San Franciso, California

It's not everyday you get to have the privilege of being in the position to capture memorable moments in people's lives as this particular few hours I got to share with Michael & Shine will likely be my last. I say my last because for those who don't know the context, in 2025 I decided to retire being full time with photography to pursue becoming an electrical lineman. This doesn't mean my impact in photography will be gone entirely as my associate Chris will continue on in my place but having this opportunity to fly out to San Francisco for a day while currently working away from home in Colorado was to say the least, challenging. But regardless, having this honor to shoot my friend's memorable day was an absolute bittersweet moment for me. Michael & Shine's wedding day reminded me of how much I do love photographing these moments that will essentially last forever to be able to look back on for generations to come. Thank you guys for believing in my vision one last time as I close the chapter on this phase of my life. It's been an amazing 16 years for me and so happy to have shared my passion of photo with my friends:). Congratulations Michael + Shine 8.17.26 !🫰
