Weddings

From getting ready to the last dance, I document your day as it naturally unfolds — the emotion, the details, and the people you love. Coverage for intimate elopements through full-day celebrations.

Engagements & Portraits

Relaxed, easygoing sessions at golden hour in your favorite spot — a redwood trail, the Oakland hills, a San Francisco overlook, or the beach. No stiff posing required.

Events

Corporate conferences, galas, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. I work quietly in the background and deliver clean, well-lit photos with a quick turnaround.
