Because at the end of the day, you know that flushed cheeks only come from deep kisses.

That hair is meant to be shaken out of place by laughter. That there's no way to plan for when tears will fall. That the looks you share say more than words themselves. 

Get photos that tell the entire story — imperfections and all.

Getting your photos taken is an intimate experience so having such a wonderful person like Jenny around as a touchstone made me feel so confident.

She moves so subtly and easily around spaces without interrupting the moments happening. Because of that she was able to capture the feelings I was feeling throughout our wedding day through strikingly beautiful candids.”

Your story is told through the details

In the blissful buzz of your wedding day beginning

Lipstick-blotted and tear-stained tissues
Light and music and jitters lining the doorways
How you hold your breath as big moments swell 
Forehead kisses, back-bending laughter, intertwined fingers

and — the soft unraveling …

Empty champagne glasses and plates full of cake crumbs 
Abandoned heels tossed in the corner
Messy hair and dirty feet from all the dancing
Everyone singing their absolute hearts together

Documenting the unplanned and divinely human moments

Over the past 10 years of photographing weddings in California and beyond, I've noticed that the photos my couples love the most are the ones where they are fully present. When I snap the photo, they aren't thinking about anything except what's in front of them.

And so I won't interrupt your memories in the making. I'll let you get swept up in the emotions of your day, blissfully unaware of how beautiful it is and how in love you look.

In your photos, you'll see it. You'll feel it. When you were overtaken with joy, free from expectations, and loving wholly. It’s not an editing trick or the result of a big production — it’s all you.
