I'm a hybrid wedding and portrait photographer. I use medium format 6x7 film and full frame digital cameras for my work. I'm based out of Southern California but have traveled throughout US and part of Europe to document weddings. My wedding photography style is modern, elegant, and timeless. Occasionally, I will do creative personal projects for fun.

Here’s a pic from […]

I found a couple of quiet hours last week to update the layout of this site. It has been something on my to do list for a while and finally I got it done. A few things are still missing but I’ll eventually fix it. Here’s to a new layout for the new year and […]

What’s my photography style?

Some people asked me what photography style do I shoot, and to be honest I don’t know. Coming from a drawing and painting background, I love unique lighting and see photography as an opportunity to create beautiful art pieces that I myself can hang on my wall. I combine light, shadows, and focus to create […]
