A Deeper Purpose

Our parents divorced when we were ages 10 and 5, and we yearned for nothing more than to have the people we love be together again. Family, whether by genetics or by association, remains important to us to this day. Photography is just one of many ways for us to live our lives purposefully - using our craft to stir the hearts of people and their loved ones for generations. It is our deepest hope that the stories and memories we share will endure as timeless reminders to treasure life’s most precious gift — the ones we hold dear.

From Whitney & Matsaya

"You captured our family in the most beautiful way."

-Nancy, Mother of Bride

Matsaya

For as long as I can remember, the camera has been a beloved presence in my family, a cherished tool for preserving connection and beauty. My own journey into photography began in middle school when my father gifted me my very first camera, a gesture that quietly shaped my path. In those early days, my focus was on creating portraits that were visually captivating and aesthetically refined. But over time, my vision deepened. I found myself yearning to go beyond beauty and to capture truth, emotion, and the quiet power of storytelling through each frame. Today, my purpose is not just to photograph moments but to preserve meaning, move hearts, and tell stories that endure.

In the quiet of the evening, I often find myself scrolling through my phone, smiling at the fleeting moments of my family captured throughout the day. I know the ache of missing a perfect moment when the phone isn't fast enough, or the light slips away too soon. On your wedding day, I’ll be there to capture every detail, every glance, every laugh — not on a phone, but through the lens of a professional camera, with the artistry and precision your day deserves. All you need to do is be present, soak in the joy, and let me preserve it all for you, beautifully and effortlessly.
