Capturing the sacrament, not just the celebration.
Capturing the sacrament, not just the celebration.
The Archdiocese of San Francisco holds some of the most extraordinary Catholic sanctuaries in the country — Old St. Mary's Cathedral on California Street, founded in 1854 and the oldest cathedral on the West Coast; the Italianate beauty of Saints Peter and Paul in North Beach; the historic Mission Dolores; and the bold concrete cross of the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. For Catholic couples planning a wedding in the city, the sanctuary itself is part of the ceremony.
I am a practicing Catholic photographer serving San Francisco and the Bay Area 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.
A Nuptial Mass at California and Grant in the heart of Chinatown — the parish that has stood watch over the city for more than a century and a half.
Built in 1854 of brick and granite shipped around Cape Horn, Old St. Mary's was the first cathedral on the West Coast and the original seat of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Its inscription — Son, Observe the Time and Fly From Evil Hours — still watches over Chinatown today.
Available for Catholic weddings throughout the Archdiocese of San Francisco — from Saints Peter and Paul in North Beach to Mission Dolores, St. Dominic's, the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, and the historic parishes of Marin and the Peninsula.
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 San Francisco and the Bay Area 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. Bay Area weddings are covered with a $0.79 per-mile round-trip travel fee from Southern California.
To the priests and parish staff of the Archdiocese of San Francisco: 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.
