What photography services do you offer?

We photograph proposals, engagements, elopements, weddings, family and children sessions, milestone events, and select commercial/editorial projects. We also offer discreet undercover proposal coverage when requested.

Which areas do you serve?

We primarily serve Southern California including San Diego, La Jolla, Temecula wine country, Orange County, and surrounding regions, with travel available by request.

How far in advance should we book?

Peak dates fill quickly, so we recommend booking several weeks in advance. We also accommodate last-minute requests when our schedule allows.

What is your typical turnaround time for photos?

Preview selections are often delivered within a few days, with full galleries typically delivered within 2–4 weeks depending on session type and season.

Do you provide location guidance and permits if needed?

Yes. We recommend locations based on light, access, and privacy, and we advise on any venue or municipal requirements. If permits or approvals are needed, we’ll guide you through the process.

What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

We plan weather-smart timing and backups. For significant weather issues, we can adjust timing or reschedule to protect light and overall experience.

Do you offer styling or outfit guidance?

Absolutely. We share simple styling tips aligned with the setting and season to keep the focus on you and the location without distractions.

How are images delivered?

You’ll receive a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads and social-ready files. Print options and albums are available upon request.

Do you retouch photos?

Yes. We include careful color, exposure, and composition adjustments, plus light retouching as appropriate to maintain a natural, timeless look.

Can you help plan a surprise proposal?

Yes. We map out cues, exact positioning, and timing around the best light. Our discreet approach keeps the surprise intact and transitions into portraits afterward.

What are your payment and rescheduling policies?

A retainer secures your date, with the balance due before the session. If you need to adjust timing, we’ll offer the earliest available options per our agreement.

How do we get started?

Send your preferred date range, location ideas, and session type. We’ll confirm availability, suggest locations, and share next steps to make booking easy.
