I work with a small number of couples each year and put real time into every wedding I take on across Los Angeles.

How I work
The process
From first email to final gallery, here is what working with me looks like.
First email
You write me a few lines about the day. Where it is, when it is, how you found me. I usually reply within twenty four hours.
A call
Thirty minutes on the phone or on Zoom. I want to hear how the two of you met, what kind of day you are planning, and whether we are a good fit.
The proposal
I send a short proposal with two or three package options. No upsells, no fine print, no expiry dates on the pricing.
The day
I arrive early. I work quietly. I stay late if the day runs long. You will not have to think about me at all, which is the point.
The gallery
Edited photographs delivered in an online gallery within six weeks. You get full print rights and a download of every high resolution file.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What couples usually ask before they book.
Yes. I will travel for the right wedding. Anywhere in California is straightforward. Beyond that, I add travel costs to the package and I prefer to keep them on the invoice rather than fold them in. Most of my destination weddings end up in Big Sur, Joshua Tree, or Mexico City.
Usually between four hundred and six hundred edited frames for a full day. I edit every image I deliver. There is no extra charge for the gallery, the print release, or the high resolution files. You get everything I think is worth keeping, in two formats.
Most full day weddings include a second shooter who I have worked with for years. For shorter coverage or weekday elopements I usually work alone, which keeps the day quiet and the price a little lower. I will always tell you which setup I am quoting.
It does rain in Los Angeles, usually in February and March. I scout a covered backup location near your venue before the day so we have somewhere to go for portraits. Overcast light is actually some of the best light I get all year, so I do not consider rain a problem so much as a different plan.
