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.
My job is to change that.
Most couples spend months planning their wedding and about eleven minutes actually experiencing it.

Wedding Photography Across Northern California and Destination Locations
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.

I photograph weddings throughout Northern California including San Francisco, the North Bay, Napa, Sonoma, Humboldt County, Mendocino, Sacramento, Fresno, and the surrounding regions. I am also no stranger to destination events whether domestic or international, and I welcome any celebration that holds meaning for you.
Your Story, Wherever It Takes You
Northern California wedding photography for couples who want emotion, connection, and photos worth keeping forever.
You are planning a day that means everything.
You want to feel present. You want to soak it in. You want photographs that show your real connection and the people who matter most.
I’m Dan. I help couples slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moments that will become their family legacy.
Your story comes first, always.

Why Couples Come to Me
Every couple has something they care about deeply.
Maybe it is a parent who cries easily.
Maybe it is a partner who hates being the center of attention.
Maybe it is the small, in-between moments that most cameras miss.
My job is to learn what matters to you and make sure it is protected.
You guide the meaning. I guide the process.
