MY PHILOSOPHY

Wedding days can be unpredictable, and delays are not uncommon. It’s my responsibility to ensure that photography doesn’t add to the stress. I’ll manage the timing so that you can savor every moment of your day.

I am dedicated to capturing all the essential photos efficiently, ensuring you have the opportunity to relax and spend quality time with your loved ones. Balancing this is often a challenge for many photographers, who may extend portrait sessions to such an extent that couples miss out on reconnecting with friends and family they haven’t seen in a while.

My ability to work swiftly and effectively, while still delivering stunning photographs, has earned praise from coordinators. Not every photographer possesses this skill, but with my sense of urgency, I guarantee you’

MY STYLE

Besides composition, harnessing the magic of natural light is key. I’m constantly on the hunt for that perfect light to make your photographs come alive. I try my best to set shoots during golden hour, but if not, I actively try to find the best light. Don’t let an inexperienced wedding photographer put you under dark shadows during sunset or glaring afternoon sun on your face!

We’re truly blessed to call Southern California home, with its endless array of stunning locales for wedding and engagement shoots. I will help you find shooting locations for engagement and wedding shoots. Whether it's a shoot at Malibu or in Downtown Arts District, my experience in knowing the areas will help achieve the best photos possible.

Candid photography is my aim—I am constantly shooting! I take about 3000 wedding photos every wedding because I do not want to miss a moment. Because wedding days go by fast, I want my couples to interact and have fun with their guests as much as possible. When couples look back on their wedding photos, I want them to have a balance of editorial, posed photos as well as photos of them interacting with friends and family they haven't seen in awhile. 

MY FAV THINGS

I have an addiction to coffee. Luckily, I live in Los Angeles and there are so many eclectic coffee shops right around the corner. Some of my favorite coffee shops include Maru, Tilt Coffee, and Verve Coffee. I still like meeting clients at coffee shops for meetings, so if that's something you're down for, just let me know! 

On my days off, I love to go golfing. There is nothing better than drinking some beer while golfing with friends. Besides golfing, I have to root for my Los Angeles teams. I am a huge Lakers and Dodgers fan! 

I have been solo traveling for most of my life. I love traveling with friends, but I also love exploring new places alone. Traveling alone has allowed me to explore myself a bit more and find out who I really am as a person. Traveling alone allows you to do what you want on a trip without any constraints. You really do get to understand yourself a lot more when you solo travel! 

BEHIND THE LENS

On your wedding day, I'll arrive approximately 20 minutes before my scheduled start time. This ensures I have ample time to set up my equipment and scout the location where I'll begin shooting, usually at the "getting ready" venue. Throughout the day, my aim is to document genuine moments as they unfold.

I understand that you and your partner may not be accustomed to being in front of the camera, so I'll provide gentle direction to make you feel at ease. My priority is to capture natural and comfortable expressions from both of you.

While some posed photos are necessary, such as bridesmaids and groomsmen shots, family portraits, and pictures of you and your partner, I strive to make this process enjoyable and efficient. I want you to have fun and cherish every moment with your loved ones, ensuring we have enough time for photos without overshadowing the joy of your wedding day.
