My approach to wedding photography is to focus on your story. The rawness of emotion. The gathering of friends and family that haven't seen each other in years. The excitement of starting a new family. Celebration -- and the quiet moments that surround it.

I am honored that people invite me to capture so many important moments in their lives. My aspiration to become a professional photographer started in high school. I was able to make that a reality after working as a photographer in the White House during the Clinton-Gore administration. Subsequently, I worked as a photojournalist at several newspapers across the country. I discovered my passion for the art of wedding photography in 2003, when I photographed my first wedding with a fellow photojournalist from the Palm Beach Post.

Since that time, the San Francisco Bay beckoned me home, and my passion for telling stories through photojournalism has only grown. I became the in-house photographer at Pixar, documenting life and the community behind the scenes at the animation studio. I have been fortunate enough to travel around the world to photograph in places such as Papua New Guinea, Turkey, China, and Palau. My wedding photography enables me the opportunity to explore new places, meet interesting people and create art from intimate moments, during one of the most important days of your life.

Thank you for considering me to be your wedding photographer.
