The experience · Los Angeles wedding photography

Less posing.
More living.

From the first hello to the album on your coffee table, here's what working together actually looks like, and why couples tell me it felt more like hanging out with a friend than being photographed.

On the day

Directed when you need it. Invisible when you don't.

01

Gentle direction

Never stiff, never "say cheese." I give you something to do, not a pose to hold, so the photos look like you on your best day.

02

A storyteller's eye

The glance across the aisle, your grandma on the dance floor, the details you spent months choosing. I'm watching for all of it.

03

Calm in the chaos

Timelines slip and it sometimes rains. I keep the day moving and the mood light, so you can stay present with your people.

From hello to heirloom

How it works

01

Say hello

Check your date and you'll know in seconds if I'm free, with your investment guide right there. Questions? I reply to every message within a day.

02

Let's talk

A relaxed call or coffee to hear your story, your vision and the moments that matter most.

03

Make it official

A simple online contract and retainer, and your date is locked in.

04

Engagement session

A chance to get comfortable in front of my camera, and some photos for your save-the-dates.

05

Plan the day

A detailed questionnaire and help building a photo-friendly timeline, so nothing gets missed.

06

The big day

You enjoy it. I take care of the rest, from getting ready to the last dance. I photograph every wedding myself and only one a day, so your day gets all of me.

07

Sneak peeks

A handful of favorites within a week, perfect for sharing while the day is still fresh.

08

Your gallery

Your full, hand-edited gallery online, ready to download, share and print, with an heirloom album if you like.

Step one takes two minutes. Tell me your date and you'll know in seconds if it's open.

The No-Strings Start

Meet me first. Decide after.

Booking a wedding photographer shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. Start with an engagement session and I'll hold your wedding date while we shoot. You'll see exactly how we work together, and how your photos look, before you make a single wedding payment.

Ask about the No-Strings Start

  1. 1

    Book your session

    Book an engagement session at the wedding-couple rate. That's the only payment, and I hold your wedding date from the day you book.

  2. 2

    Shoot and see

    We do your session together within 45 days, and you get your finished gallery.

  3. 3

    Then decide

    You have a week after your gallery arrives. Love it? Sign your wedding contract and your session fee counts toward your retainer. Not the right fit? Walk away, keep your photos, and owe nothing more.

Your session takes place within 45 days of booking it. If another couple asks for your date while it's on hold, I'll give you 48 hours to sign or let it go. The session price stays the same whether you book the wedding or not, and nothing is charged for the wedding until you've signed.

Good to know

Questions couples ask

How far in advance should we book?
<p>Most couples reach out 9 to 15 months before the wedding, and popular Saturdays in spring and fall go first. That said, I've booked plenty of weddings with just a few months' notice, so it's always worth checking your date.</p>
Do you travel for weddings?
<p>Yes! I'm based in Los Angeles and regularly shoot across Southern California, from Santa Barbara to San Diego and out to the desert. I'm happy to travel farther for destination weddings and elopements, too. Just tell me where.</p>
How many photos will we get?
<p>It depends on your coverage and how much is happening, so I don't set a hard number. You'll get every good moment, carefully chosen and edited, without dozens of near-duplicates.</p>
When will we see our photos?
<p>You'll get a handful of sneak peeks within a week, and your full gallery follows a few weeks after that. I'll give you an exact turnaround when we book.</p>
Will you help us plan our timeline?
<p>Absolutely. I'll help you build a photo-friendly timeline that leaves room for golden hour, family photos and time to actually enjoy your day, and I'm happy to coordinate with your planner or venue.</p>
Can we print and share our photos?
<p>Yes. Every gallery comes with a print release, so you can print, frame and share your photos however you like. You can also order prints and albums straight from your gallery.</p>
We're awkward in front of the camera. Is that okay?
<p>That's most people, and it's exactly why I don't do stiff posing. I'll give you simple prompts and things to do, and you'll forget the camera is there within a few minutes. Your engagement session is a great warm-up.</p>
What happens if it rains?
<p>We make it work, and it's often beautiful. I bring clear umbrellas and lighting, and I'll scout covered spots at your venue ahead of time. Some of my favorite photos have come from rainy days.</p>
