Adventurous Wedding Photography by Michael Der

Wedding Photography Portfolio

I’m a California wedding photographer serving San Francisco, the Bay Area, and beyond, specializing in capturing natural, authentic, and down-to-earth love stories. My approach is relaxed and candid, focusing on real connections that create natural poses organically. From coastal elopements and vineyard weddings to backyard celebrations, I highlight the genuine laughter, energy, and emotion that make your day unforgettable. For couples who want wedding photography that feels honest, timeless, and true to who they are, I deliver images that preserve every meaningful moment.
