storyteller | film photographer in Vancouver
family, elopement and intimate wedding photography, all on 35mm film
All film. No Posing. Just feeling
There's something nostalgic about film. Something honest. You only get so many frames. So I'm careful to watch and dive into the feeling of a session using a journalistic eye. No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just honest, grainy memories you can feel.
My style is photojournalistic and heartfelt—perfect for people who value story over spectacle and presence over perfection. Because the real moments are the best ones.

For as long as I can remember, I've always been fascinated by photographs, documenting people, places and things. Then I picked up my first 35mm film camera. I was obsessed.
Film allowed me to slow down. To seek out moments, capture light, love, and emotion.
My approach to photography is to simply watch. Watch parents interact with their kids, watch couples doing their favourite things together, and simply document. Consider me a fly on the wall. The most perfect moments are actually imperfect.
