MILITARY CEREMONY PHOTOGRAPHY IN CALIFORNIA  & MADRID

Military personnel in camouflage uniforms gather outdoors during a daytime event.

Celebrating military career milestones with your loved ones. 

From promotion ceremonies, homecomings, and retirements- I document it all.

Military ceremonies represent years of dedication, sacrifice, and leadership. From promotions and retirements to change-of-command ceremonies, these milestones deserve to be documented with clarity and care.


I provide professional military ceremony photography in California and (beginning Summer 2026) Rota, Spain, capturing not just the formal proceedings, but the pride, emotion, and legacy behind each moment.

 

As an active duty military spouse, I have experience photographing military events. I understand the structure, pacing, and significance of these ceremonies, ensuring nothing important is missed.

FAQ

Do you have base access?

Yes, I am an active duty spouse and have base access to most bases. However, for flight lines or secured areas, please reach out to your command for approval.

Do you photograph indoor and outdoor ceremonies?

Yes! I am comfortable shooting in both types of settings. However if it is indoor I ask that you please let me know where the location will be and what the lighting situation will be like so I can plan accordingly.

2-4 week turnaround time. If you choose the Legacy package you will get bumped up on my priority list.

How far in advance should we reserve our ceremony date?

Military ceremony dates can fill quickly, especially during promotion and retirement seasons. I recommend inquiring as soon as your date ins confirmed.

I photograph military ceremonies in California and will be serving in Rota, Spain, beginning in the summer of 2026. Availability is limited.
