Hi, I'm Dakota

The photographer and filmmaker behind OC Wedding Photos.

Groom kissing his bride's forehead through her lace veil at dusk

I grew up on a farm, and I got my first camera young. It turned into a lifelong habit of noticing the small, quiet moments that are easy to miss when you are busy living them.

Today I photograph and film weddings across Orange County and beyond. I also shoot live events and concerts with several cameras at once, which is where the multicam approach in my wedding films comes from.

On a wedding day you will find me mostly in the background, then stealing you away for twenty minutes when the light turns gold.
