Most couples spend months planning their wedding and about eleven minutes actually experiencing it. My job is to change that. I'll keep you present, keep things moving, and make sure what you're feeling shows up in the photos. True to life, a little dreamy, and nothing that'll make you cringe in ten years.
You deserve to enjoy your own wedding.
You planned all of this for a reason, so be present for it.
Too many couples look back wishing they had felt less posed and more themselves.
I believe in doing things differently.
Let’s create something that feels true to you.
My photography feels true to life with a touch of dreamy.
Think Planned, but Candid. Plandid.
So go enjoy your day.
Have another drink. Laugh with your people. Kiss the person you love.
Be present. This day goes fast.
Northern California is home: San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, Humboldt, Mendocino, Sacramento, the North Bay, and everywhere in between. But I travel. If the wedding means something to you, I want to be there.

I'm a Northern California wedding photographer who takes his job seriously and himself only occasionally. I show up prepared, pay attention to the stuff most people miss, and genuinely care whether you had a good day. Not just good photos. A good day.
Your story comes first. Always.
Hey, I'm Dan.

Every couple has something they care about that nobody else would think to protect. Maybe it's a parent who cries at everything. Maybe it's a partner who would rather disappear than be the center of attention. Maybe it's the small in-between moments that most photographers walk right past.
My job is to find out what matters before the day starts, so nothing gets left to chance when it counts.
Nothing gets missed.
You tell me what it means. I'll make sure it shows.
