American Weddings
Photography or film — one service per booking, both done fluently.
Processional, vows, first kiss, first dance — the American wedding runs on a handful of moments that each happen exactly once, and my coverage is built around never missing them. That includes Christian ceremonies, where I work quietly from the aisle edges and know when to be invisible during the liturgy. Couples like Ariel & DeVaughn, Vanessa & Jimmy, and Jessica & Jake trusted me with backyard arches, church altars, and a beach in Monterey. The style stays the same everywhere: directed portraits when you want them, documentary the rest of the day.

Questions
Do you photograph church ceremonies?
Yes, regularly. I check the officiant's photography rules ahead of time, work without flash during the liturgy, and stay out of sightlines — you'll barely know where I was until you see the photographs.
Can we get both posed portraits and candids?
That's the default. I block a short window for directed portraits — family formals, the two of you — and spend the rest of the day documenting what actually happens. Posed when you want it, candid when it counts.
Photography or film — which should we book?
One service per booking, so pick the one you'll revisit most. Photographs live on walls and albums; a film brings back voices and vows. If you want both, I'm glad to recommend a trusted colleague for the other.
