SERVICES
01. Wedding Weekend
More than a wedding day—it’s a multi-day celebration filled with intentional moments. Think: a rehearsal dinner with your closest people, late-night conversations, quiet mornings, a poolside or beach party, and a relaxed post-wedding brunch. As your destination wedding photographer, I’m there to capture every part of the story—artful, effortless, and true to who you are.
02. Full-Day Wedding Coverage
A quiet presence from morning preparations to the final dance—capturing the full story of your day with honesty, elegance & intention.
03. Elopement & Intimate Weddings
For quiet vows & meaningful moments—perfectly suited for couples who value connection over spectacle. A slower, more personal way to say “I do.”
04. Engagement Sessions
A relaxed, gentle way to get comfortable in front of the camera. We’ll capture the in-between moments, the laughter, the tenderness—just as you are.
05. Destination Weddings
Whether it’s a villa in Tuscany or a beach in the Cyclades, I travel worldwide to document your love in the places that matter to you.
06. Film Photography
The nostalgic softness of medium format film bringing depth, texture, and timelessness to your story.
PROCESS
Step 1 - Inquiry & Initial Call
Let’s begin with a conversation. Whether your wedding is in Italy, the California coast, or somewhere wildly personal — I want to hear your story, your vision, and how you imagine your weekend unfolding.
Step 2 - Custom Proposal
No templates here. You’ll receive a curated proposal based on your weekend timeline, location, and priorities — whether you need full wedding weekend coverage, rehearsal dinner, or engagement session.
Step 3 - Planning & Creative Direction
I work closely with your planner and creative team to align on the visual direction and logistics — so everything flows. I’ll also send over a brief questionnaire to understand key people, cultural traditions, and moments you don’t want missed.
Step 4 - Wedding Weekend Coverage
On your weekend, I’ll quietly document every layer — the unposed moments, the meaningful details, and everything in-between. I shoot on analog film and digital with a refined, editorial eye.
Step 5 - Post-Production & Delivery
Film is developed and scanned by my lab in California. Every image is reviewed, curated, and delivered in an elegant online gallery. For clients who opt-in, I design bespoke wedding albums as heirlooms to revisit and relive.
Step 6 - Legacy, in Print
There’s nothing more lasting than seeing your story in print. For couples who care about legacy and artistry, I offer custom album design and museum-grade fine art prints.
