Wedding photographer in Hawaiʻi and beyond
I photograph weddings as living, breathing stories — not staged perfection, but composed moments shaped by light, emotion, and attention. My work leans editorial and warm at once: fashion-inspired framing, real feeling underneath.
I love modern celebrations, thoughtful details, and couples who care about how the day looks as much as how it felt.

A bit about me
I grew up in Beaverton, Oregon, where I fell in love with capturing amazing shots and life’s greatest moments — a sunset over the backyard, a friend’s genuine laugh, the five seconds right after a joke lands. That love turned into a camera in my hand more often than not, and eventually into a career telling other people’s stories.
These days I’m based in Honolulu, photographing weddings, elopements, and portraits across Hawai’i and beyond. My style is warm, a little editorial, and always focused on the moments that actually matter — not the posed ones, but the real ones. The laugh before the vows. The look between two people who forgot anyone else was watching.
If you’re looking for someone who’ll treat your day like it matters just as much to me as it does to you, that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Portraits
Every session starts with the same idea: less posing, more living. Whether it’s a two-hour elopement on the coast or a full wedding day, I keep things relaxed and unhurried so the photos feel like you, not a performance.

Inquire
Send your date, location, and a little about the session. I reply within 48 hours with availability.
Meet
A call to talk through the day, the look you want, and which package actually fits.
Hold the date
A signed agreement and a 30% retainer lock it in. The balance can be split monthly.
Deliver
Sneak peeks in 72 hours, the full gallery in 1–2 weeks, albums after your selects.
Do you travel?
Often. Travel within Oʻahu is included. Neighbor islands and mainland trips are quoted per trip — usually flights, one to two nights of lodging, and ground transit at cost.
Can we split payments?
Yes. After the retainer, the balance can be spread across monthly payments up to two weeks before the date.
What if we’re awkward in front of a camera?
Nearly everyone says this. I direct enough to keep you comfortable and then let you be, which is where the photos you actually want come from.
How many images do we get?
Delivery counts are listed with each package above — every image is color-corrected by hand, no batch presets, no AI edits.

Two people, a handful of witnesses (or none at all), and a day built entirely around you. I keep elopements simple and unhurried — real vows, real reactions, and the quiet in-between moments that get missed at a bigger wedding.
