Based in California’s Wine Country, Ken documents weddings with a refined, story-driven approach shaped by natural light and landscape. Known for his calm presence and intuitive timing, he photographs with an emphasis on authenticity, thoughtful composition, and an intentional approach that quietly defines each image and celebration. His work is unobtrusive and observant—allowing couples to remain fully present while their story unfolds naturally.

Before specializing in weddings, Ken built a distinguished photographic career documenting iconic musicians and professional sports, including MLB, NFL, NBA, mountain biking, and big-wave surfing at Mavericks. His work has appeared in numerous publications across both the sports and wedding industries, including the cover of Bike Magazine’s 25th Anniversary book honoring the most iconic cycling images of the past 25 years. He was also recognized by Photo District News for excellence in wedding photography. His photographs are held in the permanent collections of both the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame and the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown—an enduring reflection of his dedication to the craft.

Today, Ken brings that depth of experience to weddings throughout California Wine Country and beyond. Inspired by natural beauty and genuine connection, he creates imagery that is timeless, cinematic, and deeply personal—photographs meant to be felt as much as seen, and treasured for generations.

Timeless wedding imagery shaped by light, story, and place.
