SAN FRANCISCO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

As a San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photographer, I have photographed anywhere from a 9 person 2 hour backyard wedding to a 350 guest 12 hour extravaganza, and love each and every one just the same! Through all the years, I have learned that it really doesn't matter how long your ceremony is, or how much your floral centerpieces cost...what matters most is that you are marrying the love of your life, and there are honest moments that deserve to be captured, and you deserve to have it documented. I truly believe there are authentic and meaningful moments happening throughout the day, whether during a 2 hour day, or a 12 hour marathon, and I challenge myself to capture them both naturally and creatively, for you to cherish.

​On a related note, my parents did not have any wedding photos taken. My dad was too cheap to pay for a photographer (he literally gave the professional photographer present his camera and asked him to take photos on his personal camera!) so I am just as comfortable shooting a short wedding as I am a long wedding - because they are all better than nothing...and iPhones ;)


I truly do consider myself lucky to do what I love and am so blessed to be able to share that passion with all my wonderful couples - all my laid back, fun, and adventurous Brides and Grooms who don't mind getting a little wild for an amazing moment!

Whether it is a black tie affair or a DIY wedding going into the wee hours of the morning, I give you my heart, because I know how much it hurts to not have something to look back on. If you feel we are a right fit, please say hello - I'd love to make a new friend!
