Capturing the sacrament, not just the celebration.
The Diocese of San Diego is home to some of the most beautiful Catholic parishes in California — the Byzantine mosaics and cliff-top setting of St. Mary's Star of the Sea in La Jolla, the warm Spanish interiors of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and the Romanesque nave of St. Joseph Cathedral downtown. For Catholic couples planning a wedding here, the sanctuary itself is a participant in the rite, not a backdrop.
I am a practicing Catholic photographer serving San Diego with reverence and restraint. I know to step back during the consecration, to move quietly through a sanctuary, and to keep the camera on what matters most: the exchange of consent, the nuptial blessing, the first Communion received together as husband and wife. These are the photographs you will treasure for a lifetime.

An intimate Spanish Colonial parish founded in 1906, with a Byzantine mosaic apse over the altar and a setting just steps from La Jolla Cove. One of the most photographically beautiful sanctuaries in the diocese.
Available for Catholic weddings throughout the Diocese of San Diego — from the coastal parishes of La Jolla and Del Mar to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Joseph Cathedral, and the historic missions of North County.
Whether your wedding is a Novus Ordo Mass, a Traditional Latin Mass, an Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgy, or a celebration within an ecclesial movement, I bring the same understanding and respect to the sanctuary. The parishes of the Diocese of San Diego deserve to be photographed by someone who knows what is happening at the altar and why it matters.
I work with a limited number of couples each year so that each wedding receives my full attention — from our first conversation to the final delivered gallery. Collections begin at $4,200.
To the priests and parish staff of the Diocese of San Diego: I understand the dignity owed to Christ throughout the Mass. I dress appropriately, move quietly, and never position myself in a way that interrupts the liturgy. I do not use flash during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and I am glad to follow any photography guidelines your parish observes.
