I'm an American living part of the year in Orange County, California and Edinburgh, Scotland with the love of my life and traveling all over the world to photograph love stories!
I’m a movie buff, obsessed with Hogwarts, Halloween and wonderfully bad Nick Cage movies. I quote Movies and TV shows like a second language. I'm passionate about human connection and storytelling.
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a storyteller. I spent my youth at the cinema with my Dad every weekend. And when we weren't having a Noir marathon, we were people watching and playing that game where you get points for spotting Neo or Trinity in a crowd. But I digress. I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I bring that magic and wonder into everything I photograph.
I’m just a romantic at heart and I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life! I'm lucky AF to be in an industry that is surrounded with so much love ... and cake, cake is really important too.

Maybe that's the BEST reason to have it.
BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON.
- Harry & Ginny
Seems silly, doesn't it? A wedding. Given everything that's going on......
It's my favorite place in the whole world. I came for the Harry Potter but stayed because I fell in love with not only the city but a Scotsman. I draw inspiration from the rich history, the 400 year old architecture and the way the city comes alive in Spring!
Edinburgh
My home
Harry Potter marathons are my guilty pleasure! I usually watch them while I edit photos and every Christmas break! I've also been known to spend a full day just in Wizarding World at Universal Studios. Well that was before I visited Edinburgh and felt the magic of the city!

I love movies in general. My favorite genres are Fantasy, Sci Fi, Noir and British + Italian Gangster movies. My favorite actor is Nicholas Cage. I'm still trying to decide if he is the worst or best actor. I'm in the middle of doing the Nick Cage Challenge - watching all of his lead roles - 116 movies and growing!

The retro vibe of analog super 8 film captures the true feeling and emotion of the day in a way a photograph can't. Here is my favorite personal Super 8 Video, featuring my first 6 months in Scotland!!
Photographing you is like meeting you inside of your movie. I get a glimpse into your life and I'm honored to creatively capture your connection, your vibrance, your world. My style is inspired by film, its cinematc, colorful and contrasty, with natural skin tones and a touch of magic.
I believe that great photos come from building an awesome relationship with you. I want to capture real laughter and raw emotion, not cookie-cutter, overly posed wedding photos, because real love is about so much more than that.
