Weddings

There are clients who sometimes seem a little uncomfortable while being photographed. They look to me a lot. They ask what’s next. They require some time to warm up with each other and with me. Catherine + Sergey were *not* those clients. Upon seeing each other for the first time that day in the woods of the beautiful Irvine … See More

Despite having to dodge rain showers and storm clouds most of their wedding day, Michelle + Mike had a fabulous celebration. After a decade photographing weddings, I can probably count on one hand the number of dance parties that were as epic and fun to photograph as theirs! As I work on the full collection of photographs from their … See More

It was difficult to imagine what Alanna + Rob’s wedding might look like, based on Alanna’s description when we first met. She explained that their wedding would resemble a romantic, whimsical fairy tale forest with a dollop of anime, the Japanese style of animation often characterized by colorful graphics and vibrant characters. “When we first met, he taught me … See More

I make no secret of the fact that one of my most-favorite aspects of my job is the joy of photographing real moments and authentic emotion for my clients.

As I work on their full collection of photos — and postpone yet another engagement session because of … See More

Colleen + DJ found each other in New York City through a bonafide, real-life matchmaker. And while lots of matchmakers apparently charge only men for their services, letting women join their ranks for free, Colleen wouldn’t hire anyone unless they charged women and men equally. That’s just the kind of awesome, high-powered executive gal that she is. After working … See More

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous wedding in the always-beautiful George Peabody Library in Baltimore. With a huge assist from the bride’s mother, Rachel + Cecil planned a wonderful celebration complete with darling children serving as flower girl and ring bearer, a gospel choir at a very personal and emotional ceremony, cafe lights strung up across … See More

After first meeting with Colleen + DJ last year, I couldn’t help but cross my fingers that they would decide to choose me as their photographer. And after seeing them again in NYC last summer for their engagement session — in less than ideal weather conditions on a humid Manhattan morning — I knew that they would be nothing … See More

 
Remarkably, this month marks the 10-year anniversary of my photography business. I am amazed because I simultaneously feel like it was just yesterday that I took a giant leap of faith to pursue this dream and also that I’ve been photographing the joy of weddings for far longer than a decade. To mark this momentous occasion … See More
