I always shoot at least some film on a wedding day. I shoot 35mm, 120 medium format, and sometimes 110 film.

I love meeting my couples before the big day, so I offer a couple’s session as a part of all my packages. It’s a good way for us to get to know each other and get comfy with a camera between us. Take me on a date with you, on a walk with your dog, on a drive. Whatever we do, I will get beautiful photos of you on film enjoying each other’s company doing your everyday life.

Most of my clients tell me this! I also feel awkward in front of a camera so I get it, and it makes me really good at helping make you feel comfortable and at ease on your wedding day. Your wedding day is not a photoshoot. It’s not about the photos - the photos are about the day.

I come to each wedding excited to meet people. I am casual and friendly, and tend to help people relax by making them laugh. I used to say I am like a fly-on-the-wall but its just not really true! You’ll know I’m there but you won’t necessarily realize I am taking photos. I am very hands off and I always tell my couples that I have no expectations of any kind of performance from them. All the planning you put in is meant to be enjoyed, not endlessly documented with curated moments.

My work is documentary, artful, impressionistic, and classic. While I love a blurry impression of a couple walking towards their friends and family, I equally love a traditional family portrait where everyone is looking at the camera.

I don’t charge travel fees for weddings within a couple hours of the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast of California.
