Weddings, elopements, and engagements across California
captured on digital and film, for couples who refuse to be
anything but exactly themselves.
Working with me means you don’t have to carry the weight of your day alone. As a Fresno photographer serving weddings, elopements, and engagements across California, I’ll guide you when you need it, give you space when you don’t, and bring calm, joyful energy from start to finish. I blend thoughtful direction with candid, in-between moments so you can stay present while I take care of the rest. The result is photographs that feel natural, connected, and deeply you — captured on digital and film, and made to last far beyond the moment.
The real magic is on film
I became a queer wedding vendor because I couldn't find one.
Now I show up for every couple the way I wish someone had shown up for us.
There is a quality to film that digital cannot fully replicate —
warmth, texture, and a softness that makes an image feel
like a memory from the moment you hold it.
Every package includes both digital and film coverage.
You are not choosing between timeless and practical.
You get both.
When I was planning my own wedding, I looked everywhere for a photographer who felt like us — someone who celebrated queer love the way we actually live it, without us having to explain ourselves or shrink to fit a template.
I couldn't find one. So I became one.
If you have ever felt like the wedding industry was not built with you in mind, you are in the right place.
I built this for you.

“Me and my wife used her for our 200+ wedding and not only was she professional and so sweet she captured memories that I honestly cannot put a price on. She thought of things we honestly did not remember and went the extra mile to become a part of our day while working with our family she was outstanding! I personally loved that she will tell you the most flattering positions but still managed to capture images that came out genuine and gorgeous. Hands down will be our future photography for years to come. “
Her attention to detail, flexibility, and most important her inclusivity is unmatched
Over 8 years experience as a wedding photographer
Your Fresno wedding has more going for it than most couples realize.
Nestled in the Central Valley with Yosemite just two hours away, you have access to some of California's most stunning backdrops without a destination price tag.
The Central Valley brings warmth, diversity, and that rare quality where your
vendors actually feel like community.
Whether you are saying 'I do' at Evanelle Vineyards, by the water at Wolf Lakes, in the gardens of Starlight Grove, or beneath the granite cliffs of Yosemite — Fresno holds something genuinely beautiful for every kind of love story.
And I will be right there for all of it.
