Hi! My name is Matei. I was born in a family of artists in the heart of Transylvania, Romania. When I was two years I got my hands on my dad's old plastic camera and...everything kind of snowballed from there. Took my first picture when I was six -on film. I studied and received a Master Degree in Fine Art and photography; I also started teaching photography at the University. After moving to California I worked for years as a photojournalist but once I discovered wedding photography have never looked back.
Always loved telling a story through an image. And I love taking pictures of people. In a wedding, everything that I've learned over the years comes together like a puzzle: photojournalism, fine art photography, editorial and portrait photography, all into one. It never ceases to amaze me- with weddings, how everything is old and everything is new again. Everything you think you know you don't as every single couple, every single family and culture bring something new and exciting to the table. The only thing predictable is the unexpected.
I travel a lot shooting weddings and I love it, whether is Continental US, Mexico and Europe.

Those photos you didn't even know I took but truly mean the world to you. And of course some epic portraits thrown in as well.
I cover all of Southern California as well as elopements and weddings all over the west coast. If you value truly genuine photos of how your wedding day really went down, send over an inquiry and let's chat!

Like many veterans, when I left the military I struggled to find purpose again. Searching for a calling, I discovered wedding photography while studying photojournalism in college. I had found my passion! After 11 years of capturing hundreds of weddings I understand what it takes to document the essence of your big day. I go the extra mile to understand your unique needs and values, preserve the fleeting moments, and showcase your wedding with creative, emotional, and authentic photography.
When I'm not photographing awesome couples, you can find me on the golf course, exploring wine country, or sharing time with my wife in the Sacramento delta or in the Sierra mountains.

Chris has had a great love for art since he was a young boy. At age of 15, he earned his first second-hand camera from his father. Since then, he was always "the photographer" among his friends and family. He finally turned this passion into his profession in 2007. Wedding is one of the events Chris loves to shoot. He believes it is one of the most beautiful and joyful event in life, and he understands how every moment, from engagement to the end of the wedding day, means to the couples and their families. Through his artistic eyes and un-obstructive approach, Chris documents these precious moments into elegant, story-telling photographic images that the couples can cherish. Chris is a destination wedding photographer based in the Bay Area, California.

Telling your story and capturing all the emotions and moments during a wedding is the best part of being a photographer. Creating compelling images through creative use of light and composition is the best part of being an artist.
My goal is always to give you unique images that push the art of photography, while not forgetting the tears, laughs, and quivering lips that make your special day uniquely you.

Recent Fearless Award
Based in Mammoth Lakes, California, but traveling the state and the world-my goals are twofold: creating rad outdoor art and capturing real moments with intriguing light and composition. We're going to climb to the top of a mountain and catch last light from 10,000 feet, hike to a deserted beach, crush the ceremony-ending kiss and document the crazy reception hijinks.
