Based in California and New York, we move fluidly between film and digital — documenting weddings with equal parts artistry and instinct. Our studio is rooted in a deep respect for story, light, and human connection. We’ll guide you when it matters, disappear into the background when it doesn’t, and always keep our focus on what’s real.

Your wedding is the best damn party you'll ever throw. It deserves more than stiff posing and cookie-cutter photography. It's about your uncle’s questionable dance moves, your best friend’s happy tears, and that one cousin who somehow always finds the photo booth first. We don’t stage perfection. We document the beautiful chaos, the unexpected, and the real stuff.

Imagine if a high-fashion editorial and your favorite old-school family photos had a baby. That’s the energy. Polished but personal. Chic but never stiff. Nostalgic but never outdated. The kind of photos that look as good now as they will in 50 years.

A great photographer doesn’t just capture what’s happening — they anticipate it. The quiet inhale before the vows, the second before a toast turns into a full-blown laugh. We move with the energy of the day, always watching, always ready, so the best moments never slip away.

Then, in 2024, I planned my own wedding. Finding a photographer—someone who "got" it—was harder than I expected. It gave me a whole new perspective on this job and the weight of the trust people place in me and my team. This isn’t about pretty photos. It’s about walking away with something that means something.
Our job isn’t just to take pictures. It’s to give you something real. Something you’ll hold onto in fifty years and say, this was us. That’s why I do this. That’s why I’m here. Let’s make sure you never lose the moments that matter.
Since 2016, I’ve photographed over 600 weddings across the world—from Hong Kong and back. I’ve worked with top planners, captured celebrations in the grandest venues, and made magic in a Holiday Inn Express. I’ve worked in every setting imaginable, adapting, creating, and making sure every wedding is captured with the same heart and intention.
I've photographed celebrities, past presidents, and other icons of our generation - but the highest honor of my career is capturing people."
I was working for the UN when I was hit by a car in Rome. In an instant, my phone — which held every moment, every memory was gone. And it hit me: photos aren’t just pictures. They’re proof. Proof that we were here, that this happened.
That moment rewired me. Since then, I’ve spent my career making sure people have that proof — capturing the unplanned, the in-between, the moments of life that would otherwise disappear.
I didn’t grow up dreaming of weddings. I trained as a photojournalist, chasing stories around the globe — until life had other plans. Like, thrown up 8 feet in the air by a car plans.

my own wedding x2
We had a wedding on the first day of the last month of the year 2024, in the heart of New York City. We had a ceremony and formal lunch with family and close friends, then hosted a disco on W 23rd Street with friends from around the city. it was the day that the ginkgo leaves in New York City fell, I carried a pigeon purse, and it was absolutely perfect.
The following spring, we went down to City Hall in our beloved city of San Francisco and made it "official" - then threw a blow-out party in our apartment, complete with a vintage Mustang to drive us home across the Golden Gate Bridge.
In short: there are no rules. We had fun. There are a lot of opinions about what a wedding is "supposed" to be, but creating something that is true to the two of you is it all it should be.
