I have no secrets.

I would love to work for you. 

I'll even work for FREE !

I have been a full-time, Professional Photographer, for more than 30 years.  I provide my photography services for Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, Special Events, Debutante Balls, Quinceaneras and Private Parties. 

I have personally photographed more than 4,000 events throughout all of Southern California, including;  Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County,   Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Long Beach.

I have photographed Represenatives from the White House, Congress, Senates, huge Corporations, small Businesses, prestigious Law Firms, National Organizations and thousands of families, just like yours. 

Generally, I work alone, unless the event is too large or the timeline is too compact for me to cover the bases myself.  Most wedding-type events only need 1 photographer.   However, if need be, I can partner with 1-4 additional professional photographers to complete your assignment.

I am fast, quiet, obsessively detail-oriented, emotional and deadline-aware. I know how to politely work with people like you, your parents and your children. You can feel comfortable with me working around your boss, co-workers, closest friends and dearest family. 

I am a Small Event Specialist. 

I have single-handedly photographed huge, complex, week-long Corporate Special Events, with multiple locations, 24-hour schedules, 3,000 VIP Presenters, huge entertainment productions, on-stage pyrotechnics, Presidential and Corporate Leader-type guests and more than 15,000 pictures taken. 

However, I really enjoy the more intimate, quietly-emotional, private, romantic moments at small, family affairs.

I'm not a "diva" with an attitude problem.

This is not just my business, it's my life.

Just "single left click" on the navigation boxes  (on the Top/Right side and at the BOTTOM of every page)  to get to the pages, pictures, prices and general information you need. 

Your beautiful Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Special Event, Quinceanera, Debutante Ball and Private Party pictures will look better than anything you have ever seen. 

As a Professional Photographer, I use the best, Medium-format, commercial-quality camera equipment in the world . 

My equipment must be reliable and dependable because I cover all of all of Southern California, including;  Orange County,  Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Long Beach, Los Angeles County, San Diego County,   Riverside County and San Bernardino County.

I use 3 Medium-format, Hasselblad H1 cameras and a Noblex Panoramic camera. 

I don't use the smaller, less-expensive, 35mm cameras because 35mm cameras  have always produced lower quality pictures.

Any Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Special Event, Quinceanera, Debutante Ball or Private Party picture EVER taken with a 35mm camera would have looked better if it had been taken with a $25,000.00 Hasselblad H1 camera system.

I shoot Fuji, Medium-format, high-definition, low-contrast, portrait-grade, 4-layer, NPH & NPZ Film.

Also, I shoot with the $35,000.00, 22-million pixel, Phase One, P25, Digital "Back", attached to my Hasselblad H1. 

My camera tools are not amateur-level toys.

Even though I use the best Digital system in the world, I still prefer to use Medium-format film for all of my people-related assignments.  

I can rely on film to produce deep, rich, skin tones, a wider "dynamic exposure range" and better overall quality people pictures. 

I will shoot your event with either high-definition film or my 22-million pixel digital "Back". 

This will be YOUR choice.

My shooting style changes with each of my assignments.  With my personal guidance, my client-families tell me exactly what they want shot. 

I use personality-based, classic poses to frame and feature the best parts of my models.  My personal cameo-candids are great because they feature just one or two people at a time, in a controlled but still emotional moment.  Journalism is simply shooting what is happening with no interaction, at all, with the subjects in the shot.  I use all of these styles at every event. 

I let people be themselves and then I help them polish their "look".  I know how to help people relax and I enjoy helping people look good. 

I will show you all of the little tips and tricks that the sexy models use (men and women).   

 It will be my pleasure.

I am available for Destination Events.

While my Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Special Event, Debutante Ball, Quinceanera and Private Party services are available to all of all of Southern California, Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego,   Riverside, San Bernardino, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Long Beach.

I am available for  Nation-wide Destination Events.

My prices are the same, no matter where I work.  Just get me there and back.  The rest will cost the same.  I don't charge extra for food, beverages or lodging.

I don't have any complicated or expensive packages

I understand that everyone has a tight budget.

I use a simple, easy-to-estimate Time and Materials basis. 

My Price

It is not so much "what it costs" but more "what you get".  The true value of something exceeds the actual price charged.  It extends into the very essence of how well it is made.

You don't need to spend a lot to get a lot.

I charge $150.00 per hour, with a 4-hour minimum.  I bill per quarter-hour.  If you need 6.5 hours, it will cost 6.5 x $150.00 = $975.00 for my time.

I also charge for the amount of film, lab services, discs and prints produced, at a total combined cost of $1.56 per picture TAKEN.  If you want me to shoot 800 pictures, it will cost 800 x $1.56/e = $1,248.00 for your pictures.

You'll receive and own everything !

I average 75 to 200 pictures TAKEN, per hour, depending on the type of event and the number of activities or guests.

I can shoot thousands of deliberate, measured, meaningful, emotional, professional-grade pictures at any event.  Or, I can shoot just a few hundred.  Every event is unique.  With my guidance, this will be your decision.

You'll decide exactly how much time and how many pictures you'll need.  I work with fixed budgets all the time.  Tell me what you want to spend and what you'll want to receive. 

You'll own all of your negatives and digital files. You'll be able to work directly with my Professional Photo Lab, PCI, to get the best possible pictures, in the shortest possible time, for the least amount of money. 

Your beautiful, professional, numbered, matte-surfaced, Fuji Crystal Archive, low-contrast, Portrait-grade, sharp,  8x10 prints will only cost $9.00/each. 

You will receive and keep all of your processed and scanned, high-definition, Medium-format Fuji Film,  all of your 7mb, 300dpi, sRGB, 8bit, TIFF, high-definition Digital files and all of your beautiful, 4"x5", Fuji, Crystal Archive, Photographically-printed, Proof Prints. 

If I shoot your event digitally, you'll receive all of your original RAW files, all of the processed 300dpi, sRGB, 8bit files (1mb 4x5 JPEG's, 7mb 4x5 TIFF and 85mb 11x14 TIFFs) and all of your beautiful 4"x5" Proof Prints.
