My galleries, my journals, my mess.

From travel to weddings to analog documentation, there's much to dig through.

We were lucky ducks who had one heck of a sunset, and Ari had the time of her life running up and down the beach whilst I snapped away. Mom has incredible style, and I loved the matching tops she and miss toddler had – don’t worry Dad was lookin spiffy too. Those cross-stitch jeans are some of my fave.

Since she’ll be helping people with their own home renos it was important to us that we captured her in as many corners of her self-designed home as possible. Her house is glorious. You find yourself staring at one nook for far too long, studying every detail and filling with envy over your own lack of originality.

I’ve had the privilege of attending (working) many, many weddings and every time the joy is as fresh and exciting as the last one was. I started my day with the bride, Paisley, and the minute I walked into the room she squealed. And truthfully, the squealing never stopped; I’m certain you can hear her excited squeals in every photo.

There was a short drizzle as guests arrived; softening the sunlight and glittering the pool, but quickly it cleared, and the energy is this yard was so fun. Polaroid selfies, margaritas, iPhone portraits, laughter, and lots of hugs.

Taiylor had a clear vision of how she wanted these photos to look and feel, and she fully trusted me to document them genuinely. Her Pinterest board was filled with warmth and movement, and I would call us overachievers in that regard.

In recent years I’ve specialized into documentary wedding photography which is a special balance of editorial and natural moments. It can feel intimidating to couples to want natural candid imagery while also ensuring they get all the moments they’re wanting, unmanufactured.

While most people are not super comfortable in front of the camera, I can typically trust that my subjects will find solace in each other. Watching two people lean into the person they love and trust in a new experience is one of the great secrets of couples shoots.

Their wedding venue was at the Fort Mason Firehouse. A small, but bright building with incredible views. I was so excited to explore the docks for some cute, campy, and dramatic couple’s photos.
