Cuvier Club and Wedding Bowl
After photographing nearly 200 weddings at the Cuvier Club, I finally experienced my first December wedding there—and wow, it did not disappoint! I’ve always loved this venue for its charm, but the winter light brought a whole new level of magic.
The Cuvier Club has always been one of my favorite places to work. Its versatility and charm make it the perfect backdrop for every couple’s story, and this wedding reminded me why I fell in love with photographing here in the first place.
Here’s to more magical winter weddings—and more unforgettable moments at this incredible venue!

Lieutenant Colonel’s Last Flight – F/A-18D Hornet
A good friend recently celebrated his final flight in the F/A-18D, and he invited me to capture the moment with his family. After 22 years of dedicated service in both the Navy and Marines — including multiple deployments to Iraq — Lieutenant Colonel Clayton Penton is transitioning from the skies to a desk. Wishing him the best in this new chapter, and heartfelt thanks for his service

Savvy Giving By Design
I have been working with Savvy Giving By Design for a few years now. They are a children’s charity that remodels rooms for kids who are in a medical crisis, and as a result of their medical condition, they have to spend an extraordinary amount of time at home and in their room. The goal of this charitable organization is to give these kids a comfortable and safe space to heal. This video was produced as party of a fundraising event that was hosted in late 2022, and I hope some of you who see this page take the full 12 minutes of your time to watch this video and learn about the great work going on here in San Diego and across the country.

Studio class at UCSD
Once a year I teach a studio photography class at UCSD. This is a 27 hour course that culminates with a full day in the studio with professional models and an assortment of available studio lighting. During the day I don’t get to take a lot of photos (I make myself the lighting assistant for my students), but I always manage to get a few snaps.
