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!

Bobby is the one

Where to even begin? I saw Bobby in action at a previous wedding (a year before even getting engaged) and knew he was THE ONE. I wanted to work with him so badly that while we were booking our venue, I was texting him on the side to first confirm he was available that date!

Our engagement photos were beyond stunning, but more importantly, Bobby made it FUN. Both my husband and I are incredibly nervous and awkward when cameras come out, so we weren’t exactly looking forward to our session. But Bobby instantly put us at ease and reminded us to just be ourselves and the love would show. He’d lead us into the shots and capture the most beautiful candids along the way. We legit fell in love all over again during our engagement shoot, and the results were amazing.

On our wedding day itself, same story. Bobby did a casual prep session leading up to the wedding so he knew what was/wasn’t important to us going into it, and remembered things that I had totally forgotten about. We had a blast and the photos are unreal.
The next day my mom told me that her “favorite person at the wedding was Bobby” (haha thanks mom) and after getting photos and videos back my dad hit the group chat with “Bobby and video guy are the best talent I have seen. What a treasure.”

If he’s available during your date, don’t give it a second thought. Consider yourself lucky and lock him down.

Hands down the best photographer you could ask for

I cannot even express how grateful I am for Bobby. From our engagement photos to the wedding, it was so smooth and so chill. It felt like hanging out with an old friend who just happened to also take INCREDIBLE pictures. You will receive the kind of pictures you thought only existed in museums. He captures love and light in ways that are never forced and always absolutely gorgeous. He picks up on your vibes immediately and goes with the flow, and as someone who had a very lowkey non traditional wedding that was HUGE. He is responsive, so easy to work with, and genuinely cares about what he creates. I hope everyone who wants both a friend and an amazing photographer will find Bobby!!!

Engagement/Wedding!

If you want standard posed pictures, Bobby is not your guy! If you want moments captured naturally by one of the most genuine people, Bobby is the man! He shot our engagement session and introduced some creative ideas—like a beach bonfire—that made for an amazing experience, and the photos turned out unreal! When he recently shot our wedding, my husband and I were surprised by how few pictures we felt we had
taken during the day. But when we saw the sneak peeks, we were blown away! Bobby is not only incredibly talented, but he also has a unique way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was huge for us since we’re not picture people. We’d highly recommend Bobby for anyone looking for timeless, candid photos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
