BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Justin

I've always been drawn to all things creative, but didn't pick up a camera until my senior year in high school to document a trip my friends and I were taking to San Francisco.  I had no idea how to correctly work my camera, but instantly fell in love with the concept of capturing moments in an artistic way.  What started out as a passion for photography quickly turned into a passion for people and the love they share.  After more than a decade photographing weddings throughout California and the West Coast, I've learned that the photographs couples treasure most aren't always the ones we plan. They're the fleeting expressions, movement, embraces and unexpected moments in between.

My approach balances those honest moments with thoughtful editorial portraiture, creating a collection that feels elevated, effortless and entirely your own.
