About

I believe the best stories are the real ones.

I started taking photos to preserve the moments I never want to forget with my family. Now I get to help others do the same. My approach is simple: document real moments, tell honest stories, and create photos — and the occasional film — that will mean more with time.

Now Booking — Weddings

Wedding photography, captured honestly.

I'm taking on a limited number of weddings through Halation Studio — attentive, documentary-style photography centered on the people, emotion, and moments that make the day yours. I work solo, so every wedding gets my full attention.

Coverage starts with the ceremony and builds up from there — add reception coverage, an engagement session, or a bridal/formal session as you need them. (For couples marrying in a temple, photography isn't permitted inside the sealing, so coverage begins at the exit.)
