Do you shoot film or digital?
The majority of images are photographed in color and with digital cameras. I shoot some 35 mm black and white film and also use a Holga or a vintage camera for a different look to add to your collection. If you see a lot of black and white edits in my portfolio, it represents my personal taste. I love black and white photography and the timelessness of it. The majority of these images were captured originally digitally in color and later rendered b/w in the edit. To be precise: all digital files (which is the majority of what I photograph) are in color and edited and refined in post production true to color. Images that were shot on b/w film will be delivered as such as scans from the original negative in jpeg. Format.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, I do. I am located in Santa Barbara andI have been to many beautiful places and love to travel.
Are you available for Elopements?
Absolutely. Elopements have a special place in my heart.

Requesting a custom proposal
For every client, I offer a custom tailored proposal for your unique needs. After our initial conversation, we work closely to craft the perfect experience for you. Booking my services requires a mutually signed contract and a 25 % retainer to save the date and put your day on my calendar.
After the wedding
You will receive your entire collection of high resolution images with an extended copyright in a customized and password protected gallery. Depending on the season, the edit may take longer. The delivery time for your collection of images will be communicated to you specifically. Generally, the delivery date for an engagement, elopement or couples session is about 2 weeks and a wedding about 4 to 6 weeks. I believe in quality over quantity so I don't promise a certain amount of images. Every image in your final collection is carefully curated and edited before being delivered to you.
