My style is about capturing your unique love story through timeless and genuine story-driven images. I do this by utilizing a mix of journalistic and directed techniques, always looking for for those genuine moments that tell your story. I feel thatn my balance of capturing natural moments and creating opportunities for new moments provides the perfect combination for my couple's photographs.
My calendar can fill up pretty quickly so please book your event as soon as possible. If you are planning on a short time frame, please EMAIL ME to check availability!
I always bring at least one other photographer to photograph the entire day with me so nothing gets missed! I always ensure I am well-staffed to make sure that your wedding is captured impeccably and nothing is missed.
While you will recieve a "copyright release" of the images, allowing you to print and reproduce any of your images as you please, this does not mean you get the copyright. The copyright simpy means that I am the creator of the image, which cannot be sold or transfered.
The raw, unedited files are not available for viewing or purchase. This is very much like asking your caterer to give you the leftover ingredients used to make your dinner! The images selected for editing and final delivery reflect my very high standards. If I have not selected them, they do not get archived in the studio. Please rest assured that any images not delivered are truly outtakes! We do not eliminate photos for the sake of meeting a certain number of delivered images, so every viable image is edited carefully and delivered.
The images delivered to you are very loosely edited, taking out only "eyes closed", "flash didn't fire", "person walked in front of the lens" true outtakes. If there are a handful of images of you together with your mom laughing. for example, I'm going to include everything that isn't an absolute duplicate and so forth. The images not selected are not archived and therefore not available.
You recieve all the digital files to produce as many prints as you like. If you would like me to manage getting the prints for you, please contact me via email and we can discuss the details to produce the prints.
With the fresh, modern books I design, the images are printed directly onto the pages, much like in a coffee table book you'd buy at the bookstore. I strive to keep the designs clean and classic, creating a book that will be an heirloom for future generations. The preferred format size is 13"x10", wide landscape format.
Yes, I love to do engagement shots in fun places. Usually engagement sessions take place 2-3 months prior to the wedding event. There are a number of cool locations I've shot in Orange County, if you need any suggestions.
