My journey as a photographer began in Michigan, where I started out capturing photos and videos of my friends skateboarding along with various punk bands as they'd go on tour. When I moved to
Ca I i for n i a i n 2 0 0 8 I photo g r a p he d my fi rs t wed d i n g, a n d I q u i ck I y fell in love with how you con tell each story in a creative and unique way that's different for every couple. As i get to know my clients, love to learn about their journey as a couple, and what brought them to this day. These are the pieces that help me to tell a story that goes beyond just the events of the wedding day, and enables me to showcase their love in a way that's unique to them. Along with this, I'm also inspired by the breathtaking landscapes in California, and have developed a style that brings together the beauty of nature with the raw emotions of a wedding day to create truly
one-of-a-kind photographs that you'll treasure for a lifetime.

I grew up playing hockey, and I still try to get on the ice whenever I con. Although the Red Wings ore nothing like they were in the 90's, I look forward to taking the kids to their first Red Wings game when they're older.:)

Born and raised in San Jose, I’m a Bay Area native. Although I grew up in the city, I love being outdoors among the trees and mountains. The outdoors is what brought me to video as I wanted to capture the nature and landscapes around me. I started shooting weddings when I met Ryan and Terry. Their work made me want to capture the romantic stories of our couples, and capture the cinematic images of their wedding day.
