I got my BFA in Photography from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. After one wedding shoot, I was hooked! For the past 10 years, I’ve been capturing love stories. I usually shoot about 30 weddings each year. Hearing how my couples met? It’s my jam. Those little meet-cutes always get me!
I have a fun, laid-back style. I want your love to shine through in every photo!
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at the beach with my awesome boyfriend. We love catching waves or soaking in some art at the museum for inspiration. And let’s be real, we also binge-watch a lot of Netflix, usually dramas or HGTV.
