About

"My photography is the way I appreciate the feeling, the detail, the emotion, and the energy of a moment in time.

And in those moments that pass so quickly, my camera and I are waiting.

You are unique and beautiful. I would love to capture that for you."

Professional Background: My interest in photography started in my early teens. I attended Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography and Digital Imagery. When I graduated in 2007 I immediately began working to develop my photography company and have been capturing lifestyles, weddings, and special events ever since! Last year I married my wife, Caitlin, who is my assistant photographer, and we work as a team at every wedding! This year, I also brought on a new associate photographer, Kate.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The best we could have hoped for!

Jay was the perfect photographer for us! We really appreciated his professionalism, while keeping a relaxed vibe and helping us feel stress-free in general as well as in front of the cameras. We love how both the engagement session and wedding photos turned out, and we'll be able to cherish those memories forever. His relaxed and friendly style really helped to make us comfortable in front of the camera and the results show it. You won’t regret choosing Jay as your photographer, we couldn’t have asked for any better! Thanks again Jay!

So easy to work with and GREAT photos for outdoor events!

Initially, we picked Jay from a list of preferred vendors because out of all the photographer's portfolios, his had amazing outdoor lighting, and our wedding was outside at a barn/vineyard. After having worked with him, there are SO many more reasons we would recommend Jay!! We are both semi-awkward picture takers, and somehow he captured about 1000 amazing shots of my husband and I in a very natural, fun and easy-going setting during our engagement shoot. The wedding day pics came out beautifully too, with so much color and natural light to them. Jay is also very prompt to respond during the planning process, and even helped us set up our day-of timeline, which was a huge help. 10/10 would recommend!
