Who am I?

A man with long hair, a beard, glasses, and a beanie, looking at the camera in a dimly lit indoor setting.

I’m Kai.

I spent over a decade in the music industry working with artists like Bill Kelliher of Mastodon and Greg Bissonette of Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band, along with running sound for my church.

I found a passion for visual storytelling through traveling with my wife that ultimately led me to change careers and pick up a camera full-time.

I’m drawn to the weird, wild, and the human parts of life, and I’ve made it my mission to capture as much of that as I can. There’s no better place to do that than on your wedding day.

My background in music, entertainment, and media means I know how to read a room, move with the moment, and keep things feeling effortless—so you can relax, have a rad time on your wedding day, and just be present.

This is your day. You’re steering the ship—I’m your co-captain, making sure everything stays on course.

  • "Kai did videography and took some photos for our wedding. The end result was amazing! Very detailed, creative, and helpful to make sure we got exactly what we wanted for our photos and video!"

  • he effortlessly took responsibility off of me by taking over answering questions and directing others. When we ran low on time for photos, he made a suggestion on how to change the plan while still sticking to the core of my wants. His professionalism and creativity flowed seemingly throughout the day and shines in his work. My only regret is that he wasn’t our first shooter.
