Three collections, shaped around how much of the day you want kept. A full wedding day is eight hours with two photographers, at $4,500.
Every collection carries the same planning, the same guidance, and the same care in the edit. What changes is how much of the day is kept, and how many cameras are keeping it.
For a day that ends early. The ceremony, the portraits, the toasts, and the people closest to you, with both of us there for all of it.
Getting ready through the dancing, with a second photographer beside me for every part of it.
For a wedding that starts early and ends late. Two photographers, from the first quiet hour to the last song.
Sacramento and the Bay Area are part of every collection. For Tahoe, Yosemite, the coast and farther out, travel is quoted with the collection.
A relaxed call, a timeline we build between us, and clear next steps before the day.
Small prompts when you want them, and room to be present when you do not.
Every photograph you receive is edited individually. No filters, and no gallery padded with near duplicates.
High resolution photographs, no watermarks, personal print rights, and a gallery that stays yours.
I photograph a wedding the way a good film remembers its favourite scene. Honest light, and the seconds nobody planned.
You will not be posed. I give small prompts, then I step back and wait. Most couples forget I am there by the middle of the day, and that is when the photographs start to be worth keeping.
I read every inquiry myself, and I reply within two business days.
Tell me your date and a little about the day. I reply within two business days with availability.
A call, about half an hour. We walk through the shape of the day, the light, and which collection actually fits it.
A signed agreement and a retainer hold it. Nothing else is needed until closer to the day.
A timeline we build between us, so nobody is guessing on the morning of the wedding.
A first small set within a couple of days. The full gallery on a date you already know.
The eight hour Story. It reaches from getting ready through the first dances, which is the shape of most wedding days. Six hours suits a compact celebration that ends early. Ten hours is for days that start before sunrise or run to a late send-off.
One camera cannot be in two rooms. While I am with you, the second photographer is with your partner, at the back of the aisle, and in the room you are not in. We come as two on every wedding, so this is not something you have to buy.
A signed agreement and a retainer. Dates are held in the order they come in, and I do not hold one without both. The balance is due before the wedding.
Sacramento and the Bay Area are part of every collection. For Tahoe, Yosemite, the coast and farther out, travel is quoted with the collection, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
A small set within a couple of days, while you are still in it. The full gallery follows on a date you know before the wedding.
Around five hundred for an eight hour day, more for ten. Every one is finished by hand. I do not send unedited files, and I do not pad a gallery with the same frame five times.
Hours can be added at $350 each, up to two, and it can be decided on the day itself. Nobody has to make that call months in advance.
Almost every couple tells me this. You will not be posed. I give small prompts and then step back, and by the middle of the day most people forget I am there.
Two smaller collections, for the season before the wedding and for a day without a reception.
For the yes, the celebration after, and a relaxed session that feels like the two of you. Included with the eight and ten hour collections.
For city hall vows and quiet ceremonies outdoors, with a handful of people or none at all. For a wedding with a reception, see the collections above.
No two days run the same way. If yours does not fit one of these three, tell me what you are planning and I will shape the coverage around it. Multi-day celebrations and destination weddings are quoted on their own.
Want to see the work first? Full wedding days, elopements and engagement sessions. If you are still deciding, this is what I would ask a photographer.
Tell me your date and a little about the day. I reply within two business days.
