About Me
I am San Francisco Bay Area wedding photographer. Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, but for the longest time, I didn't have the courage to turn it into my dream career. However, once I took that leap, I found myself unable to stop creating and uncovering beauty in every precious moment shared with lovely couples and families.
Celebrating love through my lens brings me immense joy, and I'm here to capture the most wonderful adventures of your life.
My Why
I didn’t start photography because I wanted to be a photographer.
I started because I didn’t want moments to disappear.
In 9th grade, all I had was an old smartphone - the kind that struggled with light and left pixels everywhere. But none of that mattered. What mattered was the feeling. I was drawn to real expressions, quiet connections, the way people looked when they forgot they were being seen. I printed those photos, held them in my hands, and built small albums of my favorite people and moments. Even then, I understood that photographs weren’t about perfection. They were about remembering.
Over the years, as I found my way into wedding photography, that purpose became clearer.
I’m not interested in making people look different.
I care about showing them as they truly are - especially in moments of happiness, relief, and love. When someone feels safe, present, and unguarded, they become effortlessly beautiful.
That’s what I photograph.
Not poses.
Not trends.
But the quiet truth of how it felt to be there.
Where I’m From
Hailing from the mountainous landscapes of Kyrgyzstan(Central Asia), my journey brought me to New York City back in 2014. Fast forward to 2019, my family and I made the exciting decision to settle down in the lively and diverse San Francisco Bay area. The enchanting beauty and cultural diversity of San Francisco never fail to mesmerize us, and our love for this remarkable place continues to grow each passing day.
Who I Love
Next to me is my incredibly supportive husband, Mirlan. His unwavering support, encouragement, and love are simply remarkable. We're blessed with tree wonderful kids, who bring so much joy to our lives. Our days are filled with adventures - whether it's exploring farmer's markets, hiking trails, or simply tackling household chores together, we cherish every moment as a family.
My Hobbies
My hobbies revolve around creating handmade beauty in everything I do. From knitting and crochet to tending to my garden, styling house interiors, nurturing houseplants and baking, I find joy in making everything around me not perfectly flawless, but rather charming and heartwarming.
