Recent Work
I'm a Bay Area based photographer specializing in weddings and corporate events. My passion is documenting life as it unfolds—the laughter, the tears, the quiet moments in between.
Whether you're walking down the aisle, presenting on stage, or celebrating a company milestone, I capture the energy and emotion that makes each event unique.
From vineyard weddings in Napa to tech conferences in San Francisco, I bring the same dedication to every shoot: authentic moments, beautiful light, and images you'll treasure.
