Experience
How it works
1. Connect & Discover
We begin with a personal consultation—whether over coffee or a call—to discuss your vision, the rhythm of your day, and how we can best document your story. This is our time to ensure our approach aligns seamlessly with your expectations.
2. Plan & Prepare
As soon as your retainer is secured, our collaboration officially begins. From crafting a thoughtful wedding day timeline and offering trusted vendor recommendations to answering any questions along the way, I am here as a dedicated resource to ensure the planning process remains completely effortless. If your package includes an engagement session, we will also schedule that ahead of time so you feel entirely comfortable in front of the lens before the wedding day.
3. Capture & Deliver
On the wedding day, my presence is calm, attentive, and entirely documentary-focused—letting moments unfold organically while using refined, low-pressure guidance for portraits. Your completed work is delivered through a private online gallery, featuring high-resolution digital images and timeless 35mm film scans.
Your Story, Told With Intention and Care
Your wedding day moves fast, but the memories shouldn't feel like a blur. By keeping the process intentional, collaborative, and entirely unhurried, we ensure your story is captured honestly—preserving not just how everything looked, but how it actually felt.
FAQ
How do we secure our wedding date?
To officially reserve your date on the calendar, a signed agreement and retainer are required. Because I limit the number of weddings I take on each year to ensure undivided attention for every couple, dates are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.
What is your photographic style and approach?
My approach is rooted in documentary storytelling. Rather than relying on stiff, traditional poses, I focus on genuine emotion, quiet details, and the unscripted atmosphere of your day. I use gentle, organic prompts for portraits to keep things feeling natural, allowing you to stay fully present with each other and your guests.
Do you travel for destination weddings and elopements?
Yes. While based in Southern California, I frequently travel for weddings and elopements both locally and worldwide. Custom travel coordination is integrated directly into destination proposals to ensure a seamless experience.
How long does the editing and delivery process take?
You can expect a curated collection of sneak peek highlights within a few days of your wedding, with the complete, fully edited gallery delivered within 6 to 8 weeks. Every image is hand-edited with careful attention to color, tone, and archival quality.
Can we order fine art prints and custom albums through you?
Yes. Every gallery includes access to a professional print store integrated directly into your online gallery. For a more permanent keepsake, I also offer bespoke heirloom albums crafted through premier binderies to preserve your wedding story for generations.
Do you provide a second shooter?
Yes. Most full-day wedding collections include a second photographer to ensure every angle, candid reaction, and simultaneous moment is captured seamlessly throughout the day.
