Forget the Shot List.
Let's allow the Moment to Reveal Itself.

You're not hiring me. We're co-creating.

You’re not looking for a traditional wedding photographer.
And I’m not looking for traditional clients.If you found your way here, chances are you already know that the most powerful images aren't planned. They're felt.No Pinterest boards, endless shot lists or awkward poses staged for Instagram trends.Just presence. Attunement. A documentarian’s eye and an artist’s heart.

Presence That Travels With You

I don’t take on every wedding. That's because when I do, I show up fully, connect deeply with your community and engage on every level with the adventure.That often means travel.Sometimes it’s a sunrise ceremony in California.A rainy forest wedding in NorCal or a mountaintop vow in Arizona.A long weekend in Austin.A gathering by the sea near Tulum.The location doesn’t matter as much as the truth of what’s unfolding.If we’re aligned, I’m in.
