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.

Big Bear Engagement Photography Session with a Rowboat | Lauren and Kevin

Lauren has yet to decide on a wedding venue when her mom, Alison, initially reached out to me. We connected so well on our face-to-face meeting that they decided to have me as their wedding photographer. I’m so glad they did because Lauren and Kevin are such a fun couple.

Taylor and Canyon Yosemite Engagement Photography session

A Romantic Engagement Session at Yosemite with a Rowboat | Taylor and Canyon

Taylor and Canyon have been together since high school. She is driven, motivated, and bubbly. He is more of a strong and silent type. They work very well together as a team. I suggested Yosemite National Park as the engagement session location because Canyon proposed to Taylor there. So naturally it’s more special and personal […]

Pentax 67ii Quick Review (Part 2 with pictures) | Southern California Medium Format Film Wedding Photographer

There are a few things I’ve learned using this camera in the real world. It’s not as heavy as some people may claim, no more heavier than my Nikon D800 with a 24-70 lens on it. It is very easy to focus, especially for creative compositions, due to the large bright screen. My manual focus […]

Pentax 67ii Quick Review | Southern California Medium Format Film Wedding Photographer

Well that didn’t take long. I recently decided to get myself a Pentax 67ii medium format film camera to go along with my Pentax 645nii’s for photographing weddings. Why 6×7 format and specifically the Pentax 67ii film camera? Since I already have lenses for the Pentax 67 system, I might as well get something that […]
