Your wedding shouldn't feel like a photoshoot.

It should feel like your wedding.

After more than 11 years of filming and photographing weddings, I've learned that the best moments rarely happen when everyone is looking directly at the camera.

They happen in between.

The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your partner seeing you for the first time. Your dad trying not to cry. Your friends losing their minds on the dance floor. The little glance you give each other when you think nobody is watching.

Those are the moments I want to preserve.

You shouldn't have to spend your wedding day performing for a camera. My approach is intentionally unobtrusive. I give you direction when it helps, then step back and let the day happen.

The result is a cinematic film filled with genuine reactions, real interactions, and the moments you probably didn't even realize were being captured.

CINEMATIC WITHOUT THE AWKWARDNESS.

STORY FIRST.

I've always loved movies and the way they can make you feel something long after they're over.

That's the same feeling I chase in every wedding film.

Beautiful imagery matters, but so does the sound of your vows, your grandmother's laugh, your best friend's speech, and the little moments you didn't even realize were happening.

The goal isn't just to show you what happened. It's to take you back.

I know being followed by cameras all day can feel intimidating; especially if you're not naturally comfortable in front of one.

My job is to make that easy.

I'll guide you when you need direction, help you feel confident when you're unsure what to do, and step back when the real moments start happening.

My goal is for you to eventually forget I'm there.

THE EXPERIENCE

BEFORE

We'll talk through your plans, timeline, and what matters most to you so I know what to look for before the wedding day arrives.

DURING

I'll guide you when it's helpful and stay out of the way when it isn't.You get to live your wedding. I get to tell the story.

AFTER

When the day is over, your photographs and film become a way back to it—to the people, the emotions, and the moments you'll want to remember years from now.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I'm Steven.

Wedding filmmaker. Photographer. Black espresso enthusiast. Movie nerd. And proud father of 2 and dog dad to seven very spoiled pups.

I'm based on California's Central Coast and regularly photograph and film weddings throughout Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, and beyond.

After more than a decade of doing this, I still get excited when I press play on a finished film and think:

“Yeah. That's their story.”

LET'S TELL YOURS.

Your wedding only happens once.

Let's make something you'll want to watch for the rest of your life.
