Unscripted & Honest: Orange County Wedding Photography

Weddings move fast—but your photos shouldn’t feel rushed. I’m a wedding photographer based in Irvine, creating documentary-style galleries for couples across Orange County and Southern California. From the quiet lipstick touch-ups to the rowdy reception dance-floor, the galleries below prove one thing: moments trump poses. If you're planning a wedding and want natural, story-driven coverage, scroll through the recent sessions—and check the investment page for pricing and package details. If it feels like the right fit, hit Inquire to lock in your date.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I offer three straightforward options—short-session coverage, half-day, and full-day collections—each including high-resolution digital files and an online gallery. For a quick pricing overview, see my Investment page.

  • Yes—most of my work is in Irvine, OC, and surrounding Southern California venues (San Diego, LA, Palm Springs, etc.). Destination weddings are also welcome with a simple travel fee.

  • Your complete online gallery lands within 4-6 weeks of your wedding day. From there you can download high-res files, order prints, and share with family and friends.

  • For most weddings under 150 guests, I shoot solo. This allows me to stay low-profile and capture moments without turning your wedding into a production set. However, for large guest lists or complex timelines (where the couple is getting ready in different cities), adding a second shooter is highly recommended to ensure nothing is missed.

  • It’s simple. Once we’ve chatted and you’re ready to move forward, I send a digital contract and an invoice for a 30% retainer (or flat fee, adjust as needed). Once that’s signed and paid, your date is officially locked in my calendar.
