About
Hello — I'm so glad you're here.
I’m a wedding and family photographer based in Temecula, photographing throughout San Diego, Orange County, and the whole of Southern California. My work lives somewhere between fine art and documentary — carefully composed, but never staged stiff.
On a wedding day, I’ll be the calm presence in the corner of the room — finding the light, anticipating the moment, and letting you stay entirely inside your day. Most couples tell me they forgot I was there. I take that as the highest compliment.
“Years from now, the photographs are what remain. I want yours to feel true.”
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me chasing golden hour in the vineyards, printing far too many photographs, and planning slow mornings with good coffee.
A Temecula wedding and family photographer, in practice
Being a Temecula wedding and family photographer means knowing this valley’s light — the way it turns honey-colored over the vineyards an hour before sunset, and how the marine layer softens coastal mornings in San Diego. I plan every timeline around that light, so your portraits happen at the day’s most beautiful minutes.
My approach stays the same whether I’m photographing a two-hundred-guest estate wedding or a newborn at home in Murrieta: arrive early, stay curious, direct gently, and never manufacture a moment that wasn’t already there. The photographs that make people cry ten years later are almost never the posed ones.
Between weddings you’ll find me photographing families, maternity sessions and celebrations across Riverside and San Diego counties. Availability for the coming season is limited to a small number of weddings, so reaching out early is always wise. If my work feels like your day, I’d love to hear your story.
Clients often describe the experience as calm, easy and unhurried — which is exactly how wedding photography in Temecula should feel, from the first email to the final album on your shelf.
