Candid Wedding Photography for the Monterey Area of California
Jason does not specialize in weddings, but has photographed dozens
If you're looking for candid and surprise engagement photography in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Big Sur
If you're looking for engagement photography in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble Beach, or Big Sur that stands apart from the typical every-weekend lifestyle photographer, I offer something different. With past experience capturing surprise engagements and a strong background in commercial photography, I bring a level of creativity and lighting skill that goes far beyond the usual natural light-only approach. I am highly experienced with off-camera lighting on location, meaning I can create beautifully lit, studio-quality images outdoors—while also capturing natural, candid moments using natural light. This dual approach gives couples a stunning variety of images and a look that truly sets their photos apart. I keep the entire experience from booking to the day of the shoot, fun, enjoyable, and stress free—so you can focus on the moment while I capture it at its best. Pricing starts at $350 for a surprise and candid engagement shoot.

Candid Wedding Photography for the Monterey Area of California
Jason does not specialize in weddings, but has photographed dozens!
If you do not want the typical two weddings every weekend photographer to photograph your wedding in the Monterey area of California
If you're planning a wedding in Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, or Big Sur and want photography that goes beyond the typical every single weekend wedding photographer style, I offer a more creative and elevated approach. With a background in both wedding photography (when I started my photography career in 2009) and in commercial photography (the past decade plus of my photography career), I bring a professional level of creativity, composition, and lighting that most wedding photographers simply do not offer. I’m highly skilled in using off-camera lighting on location—giving you beautifully lit, editorial-quality wedding photos, even in challenging light—while still capturing the natural, emotional moments of the day in soft, flattering natural light. My ability to blend both lighting styles gives couples a true variety of dynamic and romantic photos. I keep the entire photography experience from booking to the day of the shoot calm, friendly, and low-pressure—so you can be fully present and enjoy your day while I capture it with intention and artistry.
Pricing starts at $500 for candid wedding photography.
