Maui, Hawaiʻi

Weddings / Near & far

A place. A feeling.
A story that is yours.

The ocean behind you. Your people around you. A quiet moment in the middle of it all. I photograph the beauty of the setting and the feeling of being there, with an editorial eye and room for the day to unfold.

From Washington celebrations to weddings in Hawaiʻi, I bring calm direction to portraits and stay attentive to the moments you could never plan.

Expressive portraits. Considered light. A sense of movement. Photography for people and brands with something of their own to say.

Corporate / Events & experiences

The room.
The people.
The whole story.

Give people a reason to wish they had been there. From the atmosphere in the room to the conversations that bring it to life, I create event photographs your team can use to share the experience long after the evening ends.
