Photo Shoots in Paramount, CA

I help make your day smooth, fun and the service brief, yet memorable. I'm an ordained minister, and licensed in the state of California to do weddings. I have been officiating for the past 6 years. Couples have always appreciated the way I customize and make the experience unique for them.

With almost two decades of experience and hundreds of ceremonies performed, I specialize in creating wedding and life ceremonies that are truly personal, inclusive, and memorable. While I happily officiate for both religious and non-religious couples, I am most often sought out by those who want a ceremony that feels meaningful and authentic-without religious language or themes. I understand that many couples worry about how non-religious ceremonies will be received by family members, especially those with strong faith backgrounds. My approach is to craft a ceremony so heartfelt and engaging that the absence of religious elements isn’t even noticed. Your ceremony will stand beautifully on its own, celebrating your unique story and values. As a skilled writer and experienced officiant, I will help you shape the content and flow of your ceremony, weaving in the sweet, sentimental, romantic, and even humorous moments that reflect your relationship. My warm, calming presence and confident delivery ensure that your ceremony is not only well-organized but also deeply moving and memorable for everyone involved. Whether you envision a grand, traditional wedding, an intimate gathering in nature, or a simple, no-frills exchange of vows, I am here to make your vision a reality. I am flexible, creative, and committed to making your day about you-minimizing stress and maximizing joy. My greatest privilege is being invited to facilitate one of life’s most significant moments. I take pride in easing the pressure of wedding planning and creating a ceremony that you and your loved ones will cherish forever. Let’s work together to create a ceremony that is truly yours.
