California Roots and Ongoing Coverage


There is a specific magic found in film photography, and I’ve spent years perfecting that look living and shooting under the California sun. As my family and my documentary wedding photography business begin planting new roots in North Carolina beginning 2027, California remains where my heart is, and I will always return to it for West Coast love stories.


My photography approach is rooted in candid, documentary style storytelling—capturing the quiet, unscripted moments that make your wedding yours. Whether you are planning a sun-drenched Malibu estate wedding, a rugged Big Sur coastal elopement, or a Palm Springs desert celebration, I am currently booking remaining dates on the West Coast and would love to document your love story.
