Wedding photography here means classic timeless coverage of every important moment plus candid storytelling shots couples actually rewatch in the album years later.

The Photography Style
The photography style is timeless, accessible, and classic with a documentary edge: real reactions and quiet moments alongside the planned ceremony and portrait shots. Editing is natural and true-to-life rather than pushed through a heavy filter, so colors stay accurate and the album looks the same in five years as it does the day it's delivered. Every package includes professional retouching, an online gallery for sharing, and high-resolution digital files. Drone photography is available as an add-on where venue rules and weather allow.
What's Included
- Eight hours of continuous wedding day coverage
- One lead photographer
- 500-800 edited high-resolution digital photos
- Editorial-quality retouching on every delivered photo
- Printed photo album in linen-bound layflat hardcover
- Online gallery for streaming, downloading, and sharing
- High-resolution digital file delivery
Why This Is the Most-Booked Photography Tier
The most-booked configuration: a full eight hours of coverage paired with a professionally printed photo album so the day lives outside the digital archive as well. Eight hours carries the photographer from getting ready through dinner and into the opening dance set; the album is designed and delivered after the wedding so the two of you can curate the layout together.
Reviews and Reputation
This is a 4.9-rated wedding media studio across 505 verified reviews from real wedding couples. The photo team is led by an editorial photographer with high-fashion retouching credits, the video team is led by a documentary cinematographer with a Sundance Grand Jury Prize, and the content creator team is led by a social-media specialist with millions of views. Past couples consistently call out fast turnaround on edited photos, easy responsive communication, and a professional team that captures the day without ever pulling focus from the wedding itself.
Service Area
Bay Area team based in San Francisco serving weddings and events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, the Peninsula, San Jose and the South Bay, the Tri-Valley, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and the surrounding Wine Country. Coverage extends to estate weddings, winery celebrations, hotel ballrooms, beach ceremonies, and intimate backyard elopements. Travel beyond the standard Bay Area service area is available and travel fees are confirmed in advance during booking.
How Wedding Day Photography Works
Every booking starts with a discovery call to confirm the timeline, identify must-capture shots, and review any portrait, family-photo, or drone considerations. On the wedding day, the photographer arrives early to scout the venue, work the light, and integrate quietly with the video team and the planner. Edited photos are delivered within 60 days. Printed albums ship after a layout review. Every couple has one dedicated point of contact managing the full media team.
Customization, A-la-Carte, and Booking
All wedding photography packages are fully customizable. Published add-ons include a printed album at $250, additional coverage hours at $250 per hour, an engagement shoot (90 minutes) at $500, a second photographer at $150 per hour, drone coverage at $300, and content creator services for the social side of the day. Payment plans are available. Bay Area weddings book first for peak spring and fall Saturdays, so reserving as soon as the venue is locked is recommended to hold your preferred date.
