The Process

  • Dream it

    Our journey begins with getting to know each other and talking about your vision for the big day. After our initial meeting, we can talk about contract details and final booking steps to secure your wedding date.

  • The Big Day

    With all preparations made, I am eager to capture every special moment that unfolds, quietly blending in to capture genuine candid moments while also directing as needed to craft a beautiful portrayal of your day and capture you at your best.

  • Lasting Memories

    You will receive a sneak peek within a week of your wedding day. I carefully curate and edit all photos before sending the final gallery within 6-12 weeks filled with cherished moments of your special day.

FAQs

  • Los Angeles wedding photographer prices typically range from $2,500 (newer photographers) to $15,000+ (top-tier established photographers). Most couples invest between $4,000–$12,000 for full-day coverage with an experienced professional.

    My wedding photography collections start at $3,995, reflecting over 200 weddings of experience across Southern California

  • Every collection includes:

    • 75-100+ professionally edited images per hour of coverage

    • Private online gallery with download and print rights

    • Timeline planning consultation to ensure we capture every moment

    • Sneak peek within 1 week, complete gallery in 6-12 weeks

    Optional add-ons: Engagement sessions, second photographer, film photography, heirloom albums.

  • I recommend booking 6-9 months in advance for peak season (April-October), and 3-6 months for off-season. I photograph 25-30 weddings per year and book on a first-come basis, so popular Saturday dates fill quickly.

  • Absolutely. Elopements and small celebrations have their own kind of beauty that is quiet, intentional, and deeply personal. I offer tailored coverage starting at $1495 for couples who want to celebrate their love intimately.

    Whether you're planning a sunrise ceremony in Joshua Tree or an intimate celebration in Big Sur, I'd love to document your story.

  • Documentary wedding photography captures your celebration as it authentically unfolds, without excessive posing or staging. By blending in the background, I can capture the spontaneous laughter, quiet tears, and unguarded glances. This approach creates images that feel like beautiful cinema stills: refined in composition, honest in emotion, and timeless in aesthetic.

  • Absolutely! I'm based in Los Angeles but love traveling for weddings throughout California and beyond. Travel within Southern California (Santa Barbara, Orange County, San Diego) is complimentary.

    For destinations outside Southern California, please refer to my Investment Guide for travel fee.

    If you're celebrating in one of my bucket list destinations, I'll waive my session fee entirely and you'll only cover travel expenses.

  • Yes! Booking requires a 30% retainer, with the remaining balance split into 2-3 installments. Final payment is due 2 weeks before your wedding.

    Example: For a $6,000 collection, you'd pay $1,800 at booking, then split the remaining $4,200 into manageable payments.

    I accept bank transfer, credit card, or check.
