The Copper Collective

Getting to capture the moments of super-in-love couples is why I do what I do. You will have the best time ever with all of your favorite family and friends, and I will help you remember it for the rest of your lives. My style is creative and dynamic: I find the good light, I find the great backdrop, and I’ll give you gentle direction for the most flattering photos. But I’ll also step back and let you totally be yourselves. I’m all about creating a beautiful image, but looking at that beautiful image is really about being back in that moment, and remembering how special it was. I love capturing a good laugh, quiet moments of romance, and the uniqueness of a venue, and the day isn’t finished until I’ve gotten that epic shot (you know, the one you might just blow up real big and hang on your wall forever).

I’ve got a life I adore, two pups who complete me (Meeko and Bear), and a jeep that takes us all on some wild adventures (whether there’s a paved road or not). I'm a big-time traveler, and love going on trips abroad (Tulum, check. Ireland, check. Greece, check!), but coming home to San Diego is the biggest treat of all. I was born and raised here and never ever want to leave—it’s basically paradise, but I’m guessing you know that. We're right on the ocean, the desert’s just outside the city, snowy mountaintops are a short drive away, and I take advantage of everything—hiking, beaching, and exploring unknown places, which can be the most beautiful of all. Kind of like marriage! And I can’t wait to explore your beautiful, unknown adventure with you.
