I'm here for it all! I want to know what makes you different, and I want to showcase that in your wedding photos.

Frequently Asked Question's
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
Most couples book their Los Angeles wedding photographer 12 to 18 months before the big day, especially for spring and fall weddings when demand peaks. Popular dates and venues fill fast, so if you just got engaged, this is one of the first calls worth making. Booking early also gives us time for a real Vibe Call and planning conversation instead of a rushed scramble.
The biggest difference is that couples get a photographer who acts like a bonus member of the wedding party, not just someone hired to take pictures. With 16 years of experience and 250+ weddings photographed, the focus stays on candid storytelling over posed, staged shots, with playful prompts instead of stiff direction. Couples consistently say the same thing: nobody had to ask them to smile.
We're not sure our wedding is the kind you photograph. Is that okay?
If you're picturing a non-traditional, colorful, or unconventional wedding, chances are it's exactly the kind of day this business exists for. Sixteen years of experience covers everything from bookish, fantasy-themed celebrations to large traditional-style weddings with a twist. Couples worried they're “too much” or “not traditional enough” tend to be the best fit, not the exception.
Are you experienced photographing LGBTQ+ weddings?
Yes, inclusive photography for LGBTQ+ couples is central to the business, not an afterthought. My work has been featured in Offbeat Wed, Inclusive Magazine, and Equally Wed. Couples of all kinds, queer, nerdy, quirky, neurodivergent, tattooed, are welcomed and celebrated exactly as they are. The goal is always for couples to feel comfortable enough that the camera disappears.
What if we don't like posing for photos?
That's actually common, and the whole approach is built around candid storytelling instead of forced posing. Playful prompts, like whispering your favorite vegetable to your partner, replace stiff direction, so the real personality comes through instead of a stressed smile. Most couples who dread being photographed end up saying it felt more like hanging out with a friend.
