I’m in the business of
telling your story
Weddings
Capturing the best day of your life, plain and simple. We’ll be there for every moment: Your morning prep, the first kiss, dances with your grandma, beers with the groomsmen, and everything in-between.
Elopements
Sometimes the best ceremonies are the ones without a crowd. We’ll travel across the globe with your and your small wedding party, ready to record an unforgettable time.
Engagement
The big day isn’t the only thing worth recording on film. Tell your friends and family about your engagement in style, with a dedicated photo / video session to document the initial excitement.
CHELSEA + MATT
“When unbelievable talent and skill meets a passionate heart and work ethic, that’s what you get when you work with Ishmael. My husband and I had the immense privilege of working with Ish for our wedding day and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with how everything turned out. He brought our vision to life and far surpassed our wildest dreams for our day!”
My Promise
Dedicated to making
your day special.
Every wedding is entirely unique, and we’ve been in this business long enough to know that it can be nerve-racking to pick your photographer. “Will they do a good job? What if I don’t like their vibe? What if we can’t afford them?” — all valid thoughts, and I’m here to be as transparent and open about my pricing, approach, and style so there’s no surprises when you reach out.

Bridal Session
$1,500 USD
Want to spend a little extra time with that amazing wedding dress? Book a bridal session to capture every detail of the moment, and have a special set of photos to cherish forever.
35mm Film
$1,500 USD
I grew up watching my grandma take photos. I have boxes of her film negatives under my bed. Film is warm and nostalgic. In time of fast pass tech, film makes us slow down and savor the memories we're making.
Engagement Shoot
$800 USD
Get a dedicated photo session for up to two hours in the location of your choosing. Bring a change of clothes, some of your favorite props, and even a bottle of wine to shake the nerves.
Wedding Album
$700 USD
One of my favorite things in life is bringing Art into the tangible real world. Your wedding is special. It deserves to be on display for all to see. Pick it up, reminisce dont let your story be in a forgotten folder on your desktop.
Second Shooter
$1,500 USD
Sometimes having just one angle isn’t enough! Though we’ll capture the big day in it’s fullness, having a second shooter can really give more depth, allowing us to be in two places at once.
Highlight Film
$2,000 USD
Sometimes you need more than 1,000 words to capture the depth of your story. I can help with that. Photography is my passion, but cinema is my first love.
How it works
35mm Analog Film
When you add-on 35mm film to your wedding package you get complete digital coverage as well as scattered moments throughout the day on film. The goal is to use film to enhance the storytelling of your digital files. I always love to get out the retro flash for some fun.
As far as film type, my go-to is Portra 400 or 160 as it seems to pair with my digital photography the best. I find also find the tones to be the nicest. The film type is really up to you though.
The package includes:
Three Rolls of 35mm film*
Developing
Digital Scanned Copies of Images
Original Negatives
100 printed 4x6 images in matte paper
*More can be added but I find this is a good place to start
Highlight Film
Sometimes you need more than 1,000 words to capture the depth of your story. I can help with that. I have found a way to tell your story authentically using two separate mediums. I capture a film highlight while not sacrificing photography coverage in any way.
One shooter means a cohesive style between your photo gallery and wedding film. Take a look at some of my wedding films at the bottom of this page. Both of these couples received photo and video coverage.
The package includes:
1 Videographer
Drone footage - {If permitted}
8 Hours of Coverage
5-7 Minute Highlight Video
