A quiet ceremony at the Sonoma garden estate
Sarah and Ben chose vows over an audience — and we'll never look at folding chairs the same way.

About
I'm a documentary-style wedding photographer drawn to the soft afternoon light and the in-between moments — the quiet ones between the ones everyone remembers.
I've spent the last decade learning that the best photographs come from being present, not directing. My approach is patient, observational, and a little nostalgic. I want your wedding day to feel like itself — not a Pinterest board.
When I'm not photographing, I'm on a long walk with my dog, planning slow road trips with my partner, or working through stacks of rare cookbooks.

Words from couples
Sloane made the day feel like ours. She was somehow everywhere and nowhere — the photos are the things our parents are now framing.
Hiring her was the first thing we did and the only thing we never second-guessed. The gallery still makes us cry six months later.
She caught moments we didn't know happened. That's the whole job, isn't it?
Questions, answered
How far in advance should we book?
Most couples reserve 9–14 months ahead. I photograph a small number of weddings each year, so popular dates go first.
Do you travel for weddings?
Always — I photograph weddings worldwide. Travel beyond Northern California is billed at cost, never as an added day rate.
How many images will we receive, and when?
A full wedding delivers 500+ hand-edited high-resolution images in a private gallery, usually within 6–8 weeks.
Do you offer albums and prints?
Yes — heritage-quality fine-art albums and archival prints are designed with you after your gallery is ready.
What if you are ill on the day?
I carry full backup gear and a trusted network of vetted photographers, so your day is always covered.
How do we reserve our date?
A signed agreement and a deposit, both handled securely on this site, lock in your date.
