Ali & Mitch chose to cross the country for something that felt true to them—an intimate celebration along Highway 1, with views that honestly speak for themselves. Every part of the day carried so much intention. The way we shaped the timeline around the light, the details they put together by hand, the florals, the setup—nothing felt rushed or overlooked. It all reflected who they are and what this day meant to them. They showed up with so much ease and joy, and it made everything feel natural to document. One of those days where you don’t have to force anything—you just witness it unfold. After they received their gallery, they called me—and you could feel how much it meant to them. The kind of response that will stay with me for a long time. Incredibly grateful to be trusted with something this meaningful 📸 MUAH: @paulamaiabeauty #elopement #sfelopement #sfwedding #halfmoonbaywedding

I fell in love with the process and look of film photography in 2023, and it quietly reshaped the way I approach creating art with a camera. Shooting film slowed me down in the best way — it sharpened my intention, asked me to be fully present, and brought a deeper sense of purpose to every frame. Each exposure requires thoughtful consideration, made even more meaningful by not being able to immediately see what I’m capturing. For a long time, I was hesitant to share more of my film work. It doesn’t always align with the digital rhythm and polish I’ve built visually — but the more I sit with it, the more I realize that difference is exactly what makes it meaningful. Film’s organic texture, soft tones, and honest imperfections carry a timeless quality that feels deeply human. It preserves moments not as they were styled, but as they were felt. For couples who value intention, craft, and imagery that will age with grace, film is a timeless medium for a day you’ll cherish for years to come. Thoughtfully captured on 35mm and 120 medium format film — and always worth considering as part of your wedding day. Shot on @kodak #sfwedding #bayareawedding #weddingonfilm

A & M, Marin Headlands. Some moments deserve to be held onto differently. A huge part of this day was documented on film—on a camera that’s been around longer than most of us, quietly witnessing decades of stories. There’s something about it—the texture, the softness, the way it holds light—that digital just can’t quite replicate. It feels honest. Unrushed. Timeless. Grateful to preserve a beginning like this in a way that will age just as beautifully. If you’ve been thinking about adding film to your day, this is your sign 🎞️ #sanfranciscowedding #sfweddingphotographer #film

Osaz & Tomi, Florida. A day that has stayed with me ever since. Now featured in the May issue of @britishvogue , this celebration carried a rhythm I hadn’t experienced before—hours of dancing, laughter that moved through every part of the space, and an energy that never faded. It felt less like a single event and more like a continuous, living celebration shared by everyone in the room. What stood out just as much was how visually striking it all was—every detail, every outfit, every expression. A reminder of how diverse and beautiful these celebrations can be. I truly love documenting weddings that honor culture in such meaningful ways. If you’re planning one, I’d love to connect! 🙏🏻 #britishvogue #culturalwedding #luxuryweddingphotographer

This past year has been a defining season for me. Not just refining how I shoot, but reshaping how I see. Learning to slow down. To pay attention to what’s already there—the in-between moments, the subtle gestures, the way something actually felt rather than how it looked. A lot of these frames come from places far from home, but the thread has always been the same. Honest connection. Trust. Letting things unfold without forcing them. I think that’s what I’ve grown to value most in this work. As I step into this next wedding season, I feel a deeper sense of clarity and intention behind everything I create. Less noise, more meaning. I’m opening a few more spots for couple sessions and City Hall in the coming months. If it resonates, I’d love to connect. ❤️🙏🏻

Noemi & Julio Felt more like a walk than a session. Easy conversation, no pressure—nothing performative. We had just met, but it didn’t feel that way. They came in open, familiar with my work, and fully themselves from the start. That kind of trust changes everything. Most of this time was just spent talking, laughing, and letting things unfold naturally. I think that’s what you see here. Grateful for incredible couples like this, and for the chance to document a season that means so much 🙏🏻
