After a near-death experience, I realized how I haven't been living.

I've always held a camera since I was a child. But naturally, as a child of immigrant parents, I was told that I should pursue a “real job” and that I should take the safe route.

Growing up with not much money, I believed in that narrative because I was trying to survive in the world.

At the moment I was sitting in a hospital bed, I had many regrets. The biggest one was that I didn’t truly live my own life. I lived one written out for me.

I realized my time here on earth was finite, and that was when my second life begun. One where I pursue what I've always dreamed of.

I probably died and now I'm living my second life.

I took my camera, traveled across the world, and photographed to my heart's content.

Photography taught me how to express my own unique perspective and story.

It was a full reset from my childhood narrative. 

I discovered true freedom for myself. Finally, the writer of my own story.  Spending time on what matters in life.

My work now is about helping you do the same because

We might as well spend our days as if it's our last. Because who knows when that is?

There's a finite number of times you'll kiss your partner. There's a finite number of times you'll share a laughter.

We can't get time back, but we can choose how we spend it and we can certainly freeze moments in time.

My approach to elopements is about valuing the precious time you share with each other.

Saving you time by taking every wedding planning stress away,  intentional timeline building around the things you value, preserving time by documenting real moments of those kisses and laughers.

It's my greatest joy to see you live your best life on your wedding day, spending it on what matters most on one of the most important days in your life

Whether we work together or not, thank you so much for taking your time to read my story. 

Cheers,

It would be my honor to be alongside you for the ride. 

I took my first solo trip to Japan where I fell in love with travel photography. Behind the lens, I couldn’t get enough of capturing the uniqueness of every moment—the people, the cultures, and the ever-changing beauty of nature around me.

Photography taught me how to express my own unique perspective and story.

It was a full reset from my childhood of restrictions: not being able to see the world, not being able to connect with friends, not even being able to dress the way I wanted.

I discovered true freedom for myself, finally the writer of my own story.

My work now is about helping you do the same because…

Life's biggest decisions should come from your heart. Your wedding is one of them.

From start to finish, your wedding will unfolds in its own way. 

By choosing an adventure elopement, you can experience a completely unique wedding driven by your own dreams and values in life. Your wedding day can reflect who you are, not who you’re expected to be.

When you look back years from now, my hope is that your photos bring you back to the emotions, feelings, and excitement of your once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

That they feel like an artistic capture of living your best life, moment by moment.
