Frequently Asked Questions:

-Can you describe your style?

You may call me an "Observer or a Witness". You can also say that I am a Visual Storyteller, because I document and tell the story of your wedding day through my lenses. Capturing your day as it unfolds, documenting details and its unique moments with an artistic eye, and a candid approach.

That will be Yours Truly, and NO one else! If your package comes with an additional photographer, they are someone from within my network of professional photographers that share my style and my vision.

Awesome! I can't wait to work with you! To hold your wedding date, a signed contract agreement, and a security retainer is required.

Only for weddings that take place more than 100 miles away from my studio in Westlake Village(CA), and even then it's only a modest fee to cover my travel expenses.

All images are shot digitally.

I use ONLY high-end professional digital camera bodies, and lenses from Canon. I ALWAYS bring backup camera gear that will allow me to shoot anytime, at any location without any interruption to the job at hand.

Proofs are generally posted online at a passcode protected gallery, within four weeks of the wedding.

-If my package includes a wedding album. When will I receive this album from you?

My album completion turn-around time is usually 14-18 weeks.

-What kind of albums do you carry?

I only carry top of the line world-class fine-art, flush-mount wedding albums. They come in varying sizes, pages, colors and materials. They are very modern and edgy. Every album is hand crafted by a master artisan, using materials that will last for generations. No two books are EVER alike, and I will work with you to put together an album that matches your style, or your wedding theme. Or you just want to be different and ROCK OUT an album that will literally "stop traffic".
