kindness & inclusivity

If we can find a way everyday to just be kind I say let’s go for it. I want to always work with folks who take this to heart and make it a mantra. Maybe that means taking a deep breath instead of saying that one thing on the tip of your tongue and maybe that means working with a non-profit to eliminate homelessness and hunger. I know there are all sorts of acts of kindness and the good news is that we need them all, big & small.

I work with all kind people. All of you.

Can you tell me about your wedding experience?

I began shooting weddings in 2012, I am self taught and have had countless 4am nights learning all the technicality behind the camera & the array of lenses I chose to invest in and continue to do so. My experience grew fast from 2015 through 2018 when I moved to Napa county and quickly. became a close connection for wedding planners all over the Bay Area. Since the early days of my photography, I’ve grown deeper in love with documenting tenderness and nostalgic moments.

I shoot roughly 20-30 weddings each year and have shot more than 200 weddings

I know you focus on true moments but can you talk about formals?

Yes, I’m more than happy to follow a list of formals. I totally understand that having a deliberately shot photo of you and your grandmother matters. I ask that you create your shot list of family formals before the wedding so that you can let those folks know when to be where and I can cross those images off as we shoot them. Consider that each of those images takes 2-3 minutes to shoot so create conscientiously. It’s easy to go wild with a list but remember it’s a wedding day for two. It’s not super likely that you’ll print and frame a shot without your new spouse in the image also. There are always exceptions but something to consider.

Do you have liability insurance?

I certainly do. If your venue requires a certificate I’m happy to provide that.
