I’m a San Diego and Temecula wedding photographer who believes the best moments aren’t
staged — they’re felt. From getting ready to the final dance, I document your day with
intention, calm guidance, and an eye for the real emotion that makes it yours.
When you book with me, you work directly with me from beginning to end. No associates.
No hand-offs. Just consistency.
Before I ever shot a wedding, I spent 14 years running security and assisting with large events at the San Diego Maritime Museum. My job was to stay calm when a few hundred people and many moving parts were depending on me to keep things running smoothly.
Turns out that’s the exact skill set a wedding needs.
A wedding day is a high-stakes, fast-moving event with one shot to get it right. While other
photographers might get flustered when the timeline slips or the rain rolls in, I’ve spent over
a decade staying composed in exactly those moments.
That calm is the thing couples tell me they remember most — that I made a chaotic day feel handled.
I picked up a camera in 2018, started booking weddings in 2021, and haven’t looked back.
Today I’m a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), shooting
weddings, engagements, proposals, and events across Southern California.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me chasing the Milky Way out in Anza-
Borrego, wrenching on one of my vehicles, or cooking something ambitious. I’m based in
the San Diego / Temecula area, and I’ll happily travel for the right wedding.

Whether you’re getting married on the San Diego coast or in Temecula wine country, tell me
about your day — I read and reply to every message myself.
Calm direction, not awkward posing
Simple prompts + micro-adjustments so you look natural and confident.
Documentary moments + cinematic portraits
Real emotion, real storytelling — with portraits that feel timeless.
A smooth timeline and a stress-free flow
I help you plan for light, breathing room, and the moments you actually care about.
One photographer from start to finish
You get me for communication, shooting, and editing — consistent style and personal attention.
One photographer. One vision. Your entire story.
From communication to shooting to editing, everything stays consistent.
If you’re looking for a Southern California Wedding Photographer who can help the day feel calm, natural, and beautifully documented, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
