The experience
01 · Inquiry
A short note from you, a short call from me within the week. We talk about the day you've planned — the places, the people, the feeling you're after. No pressure, no script.
Reply within 48 hours A twenty-minute call No obligation
02 · The proposal
A small PDF in your inbox a few days later. Three coverage options, everything included, no padding. If we're a fit, we sign and put down a deposit. If not, no hard feelings.
PDF within three days Everything itemized Deposit holds your date
03 · Engagement session
Optional, but often a good idea. An hour or two somewhere you already love — a walk through the city, a Sunday morning in your kitchen. Mostly: practice being photographed without an audience.
One to two hours Anywhere you love Included in most collections
04 · The day
I arrive before the nerves do, while the dress is still on its hanger and the light is soft and gray. I stay through the vows, the toasts, the first dance, the last song spilling into the dark. One photographer, two cameras, no fuss — three feet away when it matters, invisible when it doesn't.
Eight to ten hours Two cameras, always Three feet away when it matters
05 · Gallery + albums
A private gallery within four weeks, while the day is still close. Hand-bound linen albums, made in Italy, are optional and quietly encouraged. We work the edit together — every spread, every page.
Private full gallery Every frame, high-res Linen albums, made in Italy

Full details arrive in the proposal — three options, everything included.
How I work
No second shooter you didn't meet, no assistant in your photos. Just me, moving quietly through your day.
Film for the frames you'll hang on a wall. Digital for the moments I can't afford to miss. You get both.
I won't pose you into someone you're not. I'll put you somewhere good and let the day happen.
Before you ask
How many hours do you cover?
Most weddings need eight to ten. I'll tell you honestly if yours needs less — I'm not here to upsell hours you won't use.
Do we get the digital files?
Yes. Every edited frame, high-resolution, yours to print and keep. No drip-feed, no locked galleries.
How far ahead should we book?
I take a limited number of weddings each year. Most couples reach out nine to twelve months out; some sooner for peak dates.
Do you travel?
Gladly. I'm based in California and shoot nationwide. Travel beyond the state is quoted simply and transparently.
Film or digital?
Both, always. The mix is mine to judge on the day — you'll never have to choose.
