This wedding photography package covers a full wedding day, from the ceremony through the reception, with published pricing that starts at $3,000. The photographer is based in San Diego and works in a natural, unobtrusive way, using sunlight and subtle editing to build honest compositions that tell the story of the day as it actually happened.
Hosts who want a wedding photographer with a quiet presence will find the approach easy to work with. The focus is on real moments: the walk down the aisle, the reactions of family, and the small details that guests often miss. Editing stays light, so skin tones, colors and settings look true to life rather than heavily filtered.

Background and Approach
The photographer grew up in the Los Angeles area, and prior military service brought him to San Diego, where he stayed. He was given a camera in high school and has kept studying photography ever since. His interest in weddings began when he helped photograph a friend's ceremony and saw how much those unscripted, emotional moments meant to the people in them.
That experience shapes the coverage today. Rather than staging every frame, the photographer watches for genuine reactions and lets the day unfold. Posed portraits are still part of the plan for family and wedding party groups, but the overall record of the wedding leans on documentary storytelling that hosts can look back on for years.
Services and Materials Listed by the Vendor
- Engagement sessions and bride-only sessions
- Second photographer for wider coverage
- Extra hours of coverage
- Image editing and online proofing
- Printing rights and same-day edits
- Albums, prints, digital files and proofs
- Save-the-date cards and thank-you cards
Several of these items are add-ons rather than part of the starting package. The vendor also lists destination and travel work and books one event per day, so your wedding is the only event on the calendar that date. Ask which services you want bundled into your quote, such as a second photographer or an engagement session, so the final price reflects your plan.
Who This Package Suits
This full wedding package fits hosts planning a ceremony and reception who want one photographer to document the entire celebration. Smaller elopements are priced separately by the vendor, with elopement pricing published from $500, so if your plans are more intimate, mention that when you inquire. The photographer is five-star rated by past clients for comfort in front of the camera and results.
Planning Your Photo Timeline
A full wedding day usually moves through getting ready, the ceremony, family portraits, wedding party photos, cocktail hour and reception events such as toasts, first dance and cake cutting. Building a simple timeline with your photographer helps each of these moments get the time it needs, and it shows where a second photographer or extra hours would add the most value.
Natural light work benefits from planning around the sun. Ask about scheduling portraits during softer light late in the day, and plan a short buffer for family groupings right after the ceremony. A shot list of must-have family combinations keeps that part quick, so you can return to your guests sooner and enjoy cocktail hour.
Questions to Ask Before You Book
- Which deliverables are included at the starting price?

Pricing and Booking
The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details. The vendor's published range for full wedding coverage runs higher than the starting figure depending on the scope you choose. This price covers one event on a single day. The vendor has not published how many hours it includes, so the exact time is confirmed in your quote before you book.
To plan your coverage, share your wedding date, venue, ceremony start time and the moments that matter most to you, such as getting ready, first look or grand exit. The photographer can then confirm availability, recommend add-ons that fit your timeline and send a written quote. Check open 2026 dates and send your details to start the conversation.
