"We cried when we saw our engagement shoot photos and we cried again when we saw the photos he took at our wedding. Kevin, thank you for just seeing us, making us feel beautiful, and letting our love shine through your photography!" - Jade and Tony

Who do I work with?
We did our engagement shoot with Kevin at Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Not only did he take the most beautiful photos of our special day, but he made the shoot super fun as well! We are both fairly camera shy people but he made us feel so comfortable and did a lot of candid shots that really captured our personalities and love for each other.
He is an extremely pleasant person to work with because he is incredibly kind, great at communicating timelines.

I want to work with couples who are best friends. If this is you we are a perfect match. Let's get to know each other a little bit to see if we vibe. We need to go together like mac and cheese. I want us to get to know each other so we BOTH know it's a great fit and can move forward with gusto.
I'm a guy who loves people of every background. I used to bartend in Venice Beach and I have served every kind of person on the planet. If you're cool I'm cool. Past clients have had John Waters inspired weddings at places like the Madonna Inn. I love shooting on film and if that's your aesthetic I think we just became best friends. I'm less into timelines than I am documenting your day in an honest way. Plandids? No. Family portraits? Of course.

Ask me about multiple day coverage to cover the rehearsal dinner, the brunches, the mini trips built into the weekend. We'll figure out a quote.
If you want me to then absolutely! This is absolutely the most romantic vibe. If you want digital too I can do that as well.
I find myself in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Nashville quite often. New York is calling my name again and Tokyo absolutely stole my heart so if you want me to travel? I'll be there.
Yes and yes!
I'll guide you if I need to but I'm mostly documentary style and find the most memorable photos you'll want to frame are most often candid and show you being natural!
Yes, many people take this route.

Weddings shot on full film will have extra costs to cover film, development, and scanning. If you're doing both than the cost is already built in. Portraits and boudoir are always on film!
Yes, each elopement and wedding will receive a photo album of 25 photos that tell the story of your day chosen and curated by me.
Prints are available through my print shop when your gallery is ready. I use a trusted print shop with a strong history of beautiful print work, accurate coloring, and a team devoted to making the best prints. If you choose your local pharmacy to print photos I can't make any guarantees they will look as they should.
I've worked with artists, musicians, and people who have been drawn to my energy and style. I'm not a micro manager and tend to matchup great with people who roll with the punches. I can honestly be pretty shy until we get to know each other a bit. All of my clients have trusted me to do the job they hired me for and I can promise it's made everyone very happy. I love talking ideas and visions beforehand so when it comes to the day we can all lean into the energy of the moment.
The more I feel a part of things the more comfortable I am and the more I can lean into the parts of my work that allow me to make the most memorable photographs for you. So sit me with your crazy uncle, invite me to photograph your rehearsal dinner, so when you and your most important people make an In'n'Out run after the reception I will be there. Documenting maybe one of the most memorable moments of the night.
