Interview
IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT… likely with friends and my Labradoodle molly wine tasting or hiking on the coast.
MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS… to this date, the Italian Alps have been my favorite. Not only does Northern Italy have the gorgeous mountains, and the wine, but the region has a special flare to Italian food with wild and natural character.
THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS… I would love to go to Patagonia Argentina, I’ve fallen in love with the rugged landscape of that region and would love to spend some time there fly fishing and exploring nature.
WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS… I love meeting new couples and making new friends. Weddings are all about connections, connecting with couple, and the guests so they feel comfortable with you taking authentic images of them.
IF I DIDN’T DO THIS FOR A JOB I WOULD BE… I love learning, and come 2021 I’ll actually also be graduating law school as an intellectual property attorney. Being in the industry of creatives, I know how much copyrights and trademarks are relied upon to survive, one of the reasons I have chosen to help business owners in this area of law.
IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE…find vendors that you would want to be friends with, style aside, your photo & video team should be people that you would want to spend the day with. You will be spending one of the most important days of your life with them and you need to be able to have FUN with them and TRUST them to capture your special day seamlessly.
I LOVE WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE… California is the best, within a few hours I can be hiking on a beach or skiing in the mountains. Eating Mexican food or Italian food, and all of the fresh seafood. It is great being a photographer & videographer in one of the most beautiful places in the world!
IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… Italy… pasta, wine, and friends in the countryside, what more do you need in life?
MOST MEMORABLE MEAL I’VE EVER EATEN WAS… I ate at Osteria Cinghiale Bianco in Florence, Italy. By far the best meal of my life. The restaurant was packed, and with one little table up in their loft, I was able to share a meal here with someone I love intimately tucked away with our table overlooking the restaurant.
THE PETS I OWN ARE… I have one little doggo, Molly. She is a medium sized chocolate colour Australian Labradoodle. You can likely find her as the co-pilot in my truck and being spoiled everywhere we go.
