You were the very few that made this experience pleasant. I thank you for reading the room, capturing the mood, and your calming presence.

NOT A ROBOT
NOT A TREND
NOT A HASHTAG

As a Lake Tahoe wedding photographer, I photograph elopements, mountaintop ceremonies, and lakeside weddings across the Sierra. I’ve worked at Palisades Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, Rainbow Lodge, Sand Harbor, Beach Retreat and Lodge, The Landing Resort, and many more. 

Whether you’re getting married on a snowy ridge or at the lake’s edge, I document the real moments the story as it happens, without performance or influencer posturing.

I want my couples to have the best day ever, so I’m not there to boss you around or force you into weird poses. Helping you be present during your day is my goal, but I will also help you get away for some great photos at the right times.

I keep it calm and relaxed, while providing you the photos you want.
