The Story
I Love a Good Story.
Let me help tell yours.
For over 20 years and 500+ weddings and elopements, I've been helping couples tell their love story in the world's most breathtaking places. From the alpine peaks of Telluride to the granite walls of Yosemite, from the beaches of Kauai to the Italian Alps, every couple's journey is a new story waiting to unfold.
My approach is journalistic and authentic. I guide you through natural movement, choosing angles and locations where the emotion of your day meets the drama of the landscape. No over-processed, trendy editing. Just timeless, powerful images that preserve every real moment and every genuine feeling.
I'm a landscape photographer first — bringing a fine art eye to every wedding and elopement. I'm also a Wilderness First Responder, a drone pilot, and a night sky specialist, which means I can take you places other photographers can't and capture moments they can't see. When I'm not working, you'll find me in the backcountry, surfing at San Onofre, or at my cabin in Tahoe City.
“Will my wedding images still be viewed as authentic and timeless when the latest editing trends have passed?”
The question I ask before every edit

The Whole Crew
Michael
Photographer
Has a big laugh and a young sense of humor. Addictions include poke, craft IPAs, surfing, and well-roasted coffee. Has been accused of having a 70s surf style. Alpine landscapes and the night sky evoke a deep state of awe and inspiration in him.
Renee
Second Shooter & Partner
Starts most mornings making up silly original songs for the dog. An animal rights activist committed to helping others in their spiritual formation. Regularly dreams of the cabin she will design in the Sierras. A great question-asker.
Lassen
Chief Morale Officer
A French Bulldog and our resident foodie. Naps on road trips, revels in routine, and gets excited when a tent is being set up. His heart is so big his little legs get tired carrying it around.
