I'm an editorial San Francisco wedding photographer capturing timeless love stories in the Bay Area and beyond

I remember the exact moment I fell in love with photography. I must have been about eight years old, sitting at my grandmother’s antique vanity with a beautiful ornate brass mirror. It was our little tradition—she’d let me “practice” putting her makeup on, even though I’d always apply far too many layers. She never minded.

One day, as I rummaged through the back of a drawer, searching for the colors she deemed “too dark” for my age, my fingers brushed against something unexpected. Tucked away beneath the powders and lipsticks was a small handful of film photo prints. As I pulled them out, I realized what I had found—wedding photos from my grandparents’ wedding day.

They were perfectly imperfect. The soft blur of movement, the slight grain of the film, the way the light fell just right on my grandmother’s beaming face. I studied every detail, captivated by the moments. I wondered how they felt that day. What had been said to make my grandmother laugh so freely? Was my grandfather nervous? He sure looked like it.

From that day on, I made a habit of digging them out during every visit. I could stare at them for hours, completely lost in the mystery of those captured memories. Those photos became my passion, my inspiration. I didn’t just want to look at them—I wanted to create images that made people feel the way I did when I held those prints in my hands.

To this day, those same wedding photos remain in my nightstand, a constant reminder of where my love for photography began. They are more than just pictures; they are proof that a single image can hold a lifetime of emotions, stories, and untold words. And that’s exactly why I do what I do—to capture those fleeting moments so they can be felt forever.
