Travel came first.

It all started on the UC Berkeley campus in the year of 2008, when I discovered something called study abroad. The following year, I packed my bags for a semester in Buenos Aires, followed by a few months of backpacking around South America. And that was that. Since then, I have traveled to all seven continents, spending a total of more than six years abroad in more than 60 countries. Let's just say I have plenty of first hand experience with travel logistics. And did I mention that I am a certified travel adviser?

Then came Photography.

While doing my best to explore the world, I realized that no amount of words could really paint a picture for my loved ones back home quite like a simple photo. I got my first Sony and the rest was history. Since then, I completed a certificate of photography from Laney College and I never go anywhere without my camera.

But really, it was always Love.

I discovered elopements when a friend asked my help in planning hers. Ever since, I have been hooked on the idea. Imagine a wedding day as it should be: focused on you and the person you love most in the world, simple, stress-free, surrounded by incredible scenery, making the foundation of your marriage a creative fun experience, rather than a day paying homage to the big wedding industry while your weird uncle follows you around and your drunk bridesmaid makes the day about her. Imagine saying your vows with the wilderness as your witness. Imagine the High Sierra Nevada is your chapel. Imagine the only guests in tuxedos at your wedding are penguins! It is my passion and pleasure to make that dream real for you, because above all, your wedding day should be FUN!

Give me a call, and let's grab a beer!
