Wedding Photography & Film · Central Coast

Wedding coverage for couples who want a real record of the day — not a performance of it.

Documentary photography and cinematic wedding films for couples across San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, and the Central Coast. Every wedding is different. The approach stays the same: be present, stay out of the way, and capture what actually happens.

Every wedding is custom-quoted. I take a limited number of weddings each year.

The Approach

Honest coverage. Nothing staged that doesn't need to be.

Most photographers talk about being unobtrusive. I mean it. Portraits and family formals happen efficiently — they have to. The rest of the day, I'm in the margins: the getting-ready room, the quiet moment before the ceremony, the table where your grandparents are laughing. That's where the photographs that matter usually come from.

For couples who want a film as well — I build them around the actual day, not a template. The vows, the toasts, the moments in between. Set to music, edited to feel timeless rather than cinematic for its own sake.

I'm based in Arroyo Grande and serve the full Central Coast — San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, the wine country around Paso Robles, and venues from the beach to the hills. I'm also open to destination work with proper lead time.

What You Get

Full-day coverage, delivered as a complete gallery.

01
Full-day documentary coverage
From getting ready through the reception — as long as the day needs. No overtime surprises.
02
Edited photo gallery
Delivered privately via Pixieset. Curated for quality — the images that tell the story of the day, not duplicates.
03
Cinematic wedding film (add-on)
A 4–8 minute film built from the actual day — vows, speeches, quiet moments. Not a same-day-edit. Something made to hold up for decades.
04
Pre-wedding consultation
A conversation about the timeline, the venue, and what matters most to you both. Planning photography around how your day actually flows.

"He was professional, warm, and immediately put us at ease. I couldn't be happier with the results."

Simple from the first message to the final delivery.

01

Tell me your date, venue, and what you're looking for. I'll confirm availability and we'll set up a call — no quote sheet, just a conversation.
02
We plan the day together
Timeline review, venue walk-through (where possible), and a shared understanding of what matters most. Family formals list, golden hour plan, the whole picture.
03
I cover the day
Present without being in the way. Portraits done efficiently so you can actually enjoy your reception. Coverage through the end of the night.
04
You receive your gallery and film
Fully edited photos delivered to your private gallery. Film delivered separately — properly edited, not rushed.
