¡Bienvenido!

When I think about my love of photography and its power to warm hearts and stir souls, I think of documentary photography. Documentary Photography is an important method of recording history, sharing emotional truth, and often inspiring change.

It is also the most arduous in the field of Professional Photography. 

I am a Documentary Photographer. Therefore, my work tends to be spontaneous and not too staged. Shooting fast with a keen eye. My goal is to catch you at your most natural and beautiful self with minimal direction or intrusion. Once your shoot is complete, it may take an average of two weeks to one month to create an immersive, musically driven cinematic experience unlike anything you will ever forget. Every wedding or event is extremely unique in content, style, camera work and editing. No projects are ever alike and no songs are ever used twice or in other projects.

My photographic training and background is in the Motion Picture and Television Industry and my influences range from Ansel Adams to Terrence Malick. Epic. Visceral. Elegant. But above all... Unforgettable.

It is my sincere hope that you will thoroughly enjoy my work!
