Photographer Captures Life Force of Events Through Digital and Film

My style of wedding photography is photojournalistic. While capturing formal portraits is important, I also believe the ambiance of your day & the life-force of your invited guests is of equal priority. With a gentle eye, I will steer your formal photographs to best reflect your personalities, while simultaneously documenting those subtle yet profound candid moments that make up such an important day. I keep a keen watch as the day naturally unfolds so you have a record long after the day has passed you by. A MIX OF ANALOG & DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOT on 3 CAMERAS Expect a combination of high res DIGITAL+ FILM (35MM & 120) photographs. High school introduced me to photography & there I spent my waking hours shooting film, developing, & printing deep within the darkroom. From there I went to Otis School of Art & Design to study Fine Art Photography (2001-2005), which exposed me to art theory & artist's studio practices. After college, I flexed my logistical side & produced art fairs (2004-2012) that shared contemporary art to communities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, & New York. In 2013 I transitioned into a small business owner & made photography my full-time world. So if you will, find comfort in knowing that art & photography are a part of my physiological makeup & the path I've taken shows this. My camera & I stay vigilant throughout your day, which no doubt will have many moving parts while maintaining an unobtrusive & honest presence. STAY IN THE MOMENT. I’LL SUPPORT YOU & DO THE REST. TRAVEL — I live in Los Angeles & I’ve traveled all over the world for wedding documentation! I have photographed weddings in: India, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, & the United States — California (Northern & Southern), Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania KIVA LOAN PLEDGE — I pledge to make a Kiva loan for every wedding that I book. This is something that has been important for me to integrate into my wedding photography business from the beginning. It hasn't escaped me how becoming a small business owner has changed my life for the better. I am grateful to have had the privilege & opportunity to see my goals through. I believe when you are given a chance to work towards a life that you deliberately design for yourself, it can be transformative & ripple positively outwards. The empowerment that results is priceless & I believe that all humans deserve the right to choose what they want for themselves & see their vision come to fruition. Struggle is real, I've been through my share, & it's time to do my part to help fellow dreamers & builders. (www.kiva.org)

Anna & CJ

Thank you so much for photographing our wedding! I just wanted to let you know how grateful we were for your kind, calming presence throughout the day. We had an amazing time and we so appreciated your flexibility and creativity as the day unfolded. Even after months of planning, it was incredible how the emotions just took over and the wedding created its own energy. We had more fun than we ever could have imagined, and you really helped make that happen! Thank you for being a part of our day!

Emilie & Erik

I just wanted to write you an email to say thank you so much for photographing our wedding! You had an amazing ability to adapt to every circumstance and situation and weird tradition we threw at you. I was so apprehensive about hiring a photographer for my wedding, because so many I have experienced in the past end up not being able to let go of the traditional structure of a wedding, and demanding certain shots, posed in certain ways. The second I found your website, I knew I had to book you because your style and approach are so different and unique - and even then, you ended up exceeding all of those expectations!

Dallas & Dovi

I want to thank you for an amazing experience this past weekend. You were a pleasure to work with and you made the wedding even more special for us. I was telling one of my colleagues in the lab about the wedding and was bragging about how cool our photographer was and she tried to convince me that her wedding photographer was way better. As it turns out, her photographer was also you!

Lisa & Bryan

We looked at all the photos last night. We wanted to wait till we were in the right headspace and could really enjoy it. We made a yummy dinner, popped a bottle of champagne and went through all 1,110 pictures. They were AMAZING. Being able to relive the day was incredible. We felt all the joy and love all over again. When we were done we legitimately thought about throwing another wedding party next year. Ha! Thank you so much for so beautifully documenting the day and being so supportive before, during and after. We were so so lucky to find you and so glad you're in our lives :)

We wanted to drop a quick note and tell you how awesome you are. You got in the spirit and came prepared, and brought so much happiness from behind the camera to whoever was in front of it. We're so grateful to have had you as part of our day, and can't wait to recommend you to everyone we know. (And everyone we don't -- so please let us know any and all sites where we can leave you reviews!) Much love, Christy + Stuart
