Frequently asked questions

happy-go-lucky oakland native with 10 years' wedding experience

Anchored in Oakland’s rich heritage, I am a fourth-generation local with many stories to tell about my family’s deep roots here!

With a degree in Digital Arts and Graphic Design, I found my true calling in wedding photography well over a decade ago. My passion lies in capturing happy tears on the wedding day, from whispered vows to heartfelt speeches. It never gets boring as each wedding is so different.

My experience encompasses a spectrum of celebrations, emphasizing LGBTQ+ inclusivity and cross-cultural expertise. My approach is a blend of gentle guidance and unobtrusive observation. I am smiley, easy-going, and easy to work with. I will be bossy and help direct the day at times, and other times you won’t notice I’m there while I’m snapping away getting those authentic candid photos.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a staunch advocate for kindness and equality. My personal world is filled with love of stand-up comedy (watching rather than performing!), swimming and scuba diving which I will happily do for hours, and my sweet, naughty Boston terrier, Carl.

Experienced Bay Area photographer blending guidance with candid moments

For over 15 years, I have had a camera in my hands, driven by the challenge of finding the honest, unscripted moments that happen between the poses.

My background is in candid city street photography, shaped as a Bay Area native, where a photo is more valuable if it captures a fleeting moment that can’t be replicated.

I apply that mentality to every photoshoot, where I always aim to be a calm, steady presence so you can simply enjoy your wedding day while I capture your personal history with care.

I’m super relaxed, easy-going, and always have a big smile on my face—because I’m truly pursuing my dream career after many years as an account manager in tech.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually spending time my wife, baby daughter, and our dog Chewie (AKA Mr. Baby). I’m big on Type-II fun: scuba diving, freediving, and competitive Taekwondo.

To unwind, I consume endless true crime documentaries and caffeine. I love travelling, K-Pop, and snowy weather. If you want to talk Star Wars or How I Met Your Mother, I’m your guy!

connection-focused photography, built around you

I’m all about going with the flow and helping those in front of my lens feel comfortable, since I know that how daunting that can be! I take the time to get to know people before I start clicking.

Finding that connection allows trust to build, which in turn creates a more relaxed environment. This allows for the most authentic captures! I’m an extrovert, always smiling and love to laugh, so chances are I will try my best to get you laughing as well!

I’m a 1.5 generation Filipino American immigrant and SF native. I’m so grateful to have grown up in such a culturally diverse city, which opened up my mind to connecting with different cultures—triggering a perpetual case of the travel bug.

Photography has always been my favorite souvenir. It allows me to easily recall special memories from my trips. I love the ability to look at a photo and remember how I felt—which is why I love taking photos of people.

I find so much joy in having the ability to offer that experience for others.

FORMALLY TRAINED PHOTOGRAPHER WITH A PASSION FOR MOMENTS

My wedding photography journey started in 2012. After majoring in Photography, I was asked to assist a wedding photographer in 2011 and completely fell in love with the experience.

I proceeded to photograph weddings and engagements while working for a medical device company in the Bay Area. Then, in 2017 I got married and moved to a new city. It was time to make my part-time hustle my full-time passion!

The driving force behind what I do is the memory of my grandma. She had Alzheimer’s and passed away a few years ago. It saddened me to witness her not remember such precious memories - and it taught me how important it was to preserve them.

Capturing these once-in-a-lifetime memories for couples excites and thrills me so much—AND it’s a lot of fun!

As a wedding photographer, I do my best to document your big day and capture your loved ones, as well as everything you worked hard on to make your dreams a reality.

connection-focused photography, built around you

I’m an Oakland native with a passion for documenting life and all the beauty that comes with it. Photography has been a constant source of joy in my life, and I hold much gratitude and respect for this craft and the moments it has allowed me to preserve.

I love documenting people and creating a comfortable, relaxed environment, essentially capturing genuine moments you’ll love looking back on. I know being in front of the camera can feel stiff at first, but with some fun prompts, gentle guidance, and a little eye-to-eye magic with your loved ones, I’m confident our time together will quickly be a fun and easygoing experience!

A few fun facts about me: When life’s not too busy, you can probably find me taking dance classes, binge-watching TV, exploring and eating my way around the Bay Area with friends, and traveling to Korea to see family when possible.

In recent years, I’ve made it my mission to curate my surroundings as artfully as I can, so there’s a good chance I’ll be home rearranging things or bringing home “vibey” thrift store finds that I like to believe are artistic treasures… though my other half likes to think otherwise.

connection-attuned colombiana with a heart for multi-cultural celebrations

I am a Spanish-speaking wedding photographer in the Bay Area!

I believe the best photos come from real connection. I’m a very emotional person, and I love being close to the people I photograph.

On wedding days, I’m here to experience the day with you, so you can feel relaxed, comfortable, and free. When that happens, the moments captured are honest, natural, and full of feeling.

My life is shaped by diversity and different cultures. I’m Colombian, Spanish is my first language, and I’ve been living in San Francisco since 2020.

My home is a mix of worlds: my husband is Japanese, we speak more than one language at home, and sometimes Spanglish takes over, usually with lots of laughter. (And we have a sweet little cat!) This multicultural life allows me to connect naturally with couples from all backgrounds.

I’ve been in photography since my teenage years, starting as an assistant in a small-town studio. Today, I’m living my dream! There is nothing I love more than showing up for couples on one of the most important days of their lives, cheering you on and guiding you through it all.
