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.
