My friends!

I am Bobby.

(And I'm stoked to have you here)

I live in Santa Cruz. Cleveland born and raised-- though I lived in the high mountains of Colorado for almost a decade too--- photographing and snowboarding and kayaking and climbing.

I love looking for the magic and the beauty of the mundane moment. I love that, moment to moment, regardless of what's happening, that there's something extraordinary to be seen.

I’m the owner and founder here at the Deep Light Company, and your main guy behind the lens (although the whole team is rad!)

I love seeing you light up and think our best work comes from the organic, unplanned, and spontaneous good. No posing and forcing— just the ease, your connection and the wildness. Thats where the magic is.

If there’s a body of water near your shoot, I’ll probably be in there neck deep attempting to get some rad image for you.

I’m big into laughter, keeping it light-hearted, looking for flow and the bright side of things— glass perpetually half-full. I also might make some mildly inappropriate ’that’s what she said’ jokes, haha.

I love when everyone is relaxed and themselves and uncensored in front of the camera-- nothing unnatural or repressed--- so that when couples look back, they just remember that fun and that ease, full of laughter and love.

When I’m not editing and shooting and scouting for the strongest, raddest locations for engagements and elopements, I’m probably basking in the sun, drinking copious amounts of tea and meditating.

And if I’m not doing that, you’ll find me surfing or out climbing and bouldering.

Let's capture what makes your hearts beat hardest, together.

And please! I invite you to look at my website at the galleries there, and to fill out that “Book me!” form if you’re inquiring!

    Amazing photos, wonderful presence

    Bobby was a fantastic photographer during all stages of our wedding! He has several hidden gem locations in the Santa Cruz area that were a great choice for our engagement shoot. He did a wonderful job at making us feel relaxed and comfortable and was able to capture some wonderful moments with stellar lighting that day.

    We were so glad to have Bobby there for our very full wedding day. From the early morning of the wedding, our first look, the ceremony, and all the way through the reception to when we left at night, Bobby was able to capture every moment perfectly. He has a talent for getting people to relax and look natural, we came away with drop dead gorgeous “magic hour” photos and he also made sure it was a fun and memorable time for us to get away from the bustle of the reception and enjoy time on our wedding day together.

    We wanted to have a good selection of candid photos as well as our posed shots to make sure we really remembered everything, this is definitely something Bobby excels at, he captured so much love and joy in our photos, every time we look at them we can’t stop smiling (seriously our faces hurt).

    As much as we enjoyed our photos taken by Bobby we also were so grateful to have him there with us. He knew our timeline and was wonderful about checking in with us when it was time for cake cutting or our first dance etc. He also did a great job of reminding us that this was our day and that we could enjoy it however we wanted. He ran interception to give us space when we needed and helped keep us calm and everything moving smoothly.

    We had sneak peaks in the first week for both our wedding and engagement shoot. The final selection for both took a few months, but we were busy in the throws of wedding planning/honeymooning so it felt like we got back from our honeymoon and got to re-live our wedding day with the final photos. Bobby had also been really wonderful with keeping us updated on progress so we never felt stuck not knowing when we would get everything.

    We feel incredibly lucky to have had Bobby as our photographer and would definitely recommend him. Especially if you’re a bit anxious in front of the camera.
