  • Hi there! Welcome to my wedding photography blog, where I share a few of my favorite images from my weddings and engagement shoots. For the past seven years, I've been a professonal wedding photographer based out of Southern Ca wine country of Temecula, but will soon begin a new chapter as an Ameila Island Wedding Photographer starting in the summer of 2013. I also shoot all across the U.S. and am relocating to Amelia Island, Fl this summer. I am now accepting weddings in Fernandina Beach, Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville, Fl, and the surrounding areas. I'll continue to fly back to Southern Ca for the occasional Temecula winery wedding as well. And if you're planning a destination wedding somewhere really cool, like this recent destination wedding in Spain, I also happen to have a suitcase packed and passport handy, so gimme a ring if you're looking for a destination wedding photographer.
