I believe your wedding day should feel like yours

With more than twenty years of experience in photography, I take pride in providing a calm and stress-free aura in weddings so that you can enjoy the moment and be present. I make sure that all important events are captured candidly and unobtrusively. I also direct posing to make sure everything comes out perfect.

My love for photography began in the film era with my father’s legendary Nikon F camera. As a Bay Area wedding photographer and videographer, I specialize in natural, emotional, and timeless images that beautifully tell your unique story — whether it’s a multicultural celebration, Catholic ceremony, or intimate gathering in Napa, Sonoma, Carmel, or Big Sur.

As a father of four and K-8 teacher, I bring patience and warmth to every wedding, helping even camera-shy couples feel relaxed and confident. My goal is simple: to quietly capture the genuine joy of your day so you can simply be present with the people you love.

I’d be honored to document your story.
