I’m a firm believer that there’s no template f I’m a firm believer that there’s no template for how to do the “wedding thing”. Linda asked if it was ok to wear her @moniquelhuillier wedding dress to the pre-wedding portraits because @saintjosephsartsfoundation had the most incredible light and backdrops. I was all about it and am so glad we decided to do it. Looking forward to the wedding day at @nestldownevents with the amazing @blooming_wed.

As a father, watching my kids grow up has made me As a father, watching my kids grow up has made me realize the importance of capturing fleeting moments that showcase who they are in each stage of their life. This same mentality has given me an immense appreciation for photographing kids at weddings – an experience that will always hold a special place in my heart. There's something about the way they see the world - with such curiosity and wonder - that I find truly captivating. Their honesty is something I deeply appreciate. When they laugh, they do it with abandon; when they dance, they do it with joy. There are no inhibitions or pretenses – only an open curiosity for life. So when I get to capture those candid moments of little ones at weddings, it's like capturing a little piece of magic which constantly reminds me to view the world with the same wonder and imagination that they do.

These two are officially part of my family. There These two are officially part of my family.  There are no words that can truly describe just how genuine, kind, loving, wonderful, and talented Kerra & Chris are.  They were an absolute dream to work and celebrate with.  It was an impossible mission to summarize this day into 10 slides, especially as a story teller, but there will be much more to come.

Imagery from a recent portrait session with Stepha Imagery from a recent portrait session with Stephanie and Kash, two incredibly talented visual creatives: Stephanie's an architect and Kash is a documentary filmmaker. Their passion for the creative process made the session that much more fun to work on.  Always an honor to work with other artists.  Looking forward to their wedding in Big Sur later this year!

Chao and Tej's wedding was truly an unforgettable Chao and Tej's wedding was truly an unforgettable celebration full of beautiful moments. Even more special was what happened after the wedding - when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, Chao and Tej, being accomplished surgeons as they are, took the time to talk to me and offer their help. Despite their incredibly busy lives, they selflessly gave up their time to help someone in need. This simple act of kindness speaks volumes about the kind of people they are - thoughtful, generous and deeply caring individuals. I am so lucky to know them and honored to have documented their story.  A special thank you to the entire team involved:
