Cinematic Wedding Photography With Heart
Your wedding photographs should be as unforgettable as the day itself: bold, artfully crafted, and rich with genuine moments. It deserves photography that feels like you. Photographs that are timeless, emotionally resonant, and crafted with both artistry and intention.
At PMC Photography, I specialize in creating wedding photography that captures both the warm, vibrant natural moments of your day and the cinematic, bold portraits that belong on the walls of your home. Our style is defined by vibrant, natural color, fine art composition, and storytelling that preserves your day as it truly unfolded.

About Your Photographer
I’m Paul Cooper, a professional wedding photographer in San Diego specializing in cinematic wedding photography that blends artistry with a guided, stress-free experience.
With a background in filmmaking and years of experience documenting weddings across Southern California and beyond, I've built a reputation for creating fine art wedding photography that balances candid storytelling with dramatic, magazine-worthy imagery.
My approach merges artful composition with a calm and unobtrusive presence, allowing you to enjoy the day completely while I preserve what makes it unforgettable. The result is a collection of images that feels refined, yet authentic.
The photographer behind PMC
Wedding Photography That Honors Your Day
My background in film and storytelling inspires my visual style: editorial photojournalism infused with fine art wedding photography sensibilities. Think modern yet timeless, guided yet natural.
Some wedding photographers lean entirely into natural light, while others only create dark, moody editorial portraits. What sets PMC Photography apart is the ability to do both at the highest level, because your wedding day deserves both.
A Signature Style:
Vibrant & Cinematic
My editing stays true to the richness of your day: natural skin tones, vibrant colors, and true-to-life moments.
Direction when you need it, candids when you don’t. It’s about storytelling wedding photography that reflects your personality and preserves the fleeting moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
From sweeping cinematic portraits to quiet in-between moments, my goal is to capture both the grand and the intimate, the beauty and the emotion, so you can relive it all again and again.
The result: a wedding gallery that reflects the full spectrum of your day: joyful, intimate, romantic, and breathtaking.
