About this vendor
I believe that your wedding day should be captured as authentically as your love story itself. While I have respect for the grandeur and opulence often associated with many wedding photographers, it's just not my style. I'm not one to fit people and their unique personalities into a predetermined mold.
This is a day that will pass in the blink of an eye but will be etched in your memories for a lifetime. My role is to be there for both of you, providing the attention and support you truly deserve. My purpose is simple: to document the celebration of the deep love shared between two individuals.
As a documentary photographer, I approach your wedding as an event that should be documented as it unfolds naturally. It's an occasion filled with countless remarkable moments, bringing together people who may never share the same room again. My responsibility is to capture as much of this magic as possible for your cherished memories. Throughout my career, I've captured everything from disaster responses to bull riders, bush doctors in the jungle, tradespeople, boxers, dancers, and the innocence of children. My approach is unobtrusive, focusing on genuine, candid emotions and interactions.
When you choose me, you're selecting a photographer who values communication and reliability. I'll tailor a photo package to meet your unique needs, delivering real moments that will stand the test of time. You won't find pretentiousness, pushy upselling, or overly manipulated photos here. Our affordable packages are designed to align with your wishes and expectations.
I'll present your edited photos through an appealing online gallery that you can easily share. Additionally, I offer complimentary assistance when it comes to curating and ordering prints.
Going Home Pictures offers a range of services, including engagement sessions, bridal sessions, elopement photography, documentary videos of your wedding, and availability for rehearsal dinners and anniversaries. Don't hesitate to inquire about our distinctive video approach.
At Going Home Pictures, we believe that love is love. We're here to serve authentic couples all over Southern California and beyond.
Going Home Pictures is based in Sierra Madre, CA, adjacent to Pasadena and Arcadia, CA.

Kirk did a fantastic job capturing our special day! Each picture is a precious memory!
Kirk photographed our engagement photos and wedding ceremony & reception. We felt a bit uneasy going into the engagement photo session, but Kirk met us at a beach that meant a lot ...
to us, and he immediately put us at ease. We loved the black & white photos he took. When our wedding day came, Kirk stayed present but out of the way. He even held my lipstick and a handkerchief for me! The photos were authentic and beautiful, and he helped us order a large archival print and compile beautiful gift albums for my parents and in-laws. Kirk also worked wonders on our video, even though he was our photographer. The videographer we hired never provided an edit. Kirk stepped in to save the day and edited together the footage into an incredible video. I wish I could hire him again, but that wedding was a one-time thing! Maybe I can get him for our renewal vows one day!
We hired Kirk for our daughter's wedding. Kirk arrived early, was courteous, professionally dressed, and attentive. We had a complicated family dynamic going on, but Kirk was right...
on top of things and knew how to handle it when it came time to take some family photos. I really appreciated that -- it took the edge off a potentially awkward situation.
Our daughter ordered some very high quality prints for us (I think with Kirk's help?). The photos were simply beautiful, much higher quality than we could have imagined. Kirk knows how to capture the special moments. I'll always cherish the candid one he took of my daughter and father.
