Carlsbad Wedding Photographer
Honest, unposed wedding photographs made in real light. In Carlsbad, that means spots like Carlsbad State Beach and The Flower Fields.
I photograph San Diego weddings the way they actually feel — the nervous laugh before the first look, the toast that goes off-script, the last song when the dance floor forgets anyone is watching. My approach is documentary at heart, with just enough gentle direction that you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.
Carlsbad has the most variety of anywhere in North County — wide state beaches, the famous spring Flower Fields, the calm Batiquitos Lagoon, and a cluster of the region's best wedding resorts. Whatever the season, there's a strong backdrop within a few minutes' drive.
Local know-how: The Flower Fields require paid admission and are wildly popular in April — weekday mornings are the move. The Crossings and Aviara are hilltop venues with sweeping sunset views to the west.

Fifty acres of ranunculus in bloom, March to May only — a once-a-year backdrop.

Quiet trails and reflective water for a softer, inland-feeling session.

Less crowded than the main state beach, with clean dune grass and sunset color.
