Your Trusted Arizona Photographer for Weddings & Portraits
As the owner and lead photographer of CG Photo and Design since 2002, I have dedicated my career to capturing lifes most meaningful moments through artistic photography. My work combines portraiture and photojournalism to preserve emotions and stories for weddings, families, high school seniors, and corporate clients. With over two decades of experience, I prioritize creating timeless heirlooms that reflect each clients unique personality and journey.

My approach includes using natural lighting, studio setups, and a second photographer for weddings to ensure every perspective is documented. Clients consistently commend the quality of our albums, personalized service, and ability to transform fleeting moments into lasting memories. Based in Chandler, Arizona, I serve the Phoenix metropolitan area and beyond, committed to excellence in every frame.
