Based in northern California, in the little town of Grass Valley, and available for travel. Locally from Nevada County, Tahoe, Roseville, Sacramento, Napa, San Francisco, Bay Area, Chico, and Redding and down to Los Angeles, Newport Beach, Malibu, and San Diego are some of the places California has to offer. But I’m not only a northern California wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy to travel to amazing places like Vancouver BC, San Antonio, Philadelphia, New York, Cape Cod, Washington DC, Boston, and Charleston. And now that I’ve traveled to Albania, Rome, Florence, Venice, and the shores of Italy and over to Provence and Paris, France, I can’t wait to go back and capture more memories on film! Passport in one hand and a camera in the other!
