Working Together
A photography experience designed around you: Whether you're the couple who can't wait to get in front of the camera or you're already saying, "We're going to be so awkward," take a deep breath. You don't have to know what to do. That's my job. From the moment we begin working together, I'll guide you with simple, natural direction that never feels stiff or overly posed. Instead of placing you into uncomfortable positions, I'll create opportunities for genuine connection, giving just enough guidance to help you feel confident while leaving room for the moments that matter most to unfold naturally.
The laughter after an inside joke.
The way your partner instinctively reaches for your hand.
The quiet glance that says everything without a single word.
My photography blends timeless, editorial-inspired portraiture with honest documentary storytelling, creating images that feel elevated, emotional, and unmistakably yours. The result is a gallery that captures not only how your wedding looked, but exactly how it felt.
The first step is simply reaching out through my contact form. We'll schedule a conversation to talk about your wedding, your vision, and what you're looking for in a photographer. Once you've selected the collection that's right for you, a signed contract and retainer officially reserve your date. From there, I'll be with you every step of the way—from planning your timeline to delivering a gallery you'll treasure for a lifetime.
How do we book you as our wedding photographer?
How long will it take to receive our wedding gallery?
How far in advance should we book?
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Do you help with our wedding timeline?
Do you photograph weddings outside of Santa Barbara?
Yes! One of the most valuable parts of working together is the planning that happens before your wedding day. I'll help create a photography timeline that makes the most of beautiful light, allows plenty of time for portraits, and ensures you can enjoy your day without feeling rushed. A well-planned timeline helps create a relaxed experience—and often leads to the most beautiful photographs.
I do, and I highly recommend them. Engagement sessions are a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other before your wedding day. You'll become comfortable in front of the camera, experience my approach to posing and direction, and walk away with beautiful photographs that celebrate this season of your life. They're also perfect for save-the-dates, wedding websites, and heirloom prints.
Absolutely. While I'm based in Santa Barbara, I photograph weddings throughout Montecito, Ojai, Santa Ynez, Solvang, Ventura, Malibu, and destinations across California and beyond. Whether you're planning a coastal celebration, a vineyard wedding, or a destination weekend, I'd love to hear more about your plans.
You'll receive a preview gallery shortly after your wedding so you can relive some of your favorite moments right away. Your full gallery is then carefully edited and delivered in a beautiful online gallery, where you can download high-resolution images, share them with family and friends, and order professional prints and heirloom albums.
Most couples reserve their wedding date between 9 and 18 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall weekends in Santa Barbara and California's Central Coast. If your wedding is sooner, don't hesitate to reach out—if I'm available, I'd be honored to be part of your day.
My style blends timeless, editorial-inspired portraiture with honest documentary storytelling. That means you'll receive beautifully composed portraits alongside the candid moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. I focus on true-to-life color, natural light whenever possible, and creating photographs that will feel just as meaningful decades from now as they do today. Whether I'm photographing a luxury estate wedding in Montecito or an intimate Santa Barbara courthouse ceremony, my approach remains the same: thoughtful, relaxed, and intentional.
