Meet the Artist

I’m a wedding photographer based on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii. With over 20 years of experience as both an artist and photographer, I bring a creative, fine art approach to documenting love stories.

Born in Hawaii and raised across the U.S. in a military family, I developed an early love for new places and meeting new people. That curiosity eventually led me to photography in high school, where I discovered the joy of capturing real and meaningful moments.

During my college years at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, I pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting while simultaneously beginning my career as a wedding photographer. Since then, I’ve photographed more than a thousand weddings—each one a reminder of how fortunate I am to do what I love.

My goal is simple: to create timeless, genuine images that bring joy not only on your wedding day, but every time you look back at them for years to come.
