2,000+ images depending on coverage and whether a second photographer is included

Micro weddings and elopements: approximately 400 to 600 images

Engagement sessions: approximately 100 to 125 images

Every image is thoughtfully edited in my signature true-to-color, natural, and timeless style.

While the decision is completely yours, I often recommend a second photographer for weddings with larger guest counts, multiple locations, or full wedding weekends. Having a second photographer allows for more coverage, more flexibility, and more moments captured as the day unfolds.

A second photographer can help document:

• both partners getting ready at the same time
• multiple ceremony angles and reactions
• cocktail hour moments while portraits are happening
• additional candid interactions and details throughout the day

I work with a small circle of experienced photographers I trust deeply and who align with my approach. Each wedding is matched with the right fit based on the flow of the day and the coverage needed.

Every photographer I bring in is someone I’d trust to photograph my own wedding, professional, talented, and excellent with people. My goal is always to build the right team so your day is covered with care from every angle.

Yes. Absolutely.

A few weeks before your wedding, I’ll send over a short questionnaire so I can understand the flow of your day and the moments that matter most to you.

From there I help guide the timeline for photography, including when to schedule portraits, family photos, and golden hour. My goal is always to keep the day feeling relaxed while making sure we capture everything beautifully.

Golden Hour is the hour before sunset when the light becomes soft, warm, and incredibly flattering.

It’s hands down the best time for romantic portraits. The light glows, the background softens, and couples often get a quiet moment together away from the crowd.

These are very often the photos couples end up printing for their walls.

While I photograph many weddings throughout Sonoma County, Napa Valley, and the Mendocino Coast, I regularly travel for weddings across California and beyond.

If you are planning a destination celebration, reach out and we can talk through the details.

Yes. I carry full professional liability insurance and can provide documentation to venues if needed.

I shoot with Canon R6 Mark III and II mirrorless cameras and a lineup of professional Canon L series lenses including the 24–70mm, 70–200mm, 85mm, 100mm, and 50mm.

I also use Profoto A series flashes, both on camera and off camera, which allow me to create beautiful lighting whether we are outdoors at sunset or on a packed dance floor after dark.

For couples who love a little nostalgia and texture, I also offer 35mm film photography using classic Canon film cameras. Film adds a soft, organic feel that many couples love mixed into their gallery alongside digital images.

My assistant is also trained to help with lighting, reflectors, and wrangling family members for portraits so everything stays smooth and stress free.
