Think golden sun, epic rock formations, and wide-open skies, the heart of a true desert adventure. Whether you’re hiking through Joshua Tree’s jumbo rocks, wandering the Glamis Sand Dunes at sunset, or taking in the surreal views at Badwater Basin in Death Valley, the desert is where boho dreams meet wild, unforgettable moments.
"Peter made our shoot feel so fun and comfortable — the little touches meant everything."
"Peter was professional, creative, and instantly got our vision. As first-timers in front of the camera, he made us feel totally at ease and kept things fun. He came prepared with a full plan, helped set the vibe, and captured the most stunning sunset photos in Joshua Tree. We were blown away by the sneak peeks the next day and how fast we got our full gallery. We can’t wait to book him for our wedding next!"

"We don’t see them just like photos — but instead a perfect representation of us and our love story."
"Peter made us feel instantly comfortable — like hanging out with a friend who just happened to have a camera. He captured real, emotional moments we didn’t even realize were happening. What meant the most was how much he genuinely cared and never rushed us. The photos are stunning, but the experience itself was unforgettable.
If you’re thinking about working with Peter — do it. You won’t just get beautiful photos — you’ll get memories you’ll treasure forever."

If you're into epic red rock backdrops, snow-capped mountains, and cacti taller than you, the Southwest is your vibe.

"We cherish the photos you took and constantly get compliments on them!"
"After our wedding was canceled in 2020, we struggled to find a photographer whose style felt right — until we found Peter. His photos were vibrant, full of life, and exactly what we were looking for. He was kind, professional, and even hiked with us in Lake Tahoe to make it happen. We constantly get compliments and will cherish these memories forever."
Cynthia & Scott
"Peter made the whole experience feel effortless — and the photos turned out absolutely stunning."
"Peter made everything feel easy and natural — from timeline planning to shooting. The photos were even better than we imagined, with the soft, romantic vibe we’d hoped for. His wife joined too and brought such a warm, fun energy. We recommend Peter to everyone we know."
