MEMORIES YOU CAN                    

feel

I specialize in authentic, documentary-style wedding photography in Los Angeles and beyond. My approach captures the real and emotional essence of your love story—creating images that let you relive the joy, beauty, and connection of your wedding day for a lifetime, and share with generations to come.


My approach is to truly connect with you, learning your unique story and building trust, so I can show up as your number one supporter. Whether you’re planning a wedding in Los Angeles, an intimate elopement in Santa Barbara, or a destination celebration in Italy, my goal is to ensure every image reflects how you felt that day, the people that made the day special and all the special details that tell your story without words.

"Rene exceeded my expectations during our engagement shoot! He made us feel so comfortable, confident, gave direction when needed, and guided the shoot with such ease! His eye for detail is so special, and I love seeing him create magic with every shot! He is so quick when shooting, and we received the photos back so fast! We actually booked Rene to shoot our wedding in Hawaii next year, and I can't wait to see how those turn out! Thank you again for making our vision come to life, and looking forward to next year!"
