Nope! I hate looking at a price and then it explodes by the time you’re ready to check out. I list all of my rates on my website to make it very easy to understand and build your photography budget. If travel is required I can give you a quote for the travel when we speak on the phone by simply looking up the travel needs required for your day. Nice and easy pricing, nothing hidden. What you see is what you get.

Yes. All weddings require a 5-hour minimum, which ensures enough time to capture the key moments of your day. If you require less hours for your wedding day (like an elopement, you can always use the 5 hours of coverage for us to go and do a fun wedding shoot together.

Absolutely. A second photographer can be added for a flat $1,000 for weddings in the United States This is especially helpful for larger weddings or multi-location timelines.

For weddings outside Southern California, travel expenses typically include:

• Airfare

• Ground transportation
  I always keep travel costs as reasonable and transparent as possible.

You’ll receive a minimum of 50 high-resolution, edited images per hour of coverage.

Most couples book 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates. If your date is sooner, reach out, there’s always a chance I’m available.

Every wedding is unique, but most couples book 6–10 hours of coverage.
Shorter events and elopements may need less, while full-day weddings often require more. I’m happy to help you build a timeline that fits your day. Typical start time is at least 1 hour prior to the scheduled starting time for the ceremony.

Your full wedding gallery is typically delivered within 2-4 weeks, depending on the season. Engagement sessions and pre-wedding shoots are delivered sooner.

Some of the most emotional and beautiful images happen during unexpected weather. I’m fully prepared to shoot in rain, fog, snow, wind, and everything in between, with backup gear and creative lighting to ensure your photos look incredible.

Protecting your images is a top priority. I photograph with dual memory cards, and immediately after your wedding, your images are backed up to multiple secure locations.

I have nearly 20 years of experience as a wedding photographer having shot my first wedding in March of 2007. I bring all of that experience to your wedding day to make it incredible.

I guide you when needed, especially during portraits, to help you look your best. But I also focus heavily on candid, natural moments to tell the full story of your day. And a lot of that depends on what you tell me YOU want. I am an expert at posing for those that want that look. For those who want candid imagery I love doing that as well. Most people want a mix. Whatever it is that you want or need I can provide that for you.

I welcome a list of family groupings and any special requests. For the rest of the day, I recommend trusting the flow and letting me capture the authentic moments as they happen.

I focus exclusively on photography, but I can recommend exceptional videographers if you need one.

My style is a blend of documentary storytelling, editorial portraits, and clean, true-to-life color. I aim for images that feel real, emotional, and timeless, not overly posed or artificial.

I deliver clean, vibrant, true-to-color edits that look beautiful today and decades from now. Skin tones are natural, highlights and shadows are balanced, and the overall look is timeless, not trendy or overly filtered.

I’m fully equipped to handle any lighting environment, including:

• Dark receptions

• Indoor ceremonies

• Harsh outdoor sunlight

• Night portraits

• Backlit or low-light situations

I use a combination of natural light, professional flashes, and continuous lighting to ensure every moment looks cinematic and well-lit.

I shoot on professional full-frame cameras, fast prime lenses, and backup bodies. My kit includes multiple cameras, flashes, batteries, memory cards, and lighting setups to ensure reliability and quality throughout the entire day.

I’ve photographed over 300 weddings worldwide, including at iconic locations such as Disneyland, the Sydney Opera House, Europe, Hawaii, and even a helicopter-access glacier wedding in Alaska. My experience allows me to stay calm, creative, and adaptable in any environment.

Yes absolutely. In my career I’ve shot a varied range of weddings for all diferent ethnicities, races, and religions. This has lead to me being able to understand and adapt to different scenarios and capture what is most important for my wedding clients.
