"Capturing Weddings and Families in Temecula Wine Country."

The Experience You Can Trust

  • 20+ Years Behind the Lens: With over two decades of experience and hundreds of weddings captured, I bring a calm, professional presence to your big day.

  • Top-Rated Service: My commitment to quality has earned over 140 five-star reviews on The Knot and WeddingWire. You aren’t just hiring a photographer; you’re hiring peace of mind.

Master of Natural Light

  • The Temecula Glow: I specialize in utilizing the unique Southern California light—from golden hour sunbeams to dramatic vineyard shadows—to make your portraits look ethereal and timeless.

  • Detail-Oriented: While I capture the big emotions, I never miss the small things—the lace on the dress, the table settings, and those quiet, fleeting interactions.

Professionalism Meets Affordability

  • High-End Art, Fair Pricing: I believe every couple deserves world-class wedding photography. I offer flexible, affordable packages without ever compromising on the quality of your final gallery.

  • Fast Turnaround: You shouldn't have to wait months to relive your wedding. I prioritize a professional workflow so you can share your memories while the magic is still fresh.
