Dreamy & Nostalgic Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Connection
For the easygoing couples who value unforced moments and timeless legacy, captured with intimacy and heart.
Based in Santa Cruz CA, capturing love stories worldwide.
The Art of Honest Storytelling
My approach is grounded in being present observing moments as they naturally unfold. Instead of directing every detail, I focus on the real emotions, candid interactions between family and friends, and the unforced details that tell the true story of your celebration. With gentle guidance and light prompts, I help you feel confident and at ease in front of the camera. The experience is relaxed yet intentional, blending direction with authenticity so your genuine connection shines through. The result is a collection of photographs that feel alive like the wind on your skin as you drive away in your Corvette, timeless heirlooms you’ll cherish for generations.
I’m Marcus Trawick, a wedding photographer born and raised in Santa Cruz, shaped by the ocean, community, and a love for authentic connection. My work blends artful storytelling with a mix of editorial guidance and documentary honesty—capturing moments that feel as real as they are meaningful. Shooting both digital and film, I create imagery that’s dreamy, intimate, and endearing.
Kind Words From Couples Like You
“We cannot recommend Marcus enough! From the very beginning, I felt like I could completely trust him, and he truly delivered. He listened to my vision and captured it so perfectly for our fairytale wedding on the Big Sur coastline. The way he caught the emotions, the light, and all the little details was pure magic. Thank you Marcus, for beautifully capturing our wedding memories.”
