How it works
The experience
Booking a photographer shouldn't feel like a transaction. Here's what working together actually looks like, from first hello to the day your gallery lands.

Start to finish
Send me a note with your date and what you're dreaming up. We'll hop on a call or grab a coffee and see if we click.
A signed agreement and a deposit hold your date. From there, I'm in your corner for timelines, locations, and the nervous texts.
We make the pictures. My job is to keep it loose and warm so you forget the camera's there and just be with your people.
You get a sneak peek within a week, then a full hand-edited gallery you can download, print, and share forever.
Investment
Starting points below. Every couple is different, so your full guide is custom. Just reach out.
Travel beyond Southern California is always welcome. Let's talk logistics.
Good to know
For weddings, six to twelve months is typical, though I take last-minute dates when they're open. Sessions usually book two to four weeks out. The honest answer: reach out and I'll tell you what's free.
Happily. I'm based in Southern California, but I've photographed couples up and down the coast and beyond. Travel is quoted simply and transparently in your guide.
Light, warm, and true to color. I edit every image by hand, with no heavy filters or trendy presets that'll look dated in a year. The goal is that your photos still feel like you decades from now.
A sneak peek lands within a week so you have something to share right away. Full galleries are delivered in four to six weeks for sessions and six to eight weeks for weddings.
You're in good company. Almost everyone says this. My whole approach is built around it. A little direction, a lot of comfort, and we make pictures of you actually enjoying each other.
Ready when you are
Send me your date and the shape of your day. I'll put together something made just for you.
