Worked with Francisco and his work was amazing! Our couple photoshoot pics came out so nice! Will definitely be working with him in the future! Highly recommend 😊

Francisco was wonderful to work with. Very communicative and helpful when we were struggling during the photo shoot with our 2 year old son. The photos came out beautiful and exactly the style that we were expecting! His agreement and pricing were straight forward.

Every package includes the same soul — only the hours change.

“Pricing is straightforward. What's NOT straightforward is what you get for it — and that matters more than the number.”

Francisco, in person

Not a second shooter, not an associate. The photographer whose work you saw above is who shows up on your day.

Location scouting beforehand

We visit your venue or research city hall and park rules in advance — no surprises with permits or lighting.

Golden-hour timing

We coordinate the timeline around natural light. If your ceremony is at noon, we plan portraits around it.

Gallery in 6–8 weeks

Edited, color-corrected, print-ready. Online gallery you can share with family the same day.

Print release included

Every package. No upsells later for prints or sharing on social media.

Honest follow-up

Questions after delivery — prints, framing, a re-edit? Francisco is your contact, not a service desk.

The packages below differ only in coverage hours and whether you add a cinematic film. Everything above is included in all of them.

2026–2027 Season Rate20% Off

Elopement packages require a 50% deposit to reserve your date. The remaining balance is split into up to two payments, fully settled 2 days before your event. No surprise fees. We personally confirm every booking.

How It Works

Simple from start to finish.

Pick your package

Intimate (4 hrs) or Full Story (6 hrs + film). City hall, park, or venue — you choose. No consultation required.

Lock in with 50%

A deposit of $720–$960 holds your date immediately. Balance due two days before your elopement, split into up to two payments.

We handle the rest

Location scouting, golden hour timing, permit guidance. Day-of, Francisco arrives early and stays until you're done. Gallery in 6–8 weeks.

A few things worth knowing.

You can book without a call. Choose a package, pay the reservation deposit, and your date is locked. We follow up within 24 hours to introduce ourselves properly. If you'd rather talk first, that's the easiest thing in the world — write to us and we'll reply the same day.

The 20% season rate applies to when you book, not when your wedding is. Book by August 31, 2026 and the rate locks in, even if your event is later in 2026 or in 2027. The remaining balance is split into up to two payments and fully settled two days before the event.

You don't need a venue picked yet. Many couples lock in their rate while they're still scouting. As long as you have a general date and area in mind we can move ahead, and figure out the rest together.

Travel inside Southern California — Inland Empire, Orange County, LA, Temecula — is included. Destination events outside the region include a travel fee; we send you an honest number, no guesswork. Deposits are non-refundable but fully transferable to a new date within twelve months.

Sneak peek lands within 48 hours after the wedding. The full gallery follows in 6–8 weeks.
