WEDDINGS
"Grow old with me. The best is yet to come."
-Unknown
Your wedding day deserves to be remembered in a way that feels timeless, romantic, and uniquely yours. As a Sacramento wedding photographer, I capture genuine emotions and elegant details — from the laughter during your bridal party portraits to the quiet moments you share as newlyweds.
Whether you’re planning a vineyard celebration in El Dorado Hills, a rustic barn wedding in Auburn, or a classic ballroom reception in Sacramento, my photography style blends editorial artistry with heartfelt storytelling.
Each gallery showcases the beauty of real weddings across Northern California: the first look, vows exchanged, first dances, and candid in-between moments that you’ll treasure for generations.
