Walnut Creek wedding photographer for people who value candid moment driven photography and don’t want cookie cutter images.

Want your photos to look real and authentic,
and not so posed and contrived?

That’s where I come in.

If you prefer laughter over smiles, we'll get along

Your wedding day is not a photoshoot. It isn’t endless posing and kissing.
It is your epic celebration, and I am just there to document your story.

I guarantee I will make you laugh, so if you are “awkward in front of the camera” I got you!  I love capturing (and making) laughter and real moments. 

My goal as a Walnut Creek wedding photographer is to document real moments to help you remember how much joy there is in your life. 

Awards and Recognition

Hi, I'm Ian!

I’m a San Francisco native now living in Dublin, CA, with my amazing wife and our 11 year old pup, Frankie (says relax – get that reference?)

I like country music, am an avid yogi, and am a back to back fantasy basketball champion. 

I know being in front of the camera can be super awkward, so don’t worry – I prefer a candid approach. But I also love creative portraits for you to hang on the wall.

For a better feel for my style, check out the behind the scenes video I have in my About page below.

300+ Weddings as a Bay Area Wedding Photographer

 Wedding Photography in Walnut Creek

As a native Bay Area wedding photographer, I have been fortunate to have grown up in one of the best places in the world to get married. In addition to the great cuisine, attractions, and weather, Northern California is home to some amazing natural landscapes and elopement venues. Redwood trees, ocean views, and wineries are all a short drive from the City.
