Q: Do you have a particular style?

A: I do. I describe my style in one sentence: “I am a photojournalist who masterfully combines candid images to create elegant portraits.” I believe that real moments are the best, and the more organic your photos are, the better.

Q: What do you like best about being a wedding photographer?

A: My couples, hands down! I truly work with some of the best couples in San Diego. It’s so awesome because I’m part of this momentous day in their lives and my photos will be shared and passed down from generation to generation. It’s a humbling feeling.

Q: How did you get into wedding photography?

A: My first year in photography school I aspired to be the modern-day Ansel Adams. During my second year, however, I fell in love with a local photographer’s work. It was so edgy and candid. His name is Bil Zelman and at the time he was still shooting very HIGH END weddings (now he only shoots commercial work). For months I begged him for an internship, and after about six months of relentlessly showing up at his studio, he finally took me on. I worked my butt off for him, and in the process learned how to photograph weddings from one of the best wedding photographers of our time. The rest is history, and Bil and I are great friends to this daySubheading

Q: What’s the coolest place you ever photographed a wedding?
