Real moments, golden light, forever photos — wedding photography for sun-kissed coastlines, wide open country, and love that never needs directing.
Weddings shot the way they actually feel — a little chaotic, soulfully beautiful, full of in-between moments nobody planned for. No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just you, your people, and California light. Whether it's a vineyard hillside in Paso Robles, a bluff over Avila Beach, or the alleys of downtown SLO — I'm here for the laugh you didn't know you made, and the way he looked at you that no one else saw. Timeless images, zero pretense. Based on California's Central Coast, and equipped to travel for a destination wedding.

Wedding Photography FAQs
Do you travel outside San Luis Obispo County?
Travel is included within San Luis Obispo County. Weddings in Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Solvang, Big Sur, Carmel, Monterey, Santa Cruz, or further along the Central Coast may include a travel fee, which I'll always quote upfront before you book.
What if it rains or the weather doesn't cooperate?
Central Coast weather is usually quite mild, but I always have a backup plan. I'll work with you and your planner ahead of time to identify indoor or covered backup locations so your timeline stays stress-free no matter what the sky does.
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
Central Coast wedding season (May–October) books up quickly, especially for Paso Robles vineyard venues and Santa Barbara coastal weddings. I recommend booking 9–14 months in advance for peak season dates, though I'm always happy to check availability for shorter-notice weddings and elopements.
What's your payment schedule?
A minimal retainer is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due by the end of the wedding day. I can walk you through the exact schedule for your chosen package during your consultation.
How many photos will we receive, and how long does delivery take?
Delivery timelines and gallery sizes vary by package (see above). A sneak peek gallery can be priced as an add-on — a 50-image gallery that can be delivered within 48 hours of your wedding so you don't have to wait to relive the day.
Can we customize a package?
Absolutely. Every Central Coast wedding is different, and these packages are a starting point. Reach out with your date, venue, and vision, and I'll put together a personalized quote.
Do you photograph elopements and micro-weddings?
Yes. I specialize in intimate elopements, micro-weddings, and alternative formats. Pricing can be adjusted to your specific event.
Do you offer bridal boudoir or fashion editorial sessions?
Yes. I am an advocate for documenting beauty at any and every phase of life. Elegant bridal boudoir is available as an add-on or standalone session for brides who want a private, empowering gift for their partner (or simply for themselves). Sessions are tailored to your comfort level — from fashion oriented to soft and romantic silhouettes to more intimate portraits. Your privacy is a priority: images are stored securely, never shared publicly or used in portfolio/marketing materials without your explicit written consent. Hair and makeup artists, and wardrobe stylists are also available as add-ons. Sessions are shaped around what feels right for you.
