We cherish your memories!
Our first priority is to preserve your precious wedding images. As our photographers are documenting your wedding day, the camera is saving your images on two separate independent memory cards, in case one card fails. If any part is going to fail the memory cards are the most likely point so we take great care in making sure that each camera has the second card writing on the spot as we shoot. We also backup all of our images in multiple locations, so you can rest assured that your images are safe and can be accessed anytime by the studio.
Customized Albums
Unlike most photo studios, you are able to select which images appear in the album. You will be able to communicate with the studio which photos you want, what retouching you want done, and how the layout will look like in the album. No other studio takes the time to make sure your album is perfect.
Location, Location, Location
Our 6000 sq ft. studio gallery is located near the 405, 91, 110, and 105 freeways in Historic Downtown Torrance close to many of the most picturesque locations in all of Southern California!
Vendors like us!

Our studio gallery is one of the largest portrait studios in California!
In our over 30 years in business, we have photographed over 3,500 weddings and have grown to be one of the largest studios in California. Since we own our 6,000 sq. ft building outright, we are not governed by a lease. You have the security of knowing that you can build a long lasting relationship with great photographers that you can put your confidence in long after the wedding is complete. We are a full service studio with two camera rooms and a great locale with many portrait spots within walking distance of the studio.

We photograph family portraits, babies, children, senior high portraits, headshots, photo restorations, and commercial photography.
