With the right light, Union Station becomes a place where love feels almost otherworldly. I shaped my light to fall softly around Catherin and Soonho, letting feel like a romantic sanctuary. It’s where love becomes the brightest part of the scene.

The true joy of photojournalism?
Seeing the unrepeatable seconds and documenting the real story. For Yuriko and Xinchen, that magic shimmered like joy that lit up the whole room.
Their sweet friends quietly wiped tears as they promised forever.

This is why i love photography.
Photojournalism meets love story.

Every wedding tells its own story. My craft is photographing these moments as they unfold, as the ceremony may fly by, but your love story remains forever in each photograph.

The knowing eye contact, a quiet tear, tender gestures of your bridesmaids.. you will have them forever.

Before the ceremony begins. She walks into the church, her veil floating to forever while he wipes away tears, about to see her for the very first time in her dress.

Moments filled with most nerves and love.
The kind of moment that stays forever in these photographs.

The in-betweens tell the biggest stories. That is why i switch lenses and perspectives even between ring shots so every photograph is with intention.

The art is in the details, and in the little moments that feel big forever.

How much do I love this engagement session? I found the perfect moment to weave in the city lights between Priya and Ronak’s quiet eye contact and kisses, soft blues and pinks into bokeh in a glow. Priya told me the jewelry was a gift from her mom, so I made sure those pieces shimmered just as beautifully as her smile. Little details that make this uniquely timeless.

Even the serene lake reflected their romance right back to them in these photographs.

Your love deserves to be captured like this: raw, luminous. An unforgettable time for my couples who want more than just portraits.

walking into your ceremony beneath arches of blooming trees -

my photojournalism thrives, in the laughter exchanged, the quiet eye contact, the raw emotions that can’t be posed.
the gallery i deliver are about love, your people and candid storytelling. it is how i make sure you’ll remember it exactly as it was.
