Joshua Tree Intimate Weddings & Gatherings
As a witness to many beautiful days, I love to capture weddings that are very intentional. From the guest list to the details- everything has meaning behind it. My hope is to capture the emotion of the day completely without the couple noticing the camera much at all. I will make friends with your guests so I can get emotive images of them that will be sentimental. Your photos are as much about you, as they are about those who love you and the sacred collective experience that is your wedding day.
Approach
Weddings are photographed using a blend of digital and 35mm film.
Film isn’t an add-on or a performance—it’s simply part of how I see. I reach for it when a moment feels especially timeless, emotional, or worth slowing down for. The balance between film and digital allows for both precision and softness, structure and spontaneity.
I work efficiently and with intention, which means less time posing and more time actually experiencing the day. My couples do not miss cocktail hour unless they want to. The end result is a gallery that feels complete, honest, and human—without excess or spectacle.
Wedding Collections
No two weddings look quite the same, and your photography coverage shouldn’t have to fit into a predetermined package.
Wedding photography is generally $600 per hour, with coverage tailored to your day. Whether you’re planning an intimate Joshua Tree ceremony, a Palm Springs celebration, or a full wedding day with everyone you love, we’ll talk through your plans and figure out how much coverage actually makes sense for you. Most couples book 4 hours.
Inquire to tell me what you’re planning, and we’ll build the right coverage for your day.

FAQ
How far ahead should I book my wedding photographer?
One year ahead is the standard, however smaller weddings tend to happen more last minute. Do not hesitate to inquire last minute.
Do you offer a client styling consult?
I do love sharing my knowledge of current wedding trends. Every one of my couples has my ear for ideas free of charge. From favor ideas, theme ideas, and guest experience elements.
Do you recommend including family pets?
YES! I love to include fur babies. Please do let me know so that I can be sure the location you choose allows animals.
How soon will I receive the gallery?
Typical delivery is 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the collection you select. Processing the film and composing the gallery just right takes time. Rush delivery is available for an extra charge.
