Every wedding is unique in styling & timing, therefore the amount of coverage that you need may vary from someone else’s needs and that is why we offer three collections with different hourly coverage! Having said that, our preferred amount of coverage and our most frequently booked collection includes 8 hours. Eight hours gives Rob and the team the perfect amount of time to thoroughly tell the story of your wedding day without feeling rushed, left with too much downtime, or missing important details/moments.

but if you think you need more or less time, let’s chat!

Our gear includes professional-grade Red Digital Cinema bodies, Canon bodies, Sony Bodies, a variety of Pro & Cinema lenses + external lighting equipment by Aputure, Godox, Nanlite & More. We utilize techniques like shooting in high frame rates and we use tools like drones, gimbals, sliders, dollys, and more to make sure our shots are smooth and beautiful. 

We don’t charge extra for things like drone shots, if your location can accommodate them & we feel it’s best for the film and if we have time, we will definitely do it. But sometimes it’s just not called for or applicable so we don’t want to charge you and have to give you bad news the day of. Whatever package you go far you’re going to get stunning shots. We utilize techniques like shooting in high frame rates and we use tools like drones, gimbals, sliders, dollys, and more to make sure our shots are smooth and beautiful.

We specialize in “Candid” & “Portrait” Wedding Photography, Unless we’re doing Portraits most people won’t even know they’ve had their photo taken. It’s important for us to show people’s genuine happiness. We can, and will set you up with a Photo booth, 360 setups, or even a set of Polaroid Cameras and an operator to standby and help everyone get through the experience simply. Just mention this to Robert when you book your date.

Yes! We love new adventures and would be happy to join you in any city, state, or country to document your special day. Just know any shoot 100 miles outside of Los Angeles will incur extra expenses so we can get there and treat our team right. 

We love printed goods! We offer prints produced through our own lab and have partnered with both VideoBox and Album Craftsmen to deliver your memories in the most elegant way possible. 

We shoot your wedding when ever it’s happening. If your location and budget can accommodate more lighting and even a lighting tech we will bring one in to make sure you’re always in the spotlight. 

All weddings & lifestyle sessions are delivered through an online gallery for easy viewing, sharing with friends, family, and downloading. lifestyle sessions take about 2 weeks to be processed and weddings can take up to 3 weeks. curious to see a full engagement session or wedding gallery? Be sure to mention it in your initial inquiry and we’d be happy to share!

An engagement session is a great idea for so many reasons! not only does the session allow all three of us to bond and get to know each other in preparation for your wedding day, but it gives you guys a chance to warm up to me taking your pictures, which most couples have never done before. another perk of doing an engagement session is that I get to see how you two interact which gives me a better idea of how best to work with you on your wedding day. and lastly, engagement photos are a great way to document this special stage in your lives together!

So whether you’re into a formal sunset session downtown or a cozy, intimate shoot in your own home, I encourage every couple that I work with to consider participating in an engagement session.

One thing to note is on moments like “the first look” from both the party’s points of view with a single operator it is not possible. (Unless faked on one end.) If this is important to you and you don’t mind having extra crew members then let us know and we can make it happen. In addition, having an assisted operator is even more efficient because the assistant will make the operator’s life a breeze so they can get the most coverage. Portraits and Family Portraits are all professionally lit on the ceremony or reception grounds.
