See the work first
One finished wedding film. That’s the honest starting point.
My finished elopement-film library is still small. That is exactly why the founding rate exists. This is the work I can show you today, before I ask you to book anything.

Why the rate is lower
Because I’m early, and I’d rather say that plainly.
I’ve spent years shooting people, landscapes, and weddings as a photographer. I’m intentionally building this specific body of elopement films now.
So I’m not pricing like someone with fifty finished films online. The first few couples get a real founding rate, and I get permission to show the finished work plus an honest testimonial afterward.
No second shooter. No assistant. No account manager. You plan the day with me, and I’m the person holding the camera.
- →I can use the finished film and stills as portfolio work.
- →You give me an honest testimonial once you have seen it — good or bad.
What you get
Everything needed to tell the day well. Nothing padded in.
3–5 minute highlight film
Built around your vows, the place, and the actual shape of the day.
Full ceremony recording
Your vows and ceremony delivered separately, in full.
Professional audio
Lavalier microphones so the words matter as much as the images.
Planning with the filmmaker
Timeline, light, location, crowds, and how much coverage you actually need.
8–12 week delivery
Full-resolution digital delivery.
Two rounds of revisions
Included, so you are not stuck with an edit that misses the mark.
The founding offer
Most San Diego elopements fit in four hours.
Enough time for getting ready, the ceremony, and a golden-hour section without turning the day into an eight-hour production.
4-hour half day
Founding rate · 50% holds your date
Need less? Two hours is $750.
Want the full day? Eight hours is $2,200.
Not sure? That is what the call is for. I’ll tell you if I think you’re buying more coverage than you need.

A few direct answers
Before you book a call.
Why are the rates reduced?
Because this finished elopement-film portfolio is still small. The rate reflects that. In exchange, I need permission to show the finished work and an honest testimonial afterward.
What if my date is outside the current booking window?
The founding rate applies to September–December 2026. I can still film later dates at the standard rate.
Do I need eight hours?
Usually not. Most San Diego elopements fit comfortably in four hours. I would rather recommend less coverage than sell you time you do not need.
What happens on the call?
You tell me what you are planning. I tell you whether I think I am a fit, how much coverage makes sense, and what I would change about the timing or location. No pitch deck.
Check your date
Tell me when and where.
Four fields. About a minute. I reply personally within 24 hours and tell you whether I’m available — and whether I think the coverage you’re considering actually makes sense.
No newsletter. No sales sequence. Just a reply from me.
