Wedding Photography that Feels like you.

Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a day to be lived. My job is to document it honestly, so you can be present for it. Be with your people. Hug them. Laugh with them. Hold onto each other. Dance with your friends. Sit with your grandparents. Eat the cake. Soak it in.

Because those are the moments that make you wedding your wedding.

My approach to photography is documentary at heart. I want to capture the real rhythm of the day. The big moments, of course, but also the quite ones. The nervous laugh before the ceremony. Your mom watching from across the room. The way you look at each other when on one else is paying attention. The people you love, together in one place. Celebrating something that matters.

I learned this from my own wedding.

My wife and I stepped away after our ceremony to make photographs together, and we had a wonderful time doing it. But looking back, I sometimes wish we’d spent a little less time away and a little more time right there, with each other, our families and all the people who had come to celebrate with us.

That experience changed the way I think about wedding photography.

Beautiful Portraits. Without Losing the day.

Of course we’ll make photographs of the two of you. We’ll gather the family. We’ll create some beautiful portraits that deserve a place on your walls.

But photography shouldn’t take over your wedding.

I’ll offer direction when it’s helpful, keep things relaxed, and make sure we get the photographs that matter.

And then I’ll get you back to your people.

Because when the day is over, I don’t just want to give you beautiful photographs. I want to give you photographs of a day you actually got to live.

Years from now, I want you to look through them and remember not only what your wedding looked like… but what it felt like to be there.

Weddings in Chico & Northern California

I’m a Chico wedding photographer documenting weddings throughout Northern California and beyond. Wherever the day takes us, my approach stays the same: keep things simple, let the day unfold naturally, and make photographs that feel like the people, relationships, and moments that were actually there.
