I had been thinking for a while that someone should just create a set of actions that would make digital files mimic film. Well today it showed up: VSCO Film. In short, VSCO Film is a set of digital actions/presets for Lightroom and Photoshop that take digital raw files and make them look like different…
I am so excited that Wedding Nouveau has chosen to feature my work again! I just recently had Nami & Jeffrey’s wedding featured in their magazine, and now Ragini & Brandon’s wedding is featured on their blog. Wedding Nouveau is a wonderful site that focuses on multicultural weddings. I am so impressed by the care…
I am so incredibly honored to have been featured on various wedding websites in the past few weeks and months. It is always so exciting to be accepted for publication, and it is still very surreal to see other people publishing my work. I am very grateful for the opportunity! Please click on any of…
I am so incredibly honored to be published in the fall issue of Wedding Nouveau magazine. This is the first time my work has been featured in a print publication! I’ve said it before, but there is just something very special about being able to see my photographs on paper and hold them in my…
Over two months and ten weddings have elapsed since I took these photos in Arizona, but I am finally getting around to sharing these little film gems. I will admit, it’s taken a while for me to catch up to myself. Between the travel and the back to back weddings and the countless hours spent…
You might never guess that their paths would cross. She, the little girl from Japan with a sweetness and sincerity about her and a knack for helping others and he, the little boy from Rwanda with a huge heart and a profound passion for community.

Before we even begin, please take a couple minutes to watch the highlight film created by our sister company, Seaglass Cinema. It captures the day beautifully! Ragini and Brandon | 07.02.11 from Seaglass Cinema on Vimeo. The easiest, most obvious thing to say about Ragini and Brandon is that they are both incredibly brilliant. You could even say…
It was extreme croquet and homemade soap that joined them together. But mostly the soap. He had you at the transesterification reaction! Long story short, they were inside having tea after a game of extreme croquet (crazy wicket placement!) when the fact that Ryan’s family makes their own soap came up in conversation. This otherwise…
Today’s post is a bit of a collaboration. I had the absolute pleasure of working with some amazing wedding vendors to create a beautiful styled shoot a couple of months ago, and we’re excited to share it here.

Letterpress is an old mechanical process involving giant finnicky old printing presses and plenty of manual labor (yes, you actually…
They have lovingly been dubbed the Duke and the Duchess, after Colin’s last name Duke. On a sunny day in June, they were married in a beautiful celebration with just the right amount of elegance and romance befitting their royal titles. The day comprised an array of beautiful settings in Geyserville, Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg,…
I have been slowly creating a new set of packaging for my photography business. I wanted something beautiful yet simple. I paired the turquoise in my logo with natural kraft tones, and I quite like the overall look that I ended up with. First up, my half-sized kraft pocket folders. This one was stamped with…
