Meet Tony & Nicole

Balance, energy & unrushed storytelling

When we're not behind our cameras, you'll find Tony on the tennis court coaching and playing, and Nicole — a certified yoga teacher — on the mat. That shared love of movement, breath and focus shapes how we photograph weddings.

Tony brings an athlete's eye for anticipation and calm, easy direction, honed over 19+ years and 500+ weddings across the Bay Area and abroad. Nicole brings a grounding presence that helps couples relax and simply be in the moment.

As life partners, we work together without words, so every angle is covered.

Preserving Room for What Matters Most

As a couple documenting couples, we believe deep connection requires presence and time. To give each love story the warmth, intention, and artful detail it deserves, we are welcoming 15 more couples into our 2027 calendar. Let's capture the moments that feel like home.

Love notes from our couples

5.0 stars on Yelp & WeddingWire

★★★★★

Like a wedding magazine

“If I could give 10 stars I would! They made my wedding photography goals come true and made my husband and I very comfortable. The photos! Oh the photos! It's as if I am looking at an ad for a wedding magazine. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, talented and there solely for your day, Tony is your man!”
Bride · Yelp review

★★★★★

Above and beyond

“Tony is wonderful — extremely professional and organized. I actually had guests tell me how nice my photographer was. We only contracted him for 6 hours at the venue, but he came early to the hotel to get extra shots of the girls getting ready. If you want gorgeous pictures and a photographer that makes you feel special, book him.”
Bride · Yelp review

★★★★★

Teasers in three days

“We met with a few photographers, but Tony stood out from them all. He's talented, down to earth, organized and passionate. His assistant was wonderful — she even danced with us and our guests! Tony sent us teaser photos just 3 days after our wedding. We highly recommend them.”
Bride · Yelp review

★★★★★

Wedding & beach shoot

“Tony was great, very professional and easy to work with. He took our wedding photos and then did a photo shoot on the beach. The pictures turned out wonderful, we still look at them regularly. We highly recommend Tony and his services, you won't be disappointed.”
Couple review

★★★★★

Great photo intuition

“We were very impressed by his professionalism and enthusiasm to get great pictures throughout the night. My friends even commented that they had never seen a photographer stay so involved throughout the entire wedding. Despite being so involved, he stayed very much in the background so we could focus on having fun. And in the moments where we felt a good shot was present, he was already there. He was even willing to get dirty and lie down for shots — in a Tom Ford suit!”
Couple review

★★★★★

Completely above and beyond

“He drove all over San Jose to photograph my husband and me getting ready at separate locations, followed us to the ceremony, then came home with us for the tea ceremony. Instead of taking a break, he put together a beautiful slideshow for our reception, and even printed cards with our engagement photos for guests to take home. He is hard working, easy going, and his photos are amazing — they capture the essence of the moment!”
