Ventura and Santa Barbara, California Wedding Photography

Professional Wedding Photographer in Ventura County

All wedding photographers take pictures. I believe there is by far more to the job than just taking pictures. What I do as a wedding photographer is capture the love and beauty of your wedding day. It's not a taking endeavor at all, rather, it is to record the moments of your wedding day then produce images for you to enjoy for the years to come.

I have photographed weddings in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and all of Southern California for more than 25 years and I am one of the early photographers to use photojournalism to cover weddings. Also, having a background in Editorial and Studio Photography, I photographs weddings in a combination of all styles from the Classic and Photojournalistic to a little Avant-garde. I have spent all these years trying to perfect a combination of classic, photojournalistic and creative photography that fits both my clients’ taste and my personal taste as an event photographer. What I have learned and accepted is that there is no perfecting of this. Things change, people change, styles change. I myself have a different overall style now than I did ten years ago. So I keep an open mind and aim to fit this combination of styles to what I have learned about you.

I love photographing weddings. No need to say “smile”. No need to wait for an emotion-filled shot. The abundance of joy, tears, laughter and dancing makes wedding photography both pleasant and satisfying. To every event I shoot, I take my desire to find a new way to capture emotion in art form. My goal is to capture the moments in your wedding day that will bring tears to your eyes for years to come. To me, the perfect shot is one that you and your new spouse will look at ten, fifteen, twenty years from now and remember exactly what, when, why, where and how you were feeling at that precise moment.

Professional Ventura County Wedding Photographer

The expertise needed for wedding photography is an extraordinary combination of artistic ability, technical training and top of the line equipment. Photographers with all these skills are few and the most talented people in this field are hard to find. Beyond the technical expertise with cameras, equipment, and a knowledge of lighting both broad and sublime, wedding photography requires sensitivity, compassion, intuition and an eye developed over many years of photographing people.

The bottom line is: I love my job. I get to be an integral part of something as special and moving as the beginning of a marriage and capturing the images so the newlyweds have something to look back on for many years to come is my pleasure.

The photographer you see is the one you get. I am the photographer, not a wedding photography clearing house. I do not subcontract my work and when I book with a second shooter they are professional and someone I have personally worked with that understands my vision and concept. Because of this wedding photography bookings are limited in order to assure quality.

There is so much I more I could tell you, but you don't have all day. After all you are here because you have a need and a desire for professional photography this I can fulfill.
