San Luis Obispo wedding photographer
Love,
captured.
The people you love. The light you chased. The part of the night nobody wanted to end.
Windswept whimsy. Soft kisses. Sun-kissed tears. The quiet moments in between. The laughing & the dancing. A whole lotta soul. Real moments that look like cinema. The magic of your love. Free to be yourself. All shapes & shades welcome. A space to belong.
Queer-owned · open-hearted · California-rooted
The big feelings.
The in-between moments.
Maybe you’re getting married beneath the trees, sneaking off to the courthouse, or gathering your chosen family for a gloriously loud dance party. I’m here for all of it, with gentle guidance and a very happy heart.

Hey, I’m James
photographer + people person
I’m a California wedding & elopement photographer who’s passionate about capturing the magic of life.
At the core of everything I do is connection. Living with chronic illness has enabled me to focus on what matters most: LOVE. Photography lets me freeze moments in time and make art out of memories with some incredible humans. It’s a joy and an honor to turn so many love stories and milestones into images that last.
If you like my portfolio and would like to work together, drop a line anytime. I can’t wait to meet you. 🙂
