Sed did such an amazing job capturing our special day! All the pictures were amazing and edited beautifully! He was very punctual and helpful since the moment we hired him. Definitely will hire him again!

Vanessa & Ricardo

Sed was fantastic! I had high hopes after seeing his good reviews and great photos online. However, he greatly exceeded my already high expectations. My wedding photos were incredible and we got them back the next day. Sed was such a joy to work with and my guests at the wedding felt the same way. Thank you, Sed! Hope we can work together again!

Rebekah & EJ

Sed was our wedding photographer in July of 22. From initial communication on Thumtack to subsequent conversations leading up to the wedding he was extremely professional. While some of our photos were semi-chorographed, nearly all the photos Sed captured were true to who we really are. I'm super shy in pictures, and while that was obvious, it was also us, beautifully captured. Our wedding was at a beach and it was unexpectedly windy and despite that the photos were still incredible. The wedding party was running behind on time and while I wish we could have captured more photos pre reception, Sed captured the day better than I could have hoped for. The lighting of his photos and editing are unmatched. Thank you, Sed!

Kristina & Cyrus

Sed was amazing at his job! He captured so many good moments and even made sure to include little details like the decor of our wedding. I was able to live through the day again through these photos and cry happy tears again. I felt at ease through the whole process due to his quick responsiveness. Thank you Sed for being amazing and talented!!

I can't help but gush about this breathtakingly intimate wedding that I had the privilege of attending recently. From the moment I stepped into the venue, the atmosphere was palpably charged with the purest form of love and joy, the kind that only a tightly-knit family can emanate. The couple, who were at the heart of this special day, took painstaking efforts to ensure that every element of the celebration reflected the essence of their journey together. They did a wonderful job of creating an environment that was not about pomp and show, but about cherishing the ties of love and family. The venue was adorned with simple yet elegant decorations. It was as if the place was whispering the story of their affection for each other. The floral arrangements were a testament to their shared love for nature, while the soft, warm lights created a cozy and welcoming ambiance that made everyone feel at home. But what truly set this day apart was the couple's constant focus on their bond with their family. They made sure everyone felt included, from the youngest to the oldest. There were games that had everyone laughing and bonding, and quiet moments where you could see the couple mingling with their relatives, sharing private jokes and creating memories. The joy on the faces of the bride and groom was contagious. You could see that they were not just in love with each other, but also with the family that they were now officially part of. Whether they were dancing with their nieces and nephews, sharing a joke with their in-laws, or simply sitting quietly with their parents, their happiness was genuine and infectious. As the day turned into night, the celebration continued under a sky full of stars. The soft glow from the fairy lights, the sweet melody of the love songs, and the couple's radiant smiles created a magical setting that was straight out of a fairy tale. The day was truly a beautiful one, not just because of the perfect weather or the stunning decor, but because of the love and warmth that was shared. It was a day filled with laughter, tears, and plenty of heartwarming moments. It was a day that beautifully encapsulated the essence of love and family, and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it.

Beautiful Wedding at The Golden Dream Ranch Estate

The wedding of Mellanda and Joseph was nothing short of magical. Held at the picturesque Heritage Museum of Orange County, in Santa Ana, California, this joyous occasion was one for the books. The venue, a cultural and natural history center, provided a perfect backdrop for this enchanting ceremony. A romantic blend of history, nature, and love, the day was filled with many memorable moments, but the most memorable of all was when the heavens opened up, blessing the couple with a gentle rain.
&nbsp;
As a wedding photographer, I have seen many beautiful venues, but the Heritage Museum of Orange County is truly unique. It's a place where rustic charm meets California history, creating a stunning setting for any event, but particularly suited for a wedding. The venue is surrounded by lush greenery and features a Victorian mansion, a carriage barn, and a serene rose garden &mdash; all of which made for exceptional photo opportunities.
&nbsp;
The day started with an air of excitement; the sky was overcast, the light was perfect, and the scent of the impending rain was intoxicating. Mellanda, the bride, was radiant. She wore a stunning gown that seemed to capture the essence of the day - elegant, natural, and full of life. Joseph, the groom, looked dashing in his suit, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. As they exchanged their vows, the first drops of rain started to fall, adding a touch of whimsy to the ceremony.
&nbsp;
What stood out to me as a photographer was how the couple embraced the rain. Instead of seeing it as an inconvenience, they welcomed it with open arms. With each droplet, their smiles widened, and their love seemed to deepen. The rain, the smells of the wet earth, the gentle rustle of the leaves, all of these elements combined to create a truly magical atmosphere.
&nbsp;
The reception that followed was filled with laughter, tears, and an abundance of love. The rain gave way to a beautiful rainbow, making for some fantastic photos and a joyous end to a perfect day.
&nbsp;
Reflecting on Mellanda and Joseph's wedding day, it was a beautiful reminder that love isn't just about the sunny days. It's about embracing the storms and finding beauty in the unexpected. The rain didn't dampen their day; instead, it enhanced it, making for some unforgettable memories and some truly beautiful photos.
&nbsp;
As a wedding photographer, I'm privileged to witness the start of a couple's journey in marriage. Mellanda and Joseph's wedding was a testament to their love and the adventure that lies ahead for them. It was an honor to capture these precious moments, and I wish them all the love and happiness in their future together.

The Redwood Patch at Carbon Canyon Regional Park set the scene for a truly special family photo session. As the photographer, I had the privilege of capturing heartfelt moments among the towering redwoods that make this location so unique.
From the playful energy of the kids to the warm nostalgia shared by the adults, every moment was framed by the serene beauty of this one-of-a-kind spot. The redwoods provided the perfect backdrop for timeless family portraits, combining natural elegance with meaningful memories.
If you&rsquo;re looking for a photographer to capture your family&rsquo;s story, the Redwood Patch at Carbon Canyon is one of my favorite spots for its charm and character. Let&rsquo;s create something unforgettable together!
