hi, I'm eddie
My love for photography began when i was 13-years old. I spent my early years looking through a viewfinder, carrying a camera with me as if it were an extension of my own body. I began photographing weddings in 2016, and with every passing year, my passion for this art has only grown deeper.
I strive to document life the way i first learned to see it as that 13-year-old kid behind the camera: Purely, honest and without forcing what isn't there. Im drawn to the realness and imperfection of people.
It is an incredible privilege to preserve such meaningful memories and the love shared between two people. My approach is simple: you don't have to perform for the camera. You simply have to be yourself and experience the moment. I'll be there to observe, anticipate and document your story as it naturally unfolds.

MY "WHY"
In 2022, I lost my grandmother. It was my experience in witnessing both the joy in having her in my life and such awful loss that I understood first-hand the importance of preserving moments between loved ones as authentically as they occur. That is why on your special day, my goal is to document the laughter, the tears, and the split-second surprises in a way that honors the beauty of your celebration in total depth.
eating pizza. I'm not kidding, I could have pizza from breakfast, lunch, and dinner and never get sick of it.
relaxing at the beach, watching the waves.
Hiking California. I've been working on sections of the Pacific Crest Trail, a trail that spans 2,650 from Mexico to Canada, since 2020. I'm far from finishing, but I hope to one day.

"Where to begin. Working with Eddie is nothing I’ve ever experienced with any other photographer before. Eddie is the most personal, genuine and just professional photographer. My husband is very introverted and so to get a photographer he felt comfortable with was just a blessing! Eddie made us feel confident, comfortable and excited during every session! It’s such a fun experience and one that I always look forward to when I book with Eddie! He has captured the moments that we will cherish forever."

"I cannot recommend Eddie enough! My husband and I first met him when he took our Christmas card photos back in 2020 and we loved him. After we got engaged, we knew we wanted Eddie as our wedding Photographer. This was the best decision we ever could have made!! Not only was he a STELLAR wedding photographer, he also played a role in coordinating, timeline and was there for my husband and I as a friend. He really pays attention to details and never misses a single moment. He took care of me on my wedding day, calmed my nerves, made sure I was feeling my best & hyped me up while taking photos. Although he was feeling under the weather that day, he still worked an 11 hour day and did not complain one bit. Eddie, thank you for doing what you do!!!"

"Eddie is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing person to work with. My husband can be a little camera shy, but Eddie turned that around on our wedding day and my husband ENJOYED taking photos. I recommend Eddie if you are looking for a photographer. He generates beautiful pictures and stunning, natural moments in between those snapshots."

"Eddie is such a gem! I have (my husband will laugh and agree) insanely high standards. And after dozens of professional shoots, I have finally met someone who cares about creating outstanding photos as much as I do. The eye for beautiful angles, the attention to details, and the ability to make you feel like you are having the best time…that is hard to find in one single person and yet Eddies flawlessly checks all the boxes.
These photos are now my most prized memories and I will treasure them forever (and will also book Eddie for all my future photography needs!)".
"These photos are NOW my most prized memories, I'LL treasure them forever".
