The Experience
Jose turned our dreams into reality with his photos
Jose brought our wedding vision to life. Planning the wedding was pretty stressful, and we wanted everything to be perfect. Choosing Jose as our photographer was one of our best decisions. His experience and knowledge guided us through what to expect and helped us avoid potential hiccups, ensuring everything went smoothly. And he captured it all magnificently! (Katie)
We’d definitely hire Jose again and again
We couldn’t have found a better photographer for our wedding. Right from the start, he made us feel super comfortable, and we knew we were in good hands. His eye for detail, creativity, and the way he captured our love was just incredible. (Rebecca)
We were beyond thrilled with the photos he took. He gave us a gorgeous visual story of our love that we’ll cherish forever (Chelsea).

The Booking Process
Booking your wedding photography and videography with us is designed to be seamless, personalized, and stress-free. We limit our bookings to ensure every couple receives our full attention. Here’s how the process works:
1. Initial Inquiry: Start by visiting our website or emailing us with your wedding date, location, and a bit about your vision. We’ll respond within 24-48 hours to confirm availability and share our portfolio tailored to your style.
2. Consultation Call: Schedule a complimentary 30-minute virtual or in-person consultation. This is where we discuss your love story, cultural elements, must-have shots, and package options (ranging from $1,500 to $5,000+). We’ll answer all your questions and provide a custom quote.
3. Review Proposal: After the call, you’ll receive a detailed proposal outlining your tailored package, including full-day coverage (8-12 hours), post-production editing, and the complimentary engagement session (valued at $500). Review it at your leisure and let us know if you’d like any adjustments.
4. Secure Your Date: Once you’re ready, sign the digital contract and submit a 50% non-refundable retainer via our secure online portal. This locks in your date—remember, we book limited weddings per year, so early action is key!
5. Engagement Session: Enjoy your free engagement shoot at a scenic San Francisco Bay Area location. This session helps us connect, eases any camera shyness, and gives you beautiful pre-wedding photos to use for save-the-dates or announcements.
6. Planning Touchpoints: In the months leading up, we’ll have check-ins to refine timelines, scout locations, and incorporate any special requests. You’ll have access to our client portal for easy communication and inspiration sharing.
7. Wedding Day Magic: On your big day, our team arrives prepared to capture every candid moment and artistic portrait with high-end equipment and a non-intrusive approach.
8. Delivery and Beyond: Expect edited photos in 4-6 weeks and videos in 6-8 weeks via a private online gallery. Add-ons like albums or prints can be ordered anytime. We’re here for life—many couples return for family sessions!
This process ensures you’re not just hiring a photographer, but a partner in preserving your memories. Ready to start? Contact us today!
