Engagement and elopement sessions

We photograph engagement sessions throughout Novato and nearby locations such as Indian Valley, Stafford Lake Park, and the Marin coastline. For elopements we focus on efficiency and atmosphere, delivering a concise collection of images that capture your ceremony, portraits, and natural surroundings. I help with location scouting and timing to maximize light and minimize stress.

Our photography approach and style

Our style is a balanced mix of documentary and editorial photography. We prioritize candid emotion — the laughter, the tears, the small gestures — while also crafting composed portraits that highlight your personalities and setting. Transitioning between unobtrusive storytelling and intentional portraiture allows us to create a varied gallery that reads like a narrative.

We use professional cameras, lenses, and lighting to produce clean, color-accurate images that stand the test of time. I continuously refine my craft through ongoing education and practical experience, ensuring reliable delivery in challenging lighting and weather conditions common in Novato and Marin County.

Post production and editing

After the wedding we carefully cull and edit every image for color, exposure, and composition. Our signature look emphasizes natural tones, crisp detail, and emotional authenticity. We provide both fully retouched high-resolution images and web-ready files for easy sharing with family and friends.
