As a Sonoma County wedding photographer, I share insights, advice, and real wedding stories from weddings I’ve photographed throughout wine country and beyond. Here you’ll find posts about wedding tips, lighting techniques, venue highlights, and inspiration for couples planning their wedding in Sonoma County, Napa Valley, the North Bay, and destination locations like Las Vegas.
These posts support couples at every stage of planning, and help reinforce the topics I photograph most often with a fine art, magazine-style approach.

Direct flash photography—often called “paparazzi style”—is back in a big way, and it’s transforming how couples remember their wedding day. Here is why 2025 and 2026 weddings are bringing back the flash, and why you should embrace it.

I’m really excited to announce I will be opening a boutique portrait studio in Santa Rosa, CA. It’s time to take my flash photography skills to the next level.
