Weddings are a beautiful reflection of that: two lives, full of connection and history, coming together with their loved ones to create something new. That’s what I’m drawn to capturing, the layers of meaning, emotion, and love that make your story uniquely yours.
What inspires me most is the depth of your story. The way your love has been shaped by the people, moments, and experiences that give this day so much meaning.
I believe in living in the moment and soaking up every last minute with the ones you love.
what I believe
At the heart of my approach is the deep belief that life is meant to be lived. As a child, I used to spend hours pulling out old envelopes filled with photographic prints from my family's heritage. Grandma's youthful smile, my parents' loving gaze, my own toothless baby grin. Such joy and love, and sometimes sorrow, were found in every image.
It was the honesty of the photos that kept drawing me in. A connection to a truth that existed long before I was even thought of. I value this truth and I use my love for the living of life to shape how I approach weddings.
I put my whole heart into giving you an experience that allows you to feel entirely alive, while also giving you the gift of felt memories through honest, beautiful images.
For couples who value connection, emotion, and images that stand the test of time
Wherever you are, be all there.

and big-hearted energy
A mix of calm professionalism
I don’t just see people—I see the stories that brought them here. The shared laughter, the challenges overcome, and the love that’s grown through it all. I believe every couple carries a history worth honoring, and I’m here to reflect that in every image I create.
My work has been featured in several publications, but what really matters to me is creating an experience where you feel seen, understood, and cared for.
When I’m not capturing weddings, you’ll find me spending time with my family, planning our next adventure, or making my (highly requested!) homemade pho on a Friday night.
Before becoming a photographer, I worked as a counselor, which shaped the way I approach my art today.
