The Best Classic Wedding Photographers in Santa Ana, CA

With over a decade of experience, I have developed a sense of which moments to listen for. It's in the subtle glances, the shared, heartfelt laughs, and the tender soft touches- the moments that can go unnoticed. My inspiration is drawn from the people surrounding you on your special day. The friends and family who are present to share this moment with you. To witness happiness and excitement on their faces as you make your entrance down the aisle. The feeling you get when you walk into a room full of people you love.

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

Photo JAM is a space where you can feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated. Whether it’s a creative portrait, an engagement or wedding I focus on making the experience easy, fun, and natural.

Hi, I’m Bryan! My love for photography started when I was a kid.

I’m a fun-loving, passion-chasing, curly-headed gal looking at life through a viewfinder. My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second. If I’m not planning my next trip, or dreaming up something to cook for dinner, I’m outside trying to meet my Fitbit step goal. (10k club, anyone?) My latest leap of faith? A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.
