Southern California Wedding Photographer

Serving San Diego, Temecula and Riverside counties

I make life look like art.

I learned composition from music — alone in a room with a bass and a ukulele, figuring out how to make one person look like a stage. As a **wedding photographer in San Diego**, I don't capture moments. I compose crescendos. I find the rhythm in your glance, the bass drop in your first dance, the electricity in the spaces between the poses. Your wedding isn't a checklist. It's a performance. And I'm not there to record it — I'm there to conduct it.

I'm for couples who can't keep their hands off each other during cocktail hour. Who dance like the floor owes them money. Who treat their wedding like the main event of their lives, not a corporate luncheon with a cake. As an engagement photographer in San Diego, I shoot the sand in your hair and the salt on your lips — the messy, obsessed stuff. And as a proposal photographer in La Jolla, I know the tide, the light, and the exact second that ring box comes out. You won't see me. But the photo of the yes — the ugly-cry, world-stops yes — will be the first thing you see when you come up for air. I don't document love stories. I compose them.

WHAT I SHOOT

More Than Weddings

Beyond weddings, I'm always open to portraits, headshots, and family sessions — as well as event photography for corporate gatherings, nonprofit functions, and private celebrations. With 14 years of experience running security and large-scale events before becoming a full-time photographer, I know how to move through a crowd, anticipate moments, and deliver images that tell the full story.

You're my couple if:

You can't keep your hands off each other during cocktail hour

You want to make out in the photo booth, not just smile

You believe your wedding is the main event of your life, not a corporate luncheon with a cake

You want your photos to look like art, not a checklist

You're not my couple if:

You want a photographer who just shows up and hopes for the best

You're more worried about Aunt Carol's comfort than your own joy

You think the wedding is a performance for your guests



If your love is the golden ticket, I'm your Willy Wonka.

Every image is composed like a stage. I learned that from music, not a posing guide.

I didn't learn photography in a classroom. I learned it trying to film myself playing bass and ukulele in my bedroom — setting up the camera, running back and forth, figuring out composition and timing because I had to. I learned negative space from music. I learned rhythm from chord progressions. I learned patience from practice.

Your wedding isn't a checklist of poses to tick off. It's a composition. And I treat it like one.

I believe great photography should be accessible. Wedding photography packages start at $1,800, with options for full-day coverage, engagement add-ons, and proposal sessions. Every package includes edited, high-resolution images delivered through a private online gallery.
