When you hire a photographer, you hire a person that is responsible for capturing not just an image, but the mood, the atmosphere, and most importantly the emotion of the moment.

Having studied from some of the worlds best photographers I have learned that the technical aspects of photography are only part of what makes an image great. It's being in touch with the surroundings and getting to know the people you are photographing that make truly great images possible. I strongly encourage all couples getting married in Newport Beach to purchase the engagement session as well as the basic photography package. It gives us time to talk and it lets me find out exactly what type of image you hope to capture. Most of the photography on this site was done under professional lighting setups at engagement sessions. It's near impossible to achieve this type of lighting during your ceremony because each and every shot is setup specifically for that shot. It guarantees those perfect images that everyone wants for their wedding album.

I use only the best equipment available. I shoot high resolution digital format images that can be printed to sizes in excess of 60". I can deliver digital images up to 29 Mega-Pixels. I carry a full assortment of lenses and camera types to achieve the exact look and feel that I'm going for. It only makes your images that much better at the end of the day.

I began shooting as a teenager on the beaches of Southern California, photographing mostly surfing contests and special events before moving on to wedding photography and portraiture. However, you will still see me at the beach whenever the waves are good either surfing or shooting pictures of other people surfing.

"Knowing how to use a camera is only half of the job, having the ability to capture the emotion of a split second is the other half. The trick, is doing both at the same time."

Give me a call, I'm sure we can work out a deal. 949.307.5177
