Capturing Emotion. Creating Memories.

With over 35 years of experience, I bring a unique blend of artistry, vision, and calm leadership to every wedding and event I’m honored to be part of. Whether behind the camera, standing at the altar as your officiant, or coordinating the details behind the scenes, my role is simple:
To create and capture the emotions that make your day unforgettable.

My strength lies in my ability to see moments before they happen, to anticipate needs, reduce stress, and create an environment where beautiful stories naturally unfold. 

I have produced hundreds of events, photographed thousands of stories, and led professional teams who understand the importance of storytelling through both images and experiences.

From the intimacy of elopements to the grandeur of large-scale celebrations, my role is to help bring your dream day into reality, no matter the size or style.

Before devoting myself fully to weddings and events, I spent 18 years in the funeral industry, organizing complex events and guiding families through some of life’s most emotional moments, often with just days to plan.  That experience taught me how to remain steady, thoughtful, and detail-oriented no matter the circumstance. I am also an ordained minister, hold an MBA from Pepperdine University, and earned a PhD from Azusa Pacific University.  This journey has shaped my ability to not only organize but deeply empathize with the people I serve.

First and foremost, I am an artist.
Photography is my lifelong passion, born from my deep appreciation for the feminine mystique, the beauty of human connection, and a personal quest for growth and healing. In a world that often carries sorrow, war, and heartbreak, creating beauty through photography is a way of feeding the soul and finding peace.

My work is not simply about taking pictures, it’s about capturing the feeling of a moment. These photographs and films serve as a time capsule for you and your family to revisit for generations, a single chance to freeze the joy, love, and emotion of one of the most important days of your life.

• Calm, confident leadership on your wedding day. 
• Full-service expertise: Photography, Videography, Officiating & Coordination. 
• Low-stress, highly organized planning. 
• Anticipating needs before they arise. 
• Deep respect for your story, your family, and your traditions.
• A lifelong love for capturing beauty, emotion, and meaning.

Every couple deserves to have their love journey told with care, artistry, and heart.
It would be an honor to be part of your story.
