HEY THERE, I’M MAY
My GOAL — to make sure you feel celebrated, beautiful, and seen.
I’m a Southern California based wedding photographer. Find me in Los Angeles with my partner of 14 years, sipping matcha, likely scheming our next travel adventure.
I’m going to be honest with you. When a loved one passed away in 2016, grief hit me like a ton of bricks. I left my startup job, took time to heal, and wrestled with some big life questions, including — how did I want to spend my one life on this pale blue dot called home?
Documenting the good times, cultivating new friendships, and celebrating love was my answer. I’ve learned firsthand just how important photos are.
My background in film production has taught me how to balance the creative with the logistics. I’m hands-on with timelines, styling advice, organizing family photos. I’m here to help so we can get to the important stuff.
I capture more than just photos — I preserve memories for a living. I love documenting the big moments and also the quiet ones too. If you’re looking for a visual storyteller who is always curious and overly nostalgic, I’d love to chat.
