Wedding Photography · Greater Sacramento & the Sierra Foothills

Wedding photography in Greater Sacramento and the Sierra foothills

Your wedding day moves fast, and most of it happens once. I photograph it the way it actually unfolds, so years from now your gallery still reads like the day you remember, not a set of poses you sat through.

I work documentary-first, with as much direction as you want and none that you don't. If posing makes you stiff, you'll barely notice me. If you want a proper portrait set with your families, you'll get all the time it needs. The day stays yours. I just keep it.

Most of what makes a wedding easy happens before the day. We talk through the timeline, the people who matter, and the moments you can't miss, so when it's happening I'm already in the right place. You get to be in your wedding instead of running it.

There's an analog option too. A few rolls of real film woven through the day, for the grain and color a screen can't fake. It lives alongside your digital gallery, never instead of it.

What's included

  • Up to 8 hours of coverage on the wedding day
  • Engagement session (optional, recommended)
  • High-resolution, professionally edited gallery
  • Online proofing & print store via Pic-Time
  • Print release for personal use

Common questions

Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. I'm based in the Sierra Nevada foothills and cover the Greater Sacramento region as home ground, from foothill vineyards to downtown venues. I travel for the right wedding beyond that too, with travel quoted plainly up front.
What does wedding coverage start at?
Wedding collections start at $2,995. The three collections and what each includes are laid out on the investment page, with multi-day, destination, and elopement coverage quoted to fit your day.
How long until we get our photos?
Your edited gallery arrives in two to three weeks through Pic-Time, ready to share, download, and print from a lab I trust. Peak-season weddings can run a little longer, and I tell you the timeline up front.
Can we add film to a digital collection?
Yes. The analog commission is an add-on to any wedding collection, from a couple of curated rolls to a comprehensive film archive. The film options live on the investment page.
We hate having our photo taken. Is that a problem?
Not at all, and most couples feel that way, me included. My job is to make the day easy so you can forget the camera is there. You can be a little awkward. That is allowed, and it never makes it into the gallery.

Have a date in mind?

Tell me what you're planning. You'll hear back within a day.
