Photo Shoots in Pittsburg, CA

**Please read before contacting me** My main service is WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY. I travel all over California, and other states shooting weddings/events. When I am not shooting weddings, I also photograph corporate events, various types of party events, and I work with tourism boards making travel photos for their advertising. I have 18+ years full time experience in the wedding industry, and I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Please note that Thumbtack CHARGES me a fee when you contact me $80-$150. So I please ask that you review everything first. If you like what you see after googling me, and my official website. Please contact me with date, venue, guest count, and any information pertaining to your wedding. My style is more natural editing, and not "over" edited. I focus on real, not fake. I absolutely love what I do. I capture absolutely everything on your entire wedding day. While you are running around, and enjoying your moment. Interactions between friends, family, candid moments, and all the special moments in between occuring. If you're camera shy, don't worry. I'm personable, easy to get along with, and understand fully. Even though I'm a photographer, I actually don't like being in photos myself, so I understand this feeling. I help you relax, laugh, help with natural posing during portraits, focusing on real moments between you both. I'm there to guide, direct, and always help you. I think my photography stands out from others as I have shot on film my entire life (now digital). I focus on everything and those "real moments". When I make photos, I strive to get the shot right the first time "in the camera" - not in Photoshop! A lot of photographers overly utilize Photoshop and manipulate their photos far beyond what they originally shot making things look "fake". With my work, I edit in Lightroom as a "digital darkroom" to develop exactly what I SHOT naturally, darkening, lightening, color correction if needed, removal of unnatural blemishes on face that appeared day before your special day. Photoshop is only used in my work if something major needs to be done, mistake, or a client has a special request for that magazine look of brushing, for example a fashion shoot, modeling ad and so on. No one should "rely" on Photoshop. You should rely on your "photography skills" - while on the job. Note: You will see many "companies/teams" that will reach out to you with their photographers. But many of those other photographers do not edit their own photos. I think it is VERY important the person making the photos, edits their own shots. It makes zero sense to me that the artistic side of the photo, or exactly how the shot was taken by the photographer shooting - is edited by someone else. I do not use fake filters, I actually care about each photo I take, and each one is meticulously edited. Each shot is personalized with MY EYES for your special day. Lastly, of course I WILL EDIT /remove blemishes, pimples or something out of place, color correction, if camera translated colors incorrectly. BUT I cannot do requests for making you thinner, or making you look completely different from who you are. I'm a photographer, not a graphic art designer, nor a Magician. If you want beautiful, non-fake photos that actually represent your special day - and your beautiful self inside and out. Showing your happy moments, joy, love, surprise. I'm your photographer. If there's one major thing to lookout within my photos. Take notice of LAUGHTER. I really strive to capture REAL moments of laughter, smiles, tears, and love.

As a wedding and life photographer, I love to capture people's lives, celebrations, and special moments with attention to detail and in unique, artistic ways. I feel my work is fresh, modern, and romantic. Telling people's stories in the most magical of ways, with detail, and romance of life.

I love capturing beautiful, authentic photographs using a blend of natural posing and a candid storytelling approach, to ensure you have many wonderful images. I like the in-between moments - a glance, a touch, a laugh, plus will capture your family all together with eyes open! I offer a range of wedding packages and put together a custom package based on your needs. Additionally, I love to capture all the milestones and events such as maternity, family, elopement, newborn or graduation photos. All sessions include digital downloads and printing rights. Commercial shoots, corporate events, headshots - please contact me for pricing.
