Southern California Wedding + Elopements
Thanks for visiting! My name is David A. Smith, and I’d love to photograph your intimate micro-wedding + elopement celebration in beautiful Southern California. That means places like Los Angeles, Pasadena, Malibu, the San Fernando Valley, Orange County, Santa Barbara, Temecula, the Inland Empire, Palm Springs, and San Diego!
My wedding + elopement photography creative style is best described as real moments with an alternative approach and a cinematic presentation. I’ve been providing this to couples since 2010! I’m also happy to shoot a hybrid of digital and film photography.
Most importantly, though, I want to make sure you have a wonderful experience on what should be one of the happiest days you’ll ever have.

While I have photographed lots of big weddings over the years, what I really enjoy doing most is photographing small and intimate micro-weddings and elopements.
This is because the couple can really focus on what’s important, their love for each other, and spending time with those that are special to them, instead of having to worry about a million things at once.
That’s why I’d love to document your intimate micro-wedding or adventurous elopement anywhere in Southern California!
I want to focus on you and your partner while also making sure you have an absolutely wonderful day.

I’ve been a wedding + elopement photographer since 2010, and I take pride in the fact that I can also help coordinate a wedding for my couples.
If you need any assistance in planning, vendor selection, travel arrangements, scheduling, or any other situation that might arise, I’m here to assist.
Southern California has such beautiful locations that I don’t want you to worry about anything. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy this incredibly special time.
I’m here every step of the way for you and your partner!

Ever since I started doing wedding + elopement photography professionally in 2010, I’ve wanted to tell the entire story of my clients.
That means I will not impose a time limit on your wedding + elopement day.
You give me a start time, and I’m there until all the events of the day and/or reception are covered.
Because I’m devoting my attention to the entire day, and am usually traveling to document your celebration, I cannot offer pricing by the hour. Everything is based on a full day’s coverage, regardless.

EVERYONE is welcome here. I am proud to be an inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly wedding + elopement photographer and am proud to work with any couple that would like me to photograph their special day.
Love is love, plain and simple. I do not believe in discrimination and will not support it.
