HOW I CAPTURE
LOVE STORIES
01 — PRESENT OVER PERFECT
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot—it’s a day you actually get to live. I want you to be present with your people, soak in the moments you’ve been waiting for, and never feel like you’re performing for my camera. I’ll step in with direction when it’s helpful, but I also know when to step back and let things unfold exactly as they are. The goal is photographs that feel effortless, honest, and unmistakably like the two of you.
02 — PAYING ATTENTION TO THE IN-BETWEEN
Of course I’ll photograph the first kiss, the portraits, and all the moments you know are coming—but I’m just as interested in everything happening around them. Your mom fixing your veil. Your best friend tearing up during the vows. The half-eaten cake on the table, your grandparents dancing, the wind picking up at just the right time. I’m constantly watching for the little pieces of your day that may feel ordinary now, but have a way of becoming the photographs you treasure most later.
03 — TELLING THE WHOLE STORY
I want your gallery to feel like more than a collection of beautiful images. It should bring you right back—to the energy in the room, the people who filled it, the quiet moments, the chaos, and everything in between. I photograph with the full story in mind, blending the photographs that deserve to hang on your walls with the imperfect, fleeting moments that make the day yours. Years from now, I want you to remember not only how everything looked, but exactly how it felt.
Documentary wedding photography is about capturing your day as it actually unfolds—the big moments, the quiet ones, and everything happening in between. Rather than constantly staging or interrupting, I focus on being present, paying attention, and letting you experience your wedding while I preserve it. I’ll offer direction when it’s needed, but ultimately, I want your photos to feel honest, full of life, and true to the people you were in that moment.
SOME
MOMENTS JUST
BELONG ON FILM.
film + digital
There’s something about film that digital simply can’t recreate. With only 36 frames on a roll, every photo requires a little more patience, intention, and trust. You don’t get to see it right away or take the same shot endlessly—you capture the moment and let it be. The result is imperfect in all the best ways: nostalgic, honest, full of texture, and completely one of a kind.
PIANO DI SORRENTO, ITALY

WHEREVER YOUR LOVE STORY TAKES YOU.
Lulu + Carlos brought a little piece of Arizona—and a whole lot of Latin warmth—to the coast of Italy to say “I do.” Their closest family and friends traveled from near and far to spend a few beautiful days together in Sorrento, making their wedding feel like so much more than a single day. We started at their villa, where Lulu could hardly wait to see Carlos, celebrated over cocktails with their people, and ended the evening gathered around the table for dinner along the coast. Italian views, Latin culture, two families coming together, and a celebration that felt every bit as joyful as the people at the center of it.
