VIRAL LOS ANGELES LESBIAN INDIAN WEDDING
VIRAL LOS ANGELES LESBIAN INDIAN WEDDING

Back in the summer of 2013, I had the honor of photographing this intimate and heartfelt wedding ceremony between Shannon and Seema at the SmogShoppe in Los Angeles. Little did I know at that time that it would spread around the world with the speed that only true love stories can. This viral lesbian Indian wedding not only captured widespread attention but also highlighted the significant importance of queer representation in society, particularly in the context of relationships during a period that preceded the historic passing of marriage equality in June 2015.

The shot of him in mid conversation shows the gentle intensity of this human being. I am so glad I told my nerves to scam. I had been following Dylan and his photography work since Myspace days. His photographs always stuck with me so getting to not only sit down to have a conversation with him but to get the honor of taking his portrait is not lost on me. Thankful for this time in life. Thankful for the protest photographs and stories he shared almost 15 years ago…they were the catalyst for me wanting to do something meaningful with my work.

FOGO DE CHAO CONFERENCE // DALLAS

Conference photography is an excellent way to remember specific moments at the event, but conference recap videography is the best way to showcase the intentionality and really share the spirit of the event itself. Imagine seeing your emotions and in-the-moment reactions to awards and keynote speakers played on the big screen, in-person. Those are the core memories your team and attendees take with them after the conference ends, and what most clients in the past have said was the most rewarding part of the experience.

INK AND HAMMER PORTRAITS // DAYTON

This was my first ever “day in the life of” branding session. Let me set the scene…it’s 2013 in a city I had never spent time it. I am pretty sure I wandered into their shop our of sheer curiosity and said hey I would love to spend the day with you all and snap a few photos of you all just BEING together. You seem cool. Anytime I’ve done that I never regret my decision. Trust your gut and talk to people. My time with the crew over at Ink and Hammer Manufacturing Company in Dayton really left me wanting more. MORE of small businesses getting their hands dirty.

My incredible team took the reins on this project as I sorted through losing my home & studio in a flash flood in Dallas. 2022 was a bit of a blur filled with unexpected changes, but I feel incredibly lucky to have such talented photographers who I can trust implicitly to capture genuine smiles and moments. I truly love how these headshots turned out for Scientific Global in New York City.
