Monterey Wedding Photography

On your wedding day, you shouldn’t spend one second worrying about whether or not you’ll like your photos.

THIS IS THE FUN PART.

Below you’ll find a few of my absolute favorite days featuring Monterey Wedding Photography moments throughout all my favorite venues

From weddings at The Barns, Laguna Seca, etc. to Editorials at Highlands Inn along highway 1 and engagement sessions in SoCal, there is so much to inspire from. 

The light and airy Monterey wedding photography you’ll find in my portfolio today, have come from years of practicing my craft and exploring the world.

Story time: A few years ago, I was already on a flight to Barcelona when riots started taking place at the airport. Thousands of people were starting fights, blocking roads, and limiting access to baggage claim. Once we touched down in Spain, myself (and hundreds of other confused travelers) were escorted into an arrival room until exiting the airport was “safe” again.

Why is that important? The more you travel and the more I photograph weddings, I know that anything can happen. This is why I am well trained to handle any obstacle, weather, or delay that comes our way on the wedding day.

When you start to plan your wedding day, there are a million and one things on your mind. At the end of your wedding day, all you’ll leave with is your photos and memories. I’m ready with the jokes and the camera so we can make sure every minute is a good one.
