The romantic relationship between me & my city🖤

I was gifted a roll of b&w Ilford HP5 Plus 35mm film so naturally I wanna use it for good, meaning, this is a test on a good city before I use it on my good people out there🤗

Q***r love is WILD! Sorry but not sorry, you can’t handle it!

Happy Pride!🏳️‍🌈

Congratulations to J & C! 🥹🤍 And let this be your little reminder:

Your wedding day is automatically 1000x better when it actually feels like you.

Before their wedding day, we had already planned to visit a scenic spot near where they first moved in together, grab ice cream from Salt & Straw, and stroll through their old neighborhood.

A tiny little newlywed adventure.
A full-circle moment.
A “this is so us” kind of stop.

But time flies by, especially on wedding days.

We were running late, so J & C were thinking about skipping the ice cream stop.

But I was like… respectfully, absolutely not. 😆

Because yes, pretty portraits are important.

But the moments that actually feel like your life? Your relationship? Your story?

Those are the ones worth making room for.

I knew this would feel more meaningful than rushing to check off another “wedding photo location.”

Because your wedding day doesn’t have to be built only around what looks impressive.

It can be built around where you fell in love.
Where you started a life together.
What you actually enjoy doing.
The little rituals and places that make your relationship feel like home.

That’s the stuff that turns a wedding day from beautiful to unforgettable.

So yes — add the personal flair.
Add the activity you love.
Add the neighborhood stroll.
Add the ice cream.

The ice cream has rights. 🍦

J & C, thank you for trusting me when I gently bullied you into keeping the sweet little part of your day that felt the most like you.

Planning your own elopement or intimate wedding? No doubt you should add that personal flair, aka, the best decision ever!

10/10 Collision: When New Orleans Funk Took Over the Redwood Serenity.

When the ceremony ended, Calyn & Mike didn’t just walk back down the aisle…

They brought New Orleans into the redwoods. 🎺🌲

At their UC Berkeley Botanical Garden wedding, tucked inside a quiet, serene redwood grove, they surprised their guests with a Second Line brass band right after the ceremony.

And let me tell you — nothing wakes up a peaceful forest quite like New Orleans joy with a brass section. In the best way possible.

Mike is originally from the Bay Area, but he and Calyn now live in New Orleans. So bringing Southern culture into their Bay Area wedding wasn’t just a fun surprise.

It was a statement of who they are.

A little Bay Area + a little New Orleans = a whole lot of “us.”

After Calyn & Mike shared that they wanted a Second Line brass band experience, I put on my little wedding detective hat and found MJ’s Brass Boppers — an authentic New Orleans-style brass band blending traditional NOLA standards with a modern Bay Area twist.

And honestly? They were perfect for the scene.

This is exactly why I love weddings that go beyond “pretty.”

Pretty is cute.
Personal is unforgettable.

So yes, you can get married in a redwood grove.
Yes, you can bring in your culture, your music, your people, and your weird little plot twist.
And yes, your wedding can feel like a love letter to every place that made you who you are.

Calyn & Mike made the redwoods dance.
10/10 collision. No notes. Or a lot of notes🎶🎵🎶🎵

Sorry I went MIA — I was in the best kind of editing rabbit hole 😆

AKA: busy living in someone else’s best memories.

For the past few days, I’ve been editing Susan & Jason’s full day video, and it honestly felt like I got invited back into their wedding day all over again.

They decided to purchase their full day video as a 1-year anniversary gift to themselves, which is already the sweetest idea.

But selfishly? It became a gift for me too.

Because while I was putting everything together, I got to relive the little moments, the big feelings, the voices, the laughter, the happy tears, and all the tiny pieces of the day that made it feel like their day.

And yes, in some of those clips, you can definitely see me having an absolute blast too. Professional? Always. Emotionally invested? Also 100%.

I can’t tell you how many sweet in-between moments I found while editing this, or how many times I giggled and got teary-eyed sitting in front of my computer.

And that’s exactly what makes a full day video such a treat to have.

So… what is a full day video?

A full day video is basically everything we captured from your wedding day, put together in a chronological, polished, and very watchable way — the “let’s sit down with a glass of wine, a cheese board, and relive the whole thing” version.

Not just the highlight moments.
Not just the “best of the best.”
But the full story unfolding as it happened.

Your wedding day goes by so fast. One minute you’re getting ready, and the next minute someone is handing you cake and asking if you’ve eaten dinner yet.

A full day video lets you slow it all down and revisit the day with so much more room to feel it.

And the best part? You don’t have to decide right away.

You can purchase your full day video later — even a year later — as an anniversary gift to yourselves.

Which, honestly, feels like a very elite married-couple move ✨

Happy 1st anniversary, Susan & Jason. Your day was such a joy to revisit 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day!

I wasn’t able to celebrate with my own ma in person, but I did get to spend the day documenting a beautiful mama-to-be with a beautiful sunset — which felt like the sweetest way to honor the day.

Looking back at all the weddings I’ve photographed and filmed, moms are always part of the heartbeat of the story.

To all the moms who helped shape the incredible humans I get to document, thank you.

And to my own mom — thank you for your love, your care, and everything you’ve poured into me.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, mother figures, and moms-to-be. You are everything. 🤍

Vietnam was a treat!!! I recently visited Vietnam, and now I can’t stop thinking about what it would feel like to document a love story here.

Vietnam completely took my breath away. This small yet mighty country felt like an adventure wrapped in mist, mountains, and the best food memories.

Everywhere I went, I kept thinking:
this would be such an incredible place for an adventurous couple to elope.

Not in a “show up, take pretty photos, leave” kind of way.

But in a full experience kind of way.
A wedding day that feels like travel, wonder, culture, play, and “how is this our actual life right now?”

So I’m putting it out into the universe:

I’m manifesting a Vietnam elopement.
A couple who wants more than a traditional wedding day.
A couple who wants to explore, eat well, laugh hard, get a little windswept, and turn their wedding into a story they’ll never shut up about.

And when that couple finds me… please know I am already emotionally packed.

Vietnam, I miss you already.
Couples, your move. 👀

This is my official application to become someone’s Vietnam elopement photographer + travel-planning gremlin. DM me “Vietnam” if you’re the couple.
