“My background is in Studio Art from UC Santa Barbara (Go Gauchos!), and I have years of experience as a photojournalist for the Santa Barbara News-Press, I bring a trained documentary eye to my wedding photography. I focus on capturing both the biggest moments and the quiet, in-between details, because I love things that are beautiful but it’s so important to me to be deeply authentic.”
