Weddings
One long day that goes faster than anyone warns you about. I photograph it the way it actually felt.

Who this is for
Couples who'd rather live the day than pose through it.
Big wedding, small wedding, a courthouse and a good dinner after. I don't have a preferred size. What I care about is which version of the day you want to keep.
So I stay out of the way for most of it. The look you give each other while the officiant is still talking. Your mom fixing something on your dress that didn't need fixing. Whoever cries first, and it's never the one you'd guess. Those are the frames you'll come back to.
The one part I do run is family photos. Hand me the list and I'll get through it quickly so you can go back to your own party.
Coverage
Three shapes, and a second shooter on every one of them. If your day doesn't match any of these, tell me and we'll build the one that fits.
Film runs alongside any of it. A highlight film, or a feature that keeps your vows and toasts whole. You can also book photo and film together, one team on both, so the two halves look like the same day.
The work
Southern California, mostly. I go where the day is.
Before the wedding
Twenty-five minutes or forty-five, somewhere that means something to you or somewhere that just looks good in low sun. Joshua Tree at golden hour is my happy place, but I'll follow you to your kitchen.
It doubles as a rehearsal. You find out what I'm like with a camera up, I find out how you two are with each other, and nobody's stiff on the wedding day. The Wedding Day collection includes a mini session and The Full Story includes a full one. You can add one to anything else.

The first four come with every wedding. The rest you choose.
A small set lands within a week, while you're still away or still on the couch answering texts.
Every frame hand-edited by me. Light, warm, true to color. No heavy filters and no preset that'll look dated by your first anniversary.
Download the whole gallery, print what you want, send it to whoever asks for it.
Included in every wedding collection. Two of us covers the aisle and your face at the same time.
Highlight or feature, delivered in six to eight weeks, with a vertical cut so you can actually share it.
Real analog stills shot on film stock and developed at a lab, woven into your gallery. Big negatives, soft falloff, no filter pretending.
I run the photo timeline. The family list, golden-hour timing, keeping the group shots moving. It's the extra people add most.
A hand-designed printed album from your gallery, and an additional photographer for the biggest days.
Good to know
For weddings, six to twelve months is typical. I do take last-minute dates when they're open, so ask before you assume. Send me your date and I'll tell you what's free.
Happily. I'm based in Southern California and available worldwide. Travel gets quoted plainly inside your guide, so telling me the venue up front is the easiest way to get it right.
Yes, in every wedding collection. For a bigger day you can add a third photographer, which buys you one more angle on every vow.
A sneak peek within a week. The full wedding gallery in six to eight weeks. Films also run six to eight weeks.
Yes. Medium format film photography is shot on actual film stock and developed by a lab, not a digital filter. It's an add-on to any collection because it's genuinely a different craft.
It depends on the day, so I don't publish a menu that would be wrong for most people. Build a guide on the experience page and I'll send yours back with real numbers, usually within a day or two.
Ready when you are
Add the venue and how much of the day you want covered, and I'll take it from there.
