More about me

My name is Paul Bartels; I'm a photographer based out of Southern California who specializes in photographing intimate weddings and elopements. With over 20 years of experience, I still find it an honor to document these important milestones in people's lives. I'm married with children, We live in Winchester, California. My wife helps me at most of the events I do. I believe in capturing real moments, and for me, that starts with setting my couple at ease in front of the camera. I've always had a very laid-back personality and I pride myself on making your day as relaxed and easy-going as possible. Nothing makes me happier than exploring breathtaking scenery and chasing beautiful light with fun couples, all while having an amazing time together. I want every image to remind you not only of how amazing you looked that day but also of the joy and happiness you felt. It's important to me that you have fun, enjoy the time spent together, and that you love your photos.
