What is your photographic style?

Being a true photojournalist I shoot with a combination of photojournalism. I don’t run your wedding or ruin it with long set-ups or stiff poses. Above all, I never harass your guests with posed table shots. We do work that is timeless.

Will you travel to photograph a wedding?

Yes, I have vast travel experience and an extensive network of contacts worldwide to ensure your photography is the best, regardless of where it is.

Are you the actual day-of photographer?

I am the primary shooter to every event I book. You hire me, I photograph your wedding.

Will I need more then one photographer?

We recommend a 2nd photographer if you have over 130 guests. Weddings are often fast paced and spontaneous, truly memorable events happen simultaneously at different locations. The 2nd photographer offers not only another perspective, but also extensive coverage.

Do you shoot in black and white?

Yes I shoot in Black & White. I actually see the shot in Color or BW, before I take it.

What is your experience with wedding photography?

I have been shooting weddings since 2002.

Do you shoot other things besides weddings?

Do you outsource  to retouch photographs and design albums?

How long will it take to see our wedding images?

Generally I  have a 2 week turn around.  The only exception might be right around the winter holidays.

Can we get our negatives or digital negatives?

Yes, everyone gets a digital copy of their images.

Will we meet before the wedding?

Absolutely. Please call or email us and schedule an appointment. If you are out of the San Diego area, we can set up a Skype video conference.

What kind of equipment do you use?

I use a diverse selection of equipment to produce your wedding images. Digital and film cameras, off-camera lights, reflectors, plastic lenses, polaroids and light modifiers.

Will I get an Album?
