Capturing the moments that make life's most precious memories
My journey as a photographer started with a childhood filled with theater, music, and a profound connection to the power of visual storytelling. This love for storytelling translated seamlessly into my work as a photographer, where I have the privilege of capturing the heartfelt moments that shape life's special occasions.
Wedding Photography: A Fine Art
For over 20 years, I have specialized in wedding photography, breathing life into the joy, love, and laughter that fill this extraordinary day. From the tender whispers exchanged during the getting-ready phase to the vibrant energy of the reception, I capture every subtle gesture, every tear of joy, and every joyous expression. My goal is to deliver a collection of timeless and emotional images that celebrate your unique love story.
Beyond the Ceremony
Wedding photography extends far beyond just the ceremony. I believe in capturing the whole experience, from the pre-ceremony anticipation to the late-night dance floor magic. My full-day coverage ensures that every laugh, every stolen glance, and every heartfelt exchange is meticulously documented.
A Collaborative Approach
Working with you is an integral part of my process. I take the time to understand your vision, your personalities, and what makes your love story unique. I am flexible and adaptable, seamlessly blending into the atmosphere to capture genuine moments without interrupting the magic of the day.
Experience and Recognition
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of photographing countless weddings across Southern and Central California, from opulent estates to intimate vineyards. My work has been featured in renowned publications and I am honored to be a member of the Inside Weddings Editors Circle.
Beyond the Lens
My passion for storytelling extends beyond weddings. I have also photographed unforgettable bar and bat mitzvahs, capturing the unique energy and excitement of these coming-of-age ceremonies.
