Hello, I'm JJ

I’m a San Francisco-based photographer specializing in weddings, proposals, and families. I spent more than 15 years building my career in New York City, photographing celebrations and destinations around the world before making the Bay Area home.


My experience also extends into bridal fashion, with clients including Jenny Yoo, Bari Jay Bridal, and SuitShop, and wedding work featured on the covers of Love Inc. magazine, the inclusive bridal magazine.


Nearly two decades in, my favorite part of this career is still the relationships—photographing a wedding and being invited back years later to document the family that grew from it.

My approach

 

Editorial when the moment calls for it,

documentary when it doesn’t.


I’ll give you direction when you need it, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and step back when something real is already happening. After nearly two decades of weddings, I know how to stay calm when things get hectic, keep portraits moving without making anyone feel rushed, and find the moments

you may not even realize are happening.


The goal is simple: beautiful, timeless photographs—

and an experience you actually enjoy.

 

AN EDITORIAL EYE,

BUILT OVER NEARLY TWO DECADES
