Destination Wedding & Film Photographer

With nearly a decade behind the lens, and 7 years dedicated to portrait photography, I aim to tell stories that feel intimate, romantic, and full of soul. My background in Art and European History deepens my approach—drawing inspiration from classical portraiture and antiquity to infuse my work with eternal boldness.

Photography is about blending adventure with art. I take a slower, more intentional approach, allowing the shoot to unfold organically, with soul and intuition guiding the process. Whether it’s a couple’s intimate portrait or a destination wedding, I seek to create imagery that speaks to the heart of my subjects, set in the locations that hold the most meaning for them.

Born and raised in Encinitas, California, I grew up with the sound of waves slapping the shore at night and the sight of sunsets that felt like living art. California’s breathtaking natural beauty has always been a muse, but what inspires me are the people here—the adventurers, the dreamers, and the ones who savor every moment nature gifts us.

Living in California taught me the value in living slow. Photography became my way of capturing the quiet beauty around me, finding beauty in what most might miss. It’s a process of reflection, a way to notice what’s already there—crafted by the hand of the Creator.

I specialize in analog (film) photography, portraiture, and destination wedding photography. Outside of my work, I’m a competitive beach volleyball player, a sport that’s taught me discipline, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence—lessons that I carry with me into every project.
