01
Me, every time.
I photograph every wedding myself, with a second photographer at my side. No associates, no "your photographer will be assigned." One wedding per date and a limited number each year, so your day gets all of me.
Investment · Los Angeles wedding & portrait photography
The photos you'll still be looking at in fifty years.
Not a stack of files. Not a number of hours. The way your mom laughed during the toasts, the second right before you saw each other, the dance floor at 11pm when everyone stopped caring who was watching. That's what you're investing in.
What you're actually investing in
More than hours on a pricing sheet
Almost any photographer can promise you six or eight hours. Here's what's different when it's me behind the camera.
02
A filmmaker's eye.
I studied cinema and worked in film before weddings. I think in light, story and moments, not poses, so your gallery reads the way your day felt.
03
Calm in the chaos.
Ten-plus years and more than a hundred weddings. I've seen timelines slip, rain roll in and rings go missing, and I know how to keep the day moving without anyone noticing.
04
Your photos, protected.
Former Boy Scout, still living by "Be Prepared." Backup cameras, backup cards, and your images kept safe in more than one place from the moment we leave the venue.
"To be able to relive that day through these images is the greatest gift we have ever been given."
Lauren J. · Wedding, 2022

Good to know
Questions about investment
Why not go with someone cheaper?
Honestly, you might find someone great for less, and I'd rather you book the right person than book me. What you're paying for here is the part you won't see in a gallery: knowing where to stand before the moment happens, keeping a slipping timeline calm, and making sure nothing gets lost. You get one shot at your wedding day, and I take that personally.
Can a collection be tailored to our day?
Yes. Every collection is a starting point. Planning a shorter day, a second location or something a little different? We'll shape it together on a quick call, and you can also build a custom quote right here.
How do payments work?
A 30% retainer reserves your date when we both sign the contract (50% for the Lovelace Weekend). The rest is due a week before your day, and you're welcome to pay it off in smaller pieces any time before then. Nothing is charged until you've decided.
Next step
Let's see if we're a fit
Fifteen minutes, no pressure. I'll answer your questions, help you figure out which collection makes sense, and if your date is still open, I'll hold it for you while you decide.
