👋🏼 Hey there!
My name is Eli. I’m a photographer serving Ventura, Los Angeles, and Orange County since 2010. I help capture how genuine love already sees you: joyful, dignified, and worthy to be celebrated.
We live in a world where quality images attract the opportunities we deserve and celebrate the greatest moments of our lives. You, yes you, deserve quality images.
Clients describe my personality as approachable and warm, creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that allows your genuine emotions and candid moments to happen naturally. Whether it's a vibrant outdoor wedding or a simple portrait session in the comfort of your home, I strive to create timeless images you will cherish for years to come.

I’ll arrive as you begin to get ready for your day (typically, this is around noon), and I typically leave during your exit or after an hour of open dancing (typically 9:00 or 10:00 PM).
-
Yes! You’ll save money by bundling both shoots together, and this will help us get to know each other. That way, you’re nice and comfortable on your big day.
-
For most two-hour photo sessions, I typically send proofs within two business days and final photos within two weeks. Additional retouching will add days to this timeline.
For weddings and events, I typically send proofs within a week and final photos within four weeks.
-
Yes! I recommend this by default for weddings over 100 people. A second photographer benefits everyone: Double coverage of your ceremony, an assistant for family and post-ceremony portraits, and added freedom and security for us as photographers to be more creative when capturing your day.
-
Yes! I’m currently building public galleries. In the meantime, I can share a complete album with you privately.
-
On most two-hour photoshoots, I’ll take 200–300 photos, and for weddings, I take around 3000–5000! It’s a lot to sort through even if you’re a professional. Instead, we can find a solution that will save you some time while still giving you what you’re looking for.

Yes, I keep a backup of all the final photos I send to you. I strongly recommend that you back up your copies as well.
