About this work
Weddings demand presence.
I shoot in pairs when timeline allows. One photographer with you, one capturing the moments you're not in. The edit favors story over symmetry. You get the candid laughs and the quiet seconds, not just the posed lineups.
I've documented over 200 events for a community of ten thousand. The same eye that watches a quiet hand-hold during a vow goes into your day. Photography is how I pay attention.

What's included
What's included with every wedding.
Standard across all wedding packages. Custom add-ons available for destination weddings or extended coverage.
Discovery call to align on creative direction, timeline, and key moments. I read the brief, then we talk it through.
Available as an add-on. Get comfortable in front of the camera before the day.
I help you build a realistic timeline that respects the day. No rushing, no shot lists, no stiff poses.
Available on full-day packages. One with you, one capturing the moments you're not in.
10–15 hand-picked images delivered within 24 hours so you can share immediately.
Every image hand-edited. No auto-presets. The edit favors story over symmetry.
Private password-protected gallery for sharing and downloading full-resolution files. Yours forever.
Full edited gallery in 4–6 weeks. I'll give you a clear timeline upfront.

Deliver the work
Sneak peeks within 48 hours. Full edited gallery in 4–6 weeks. We celebrate it together.
Before you book, a few things worth knowing.
The questions I get asked most. If yours isn't here, send it through the contact form. Happy to walk through anything.
Photo galleries deliver in four to six weeks. Wedding films deliver in six to eight weeks. You'll get a teaser of ten to fifteen favorite frames within forty-eight hours so you have something to share right away.
No. The edit is half the work. Raw files don't represent the final image and they don't represent how the work is meant to be seen. You'll receive high-resolution edited JPEGs with a print release.
Yes. I send a detailed timeline questionnaire sixty days out and we build the photo and video timeline together. I've shot a hundred plus events. I know how the day flows.
A fifty percent non-refundable retainer locks the date. The balance splits into payments that finish two weeks before the wedding. No fees for splitting. Card or bank transfer.
Yes. San Diego is home base. — 60-mile radius from San Diego: included (covers SD County, Temecula, southern OC) — 60–120 miles (LA, Palm Springs): mileage at federal rate — 120–180 miles (Santa Barbara, Bakersfield): mileage + 1-night accommodation — 180+ miles or fly-required: itemized travel quote — International / destination weddings: custom quoted
Yes. Photo-only and video-only are both available. The hybrid package exists because hiring two separate teams usually means they don't talk to each other and the day suffers. One team that does both keeps things calm.
Two to four, depending on the package. Always at least two on the ceremony — one wide on the couple, one tight on faces during vows.
Lavalier on the officiant, lavalier on the groom, a feed from the DJ board, and a backup recorder. Most wedding films you've watched online have unusable audio in the second half. Ours don't, because we engineered it that way going in.
Both. Every wedding package includes a full edited ceremony cut plus a cinematic highlight film. Toasts and full reception edits scale up by tier.
Yes. Drone is included in The Covenant and The Legacy tiers, and available as an add-on for The Vow where venue permits flight.
