favorite things, people and places
If you’re having trouble pronouncing my name, it rhymes with Pharrell (as in Williams… as in Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth!). I have been a full-time photographer specializing in weddings, events and portraits for 15 years.
I am an Arkansas born, San Diego raised, UC Santa Barbara educated Filipino-American with a French and Scottish name.
Aside from photography and film, I also enjoy playing tennis, traveling, colorful textiles, reading, visiting art museums, and quality beach time in the winter.
It has been an honor to have my work frequently published with many print magazines and online publications including The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, Modern Luxury Weddings, Style Me Pretty, Magnolia Rouge, Destination I Do, 100 Layer Cake, French Style, California Wedding Day, Green Wedding Shoes, Snippet & Ink, and many more.
It is my goal to photograph your wedding in the form of timeless images full of light, color, and emotion. My style is both journalistic and editorial – capturing unexpected moments while also composing beautiful portraits. I want my clients to relive their wedding through their photographs, and treasure them as family heirlooms. Thank you for considering me as your photographer.
