How I Got Here

Before I ever shot a wedding, I spent 14 years running security and assisting with large events at the San Diego Maritime Museum. My job was to stay calm when a few hundred people and many moving parts were depending on me to keep things running smoothly.


Turns out that’s the exact skill set a wedding needs.


A wedding day is a high-stakes, fast-moving event with one shot to get it right. While other

photographers might get flustered when the timeline slips or the rain rolls in, I’ve spent over

a decade staying composed in exactly those moments.

That calm is the thing couples tell me they remember most — that I made a chaotic day feel handled.


I picked up a camera in 2018, started booking weddings in 2021, and haven’t looked back.

Today I’m a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), shooting

weddings, engagements, proposals, and events across Southern California.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me chasing the Milky Way out in Anza-

Borrego, wrenching on one of my vehicles, or cooking something ambitious. I’m based in


the San Diego / Temecula area, and I’ll happily travel for the right wedding.
