Hi, I’m Drew, a wedding photographer based in Lake Elsinore, California. I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, where my love for photography first began. I used to bring my clunky film cameras to school to document our crazy high school days, capturing the little moments that made life feel special. That passion never faded, and today, I specialize in editorial and documentary-style wedding photography, blending artistic composition with real, unscripted emotion.

I believe in preserving life’s most precious moments, from quiet, intimate glances to the biggest celebrations of love. I create timeless, heartfelt images that tell your story in a way that feels authentic and true to you.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spending time with my partner, Christopher, and our two wonderful dogs, Ash and Harley. Whether we’re exploring new places or just enjoying a quiet day at home, I know that the best moments in life are the ones worth remembering—and I can’t wait to capture yours.

Emotive, Editorial & Unforgettable

Let’s capture today’s moments so you can cherish them for a lifetime

FAQS:

  • Fill out the contact form on the Contact page with the requested information so I can learn more about your wedding day plans. Once I receive your filled out form, I will reach out to you within 24 hours to schedule a Zoom/Facetime discovery call.

    Once our discovery call is complete and I answer all of your questions, I will send you a personalized proposal. Inside of the proposal will be a breakdown of all included services, your contract, invoice and next steps.

    I require contract signatures and a 30% retainer to reserve your wedding date. Payments can be made through the proposal for your convenience.

  • I ask that all of my clients respect my craft and my work. This is my art and I do not want it altered or edited in any way. Short answer is no.

  • I take my time and put a lot of creativity into my editing. Typically for smaller sessions it takes me about 2-4 weeks to finish a gallery. For my weddings and elopements, it can take me up to 10 weeks for complete galleries to be sent out. I keep communication open during the editing process and I always include a sneak peek highlight gallery within one week.

  • Most of my wedding and elopement packages include my travel fee. I frequently travel and I will post on my social media accounts my travel dates for the year. If I’m traveling near you, all travel fees are waived for bookings in that area during those dates.

  • If only you knew the amount of hours I work on each project. I’m not just a photographer. I’m an artist, a significant other, a small business owner and a dog-dad (my pups deserve the best ;). I take pride in the quality of my work. From our first meeting, the big day, the editing process and gallery delivery, everything I do is the highest quality.
