About

Your wedding day should be captured as authentically as is your love for one other. While I recognize the impressive pageantry and glamour of many of the wedding photographers out there, it's simply not my style. I'm not one to fit unique couples into similar molds.

My job is to document the celebration of the union of two people deeply in love. My goal is to do this in a way that reflects that unique love you share. This is a special day that will go by quickly - but that you'll want to remember for the rest of your lives. I'm there to support you both and give you the attention you deserve.

I am a documentary photographer, and I approach your wedding as an occasion that should be documented as it is. It is an event full of hundreds of wonderful moments, full of people who will never all share the same room again, and it's my job to capture as much as possible for your memories. I've spent years photographing disaster responses, bull riders, bush doctors in the jungle, tradespeople, boxers, dancers, and children. It's my job to to keep an unobtrusive presence and capture authentic, candid emotions and interactions.

With me, you’ll get a communicative, reliable photographer, a photo package catered to your needs, and real captured moments to last a lifetime. You won't get smugness, upselling, or synthetic, overly edited photos. Our affordable packages are catered to you.

I present edited photos in an attractive online gallery that you may share, and I offer complimentary assistance with print curation and ordering.

Going Home Pictures offers engagement sessions, bridal sessions, elopement photography, documentary videos of your wedding, and is available for rehearsal dinners and anniversaries. Ask us about our unique video approach.

Love is love. Serving authentic couples of all kinds in Southern California and beyond.

Going Home Pictures is based in Sierra Madre, CA and offers photography and video production services for your celebration.

Went above and beyond!

Kirk photographed our engagement photos, wedding ceremony & reception. We felt a bit uneasy going into the engagement photo session, but Kirk met us at a beach that meant a lot to us, and he immediately put us at ease. We loved the black & white photos he took. When our wedding day came, Kirk stayed present but out of the way. He even held my lipstick and a handkerchief for me! The photos were authentic and beautiful, and he helped us order a large archival print and compile beautiful gift albums for my parents and in-laws. Kirk also worked wonders on our video, even though he was our photographer. The videographer we hired never provided an edit, so Kirk stepped in to save the day and edited together the footage into an incredible video. I wish I could hire him again, but that wedding was a one-time thing! Maybe I can get him for our renewal vows one day!

A pro in every way

My daughter found him, but we paid for the photography, so I'm happy to leave a review! Kirk arrived early, was courteous, dressed professionally, and attentive while staying out of the way. We have a complicated family dynamic, but Kirk was on top of things and knew how to handle it when it came time to take the family photos. He made everyone feel at ease. I really appreciated that -- it took the edge off. Our daughter ordered some beautiful archival prints for us with Kirk's help. The photos were stunning, much higher quality than we expected. Kirk knows how to capture the special moments. I'll always cherish the candid one he took of my daughter and father.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
