👋🏼 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.

Your choice! This depends on our conversations as we plan for your wedding:
Typically, I’ll arrive as you’re getting ready for your day (around noon), and I leave during your exit or after an hour of open dancing (~8:00–11:00 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 a handful of sneak peeks within 3 days and final photos within two weeks. Additional retouching will add days to this timeline.
For weddings and longer events, I typically send sneak peeks within 7 days and final photos within 60 days.
-
Yes! I recommend this often! Of many benefits, a second photographer offers:
Coverage of both of you getting ready and your journey to the first look
Double coverage and less movement during your ceremony
An assistant for family and post-ceremony portraits
-
Yes! I can share relevant, approved albums with you privately.
-
Technically, I could, but… On most two-hour photoshoots, I’ll take up to 500 images, and for weddings, I take up to 7,000!
Instead, we can find a solution that will save you some time while still giving you what you’re looking for.
-
We’ll talk several times before your wedding to help clarify your vision for your images, and I'll collect info about your wedding as your plans develop. This includes:
Your wedding planner and day-of coordinator’s contact information
The day’s schedule
The venue location and contact information
A mood board we’ll discuss to better understand your vision
-
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.
