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.

Wedding Collections

No two weddings look quite the same.

Wedding photography is generally $550 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.

Although Joshua Tree is home and I photograph many weddings here, I do love to travel. I love to work anywhere a couple with a great love wants to say I do.  The desert has many great venues such as The Parker, Rancho 51 Date Garden, The Morada, Sacred Sands, and Hicksville Trailer Palace. I love small guest lists and big intentions. Feel the vibes below.
