Behind the Scenes & Love Stories
Here you’ll find a closer look at some of the weddings, portraits, and celebrations I’ve photographed across Northern California and beyond. Each story includes a few favorite moments, small details that made the day unique, and scenes that might spark ideas for your own plans — locations, flowers, dresses, color palettes, timelines, or simply the feeling you want your day to carry.
I have always believed photography should feel natural and unhurried, and these behind-the-scenes glimpses reflect that approach. Take your time, explore, and enjoy the inspiration. Planning something beautiful should feel fun.
