About

On WeddingWire since 2018


My friends!

I am Bobby.

(And I'm stoked to have you here)

I live in Santa Cruz. Cleveland born and raised-- though I lived in the high mountains of Colorado for almost a decade too--- photographing and snowboarding and kayaking and climbing.

I love looking for the magic and the beauty of the mundane moment. I love that, moment to moment, regardless of what's happening, that there's something extraordinary to be seen.

I’m the owner and founder here at the Deep Light Company, and your main guy behind the lens (although the whole team is rad!)

I love seeing you light up and think our best work comes from the organic, unplanned, and spontaneous good. No posing and forcing— just the ease, your connection and the wildness. Thats where the magic is.

If there’s a body of water near your shoot, I’ll probably be in there neck deep attempting to get some rad image for you.

I’m big into laughter, keeping it light-hearted, looking for flow and the bright side of things— glass perpetually half-full. I also might make some mildly inappropriate ’that’s what she said’ jokes, haha.

I love when everyone is relaxed and themselves and uncensored in front of the camera-- nothing unnatural or repressed--- so that when couples look back, they just remember that fun and that ease, full of laughter and love.

When I’m not editing and shooting and scouting for the strongest, raddest locations for engagements and elopements, I’m probably basking in the sun, drinking copious amounts of tea and meditating.

And if I’m not doing that, you’ll find me surfing or out climbing and bouldering.

Let's capture what makes your hearts beat hardest, together.

And please! I invite you to look at my website at the galleries there, and to fill out that “Book me!” form if you’re inquiring!

Best Photographer We Could Have Ever Asked For

There is a reason Bobby is listed as one of the best reviewed on Wedding Wire, The Knot, and wherever else he has stellar reviews on. He is, without a doubt, the best photographer we could have ever dreamed of hiring. Not only is his eye incredible, he is one of the coolest humans on this planet. My husband and I knew from our first phone call with Bobby that he was who we wanted to share this experience with, from engagements photos to the wedding itself. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera immediately, and he just lets you do your thing and brings out the best in you. Photographing with Bobby was the most fun we could have ever had.
All of our guests at the wedding raved about how cool, calm, and collected Bobby was and were stunned even more once they saw the photos he took of the day. His work is like an editorial from a magazine! You can tell that he really loves what he does for work, and you feel like you are his only client when he is working with you. He even photographed our 200 person wedding by himself and he never once looked tired or worn out!
100/10 would recommend Bobby for all of your photography needs. You will absolutely not regret it.

Incredible Photographer!

Bobby was the perfect photographer for our wedding last month! We instantly clicked with him from the initial consultation and we knew he would deliver on the big day and boy did he!! He completely understood our vision for capturing our wedding day and made the whole photography part feel so seamless and stress free. I am someone who is very awkward in front of the camera and he made the whole thing feel so chill and he captured the day perfectly. Weeks later and I am still in awe of our wedding pictures!

The best photographer!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Bobby for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Bobby brought an air of ease and calm wherever he walked, and it was delightful to watch him blend in with the crowd or nature to get the perfect shot (a friend asked if he ever worked for National Geographic after witnessing Bobby crouch down in the tall grass during our ceremony). He made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot, and the photos reflected it. He was super responsive throughout the entire process and knew just how to arrange the two of us to get some incredible, natural-looking photographs. He delivered photos quickly and efficiently as well. We are so grateful to Bobby for capturing such a special day!
