Wedding packages
Three wedding collections and three shorter sessions, priced for the hours of coverage. Every collection includes professional editing of every viable photo and a private online gallery to view, download and share. I am based in Aptos, on the Santa Cruz coast, and photograph weddings across Santa Cruz County, Monterey and Carmel, Big Sur and the San Francisco Bay Area.
How to choose: count backward from the send-off. Most weddings want the photographer there about two hours before the ceremony, so a 4pm ceremony with a 10pm send-off is an eight-hour day. If you are between two collections, send me the timeline and I will tell you where the hours land. Extra wedding-day hours are $350 each, and a second photographer is available on request.

Engagement session
Seven hours covers getting ready through the first dances, with the engagement session beforehand so we have already worked together once before the wedding day.

The light does a lot of the work on a wedding day. The golden hour planner shows when it lands, and how the coastal fog tends to behave that time of year.
