The Art of Storytelling: Capturing Authentic Moments Through Photography

Weddings aren’t just events. They’re stories.
And the way we tell those stories matters.

Yes, there’s the big story—two people making a promise.
But there’s also the quieter ones. The layered ones.

The best friend who flew across the country, just to stand beside you.
The dad who never cries, quietly wiping a tear as you say your vows.
The two families who were strangers that morning, laughing together by nightfall.

These are the stories I photograph.
Not just the couple’s love, but the way it spreads.

What storytelling looks like in a wedding

It’s not just about portraits. It’s about the moment someone fixes your hair without thinking.
The toast that makes everyone tear up.
The way your grandmother watches you with the softest eyes.

It’s about the big love between you—and the communal love that gathers around it.

The feeling in the room when your people realize:
Thank goodness for their love. The world is better for it.

This is how memory stays alive

I photograph weddings like a quiet observer at a favorite novel.
I don’t interrupt the story. I witness it. I follow its rhythm.

And whether we’re in the middle of the redwoods, a gallery in LA, or a backyard in Austin, the truth is always the same:

What’s real will always be more beautiful than what’s staged.

Your wedding deserves to be remembered—not just as an event, but as a chapter. A love story, yes, but also a community story. A story of becoming.
