My style is a combination of documentary and editorial. It is stylized, intentionally composed but always true to the moment. I spend most of the wedding day capturing events as they naturally unfold. There are some instances when I will offer my couples some guidance and creative direction to make them feel more at ease, comfortable and supported throughout the day - (lotsa jokes and goofy energy over here) But overall - my intention is for your photos and the moments captured within them, to remain earnest, organic and as real as possible. No fuss - no stress All you two have to do is BE YOU (which is magic) - I will do the rest.

Film is simply a timeless medium that is unaffected by the shifts and changes of evolving technology. I have been photographing with film for over 20 years and there is no denying its magic. The nostalgia, spontaneity and raw emotion it sincerely captures is unmatched. Digital photography is excellent and serves for swift flexibility, fast action and versatility when things move quickly. Each medium has its virtues - I offer digital packages, film only packages, OR a hybrid approach of equal parts digital + film and has become a client favorite; a harmonious blend of the two mediums.

YES! While I am based in Los Angeles I most DEFINITELY will travel for weddings - and infact it is one of the coolest parts of the job to be honest; consider me ultra stoked to venture out to your dream wedding location. And while not every destination is international - just know your girl is passport ready!!

I do offer Super 8mm film video as an additional service and I can’t recommend it enough! Ever since I have been shooting it, I am smitten! It is the chefs kiss in the way of authentic home video with an editorial spin - moments are super 8mm are incredible time capsules and true magic on a screen of any size.
That said, I also can recommend a number of any videographer teams that I adore and have worked with in the past should you want a more comprehensive video package and coverage of the day.

Just like people, every wedding is distinct and there are no two alike - so I don’t set a specific number of final images. Rather, I capture the day as it unfolds and watch your story play out when reviewing and editing your images (literally my favorite part is editing!) I am a firm believer in quality over quantity, but I also will include all the little details - don’t worry!
I CAN tell you that typically in an 8 hour wedding day my couples tend to receive anywhere between 500-750 final edited images and depending on your package, you will receive 40-200 analog film images; shot on 120mm + 35mm film.
As far as WHEN - You will receive a sneak peek within 1-3 days following your wedding, and your full gallery within 8-10 weeks following your event.

I accept checks, ACH deposit/wire transfer, venmo and credit cards (3% processing fee). Upon signing your agreement, a 50% retainer fee is due to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 14 days before your wedding.

You bet I will! I will work with you and any planning vendors (if you have any on board) to devise and customize the best timeline for photos that flows harmoniously with the day’s happenings. I will be here every step of the way - I got you friend!

YES to both! Each package includes a super easy to navigate online gallery where you can download all of your images in high resolution, and web size. From the online gallery you can order prints directly, or take your hi res files to your preferred print lab to get prints made.

Sometimes a wedding needs a bit more coverage than just me. You and your partner may be getting ready in different locations, or cocktail hour is scheduled at the same time as family portraits. I will bring on my awesome associate shooter to ensure no moment, no detail, no break out dance party is missed.

YES indeed, and I can provide a copy of my policy and/or COI whenever is required.
