Be present. I'll handle the rest.
I offer elopement coverage and full wedding day coverage. Most couples book 8 to 10 hours because it covers their full day without stressing about the clock.
I don't work in strict time blocks. If things run long or you want more time for portraits, that's fine.
My approach is observational. I document what's happening naturally, but I'll guide you lightly when it helps. Suggesting better light, a stronger position, a small adjustment. You won't feel directed, but your photos will be both honest and compositionally strong.
What I Offer
Every proposal is built around your specific day.
Full coverage of your wedding day, from getting ready through the reception, with a second photographer so both sides of the day are documented. Your engagement session is included, giving us time to work together before the big day. I shoot a mix of 35mm film and digital throughout, so your gallery holds both.
Wedding coverage begins at $6,500.
The full weekend documented, from your rehearsal dinner through your wedding day, with a second photographer and your engagement session included. I shoot a mix of 35mm film and digital throughout, so nothing from the weekend is missed.
Coverage begins at $9,500.
Coverage begins at $2,000.

The Intimate
Your full gallery arrives within 6 to 8 weeks, individually edited to match my style.
04.
For family photos and portraits, I give clear direction to keep things moving. For everything else, I let moments happen.
03.
I move quietly and stay out of the way. I'm capturing what's happening without interrupting it. Most of the time you won't notice me.
02.
I arrive early to get familiar with the space and introduce myself to your people. The less of a stranger I am before things start, the more natural everything looks on camera.

how i work
How long until we receive our gallery?
Within 6 to 8 weeks of your wedding day.
How would you describe your style?
I pay close attention to light and frame each moment with intention. I offer direction when it helps, but mostly I watch what's happening and compose around it as it unfolds.
We're not photogenic or comfortable in front of the camera, is that okay?
Completely. Most of my couples feel this way at first. My job is to make you comfortable before we even start shooting.
Do you shoot film?
Yes, a mix of 35mm film and digital throughout every wedding and session.
Do you travel?
Yes. I'm based in Southern California and travel for weddings near and far.

"Choosing Aeson as our photographer was the best decision we made! Every single photo is beyond perfect, and we couldn’t be happier. His attention to detail and ability to capture real, candid moments is unmatched. Honestly, he was worth every penny, and the memories he’s given us are priceless"
Professionally printed albums with archival-quality materials. We design it together and you get three rounds of revisions to get it right.
A good option if you want physical prints without managing the printing and design yourself. The print quality is noticeably better than a consumer print shop.
Typical turnaround is 8 to 10 weeks after we finalize the design.
Starting at $1300
Albums
Wedding
Every image is individually edited to match my style. Clean, consistent, and true to how the day actually looked.
After your wedding, I go through each photo and adjust color, light, and exposure. It's a detailed process, which is why delivery takes 6 to 8 weeks.
You'll receive high-resolution files for printing and optimized files for sharing online, all delivered through a password-protected gallery that stays active permanently.
EDITING
Photo
For couples who want portraits outside of a wedding day. Works well as an engagement session before your wedding, or as a way to document where you are right now. An anniversary, a new chapter, or no reason at all.
There's no timeline to manage and no one pulling you away. Just 1 to 2 hours at a location that makes sense for you, capturing candid moments and portraits.
