★★★★★ From a real couple

“He pulled us away for some golden hour and did so in a way that felt like he stopped time. It was like no one realized we were missing.”

Wedding portfolio FAQ

Before you ask

Are these real weddings?

Yes. Every gallery here is a real couple on their actual wedding day. No styled shoots, no models, no mood-board recreations. What you see is what happened.

Can I see a full wedding gallery?

Yes. These are highlight edits. Ask and I'll send you a complete wedding, start to finish, so you can see how I cover the whole day and not just the best twenty frames.

Which Lake Tahoe venues have you photographed?

Palisades Tahoe (High Camp and the Olympic Valley Event Center), Everline Resort, the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Skylandia, Sand Harbor, Sugar Bowl, The Landing, Beach Retreat & Lodge, Clair Tappaan Lodge, The Hideout at Kirkwood and Dancing Pines, plus private estates around Truckee, Tahoe City and Donner Lake.

Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings?

Yes, and you'll find a few in here, like Derek & Jack at High Camp and Jeremy & Blake at The Landing. I photograph your day the way you live it. No assumptions about who stands where.

Do you travel for weddings?

All the time. Napa, the Bay Area, Yosemite, Maui, Arizona and Cooke City, Montana are all in this portfolio. If you're getting married somewhere worth the flight, I'm in.
