I'm a hybrid wedding and portrait photographer. I use medium format 6x7 film and full frame digital cameras for my work. I'm based out of Southern California but have traveled throughout US and part of Europe to document weddings. My wedding photography style is modern, elegant, and timeless. Occasionally, I will do creative personal projects for fun.

Your mileage may vary

I found a place online that you can use to check the total shutter count on a Nikon camera, MyShutterCount.com.  Alternatively, you can also use Opanda EXIF reader to do the samething locally on your computer.  I’m not 100% sure if Canon has the information in their EXIF data but let me know if you find […]

My other camera

It’s a 1960 Minolta A5 film camera in mint condition.  This one has the f2.8 lens and 1/500 shutter speed.  I bought it from Craiglist for $25 but have yet to try it out.  Here’s a picture I took of the camera while testing out my light setup for a project in a few weeks.
