I am a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California. To me it is important the people I work with feel well taken care of every step of the way. I love true emotions and that is what I am looking for when I capture weddings and elopements. Every love story is special and I take pride in carving out what makes yours so unique.
My approach is simple: You are the center of attention - and so are all the details that make your day genuinely extraordinary. I pose when it helps you while not staging anything unnatrually. I observe and capture what I see. My style is natural, authentic and true to how your day felt for those honored to be a part of it.
My prompts for you are simple and easy to follow when neccessary. I don't want you to think, I want you to feel. That's what your day is all about.
($375 Value)

"As we do not often take photos of ourselves, we were really awkward at first, but Max made us feel comfortable straight away, and the photos reflect the fun we had that afternoon. On the wedding day, he was a very calming energy reassuring everything is on schedule and looking great. We are so glad that we entrusted Max with documenting our wedding day and 100% recommend Max for yours - or any other occasion! You will love your experience and of course the pictures!!!"

"Max did a phenomenal job throughout wedding weekend. He captured our rehearsal dinner, first look, bridal/groom party preparations, group photos, ceremony and reception, all with the utmost professionalism and—most importantly— beautiful photos that perfectly captured the essence of our wedding."

"We are thrilled in our decision to choose Max to photograph our wedding. Max is a great communicator, skilled photographer and all around fun guy to be with, but most of all he was adaptable. After all of our planning leading up to the wedding it ended up raining all day. Not only was he proactive in scouting out alternative First Look locations but he used the weather conditions to his advantage and created truly memorable photos we’ll always cherish."
