About Me & My Approach To Wedding Photography on The Central Coast

Complete with a 2 year college education in Commercial Photography, 16 years working professionally & MARRIED TO THE BEST BRIDAL MAKEUP ARTIST-HAIRSTYLIST ON THE CENTRAL COAST—Peer has worked side-by-side for the biggest names in Fashion & Advertising Photography on the West Coast, (including assisting fashion photog genius James Russell for 2 years).

With years of professional training in photography, lighting, retouching, & color correction, Peer has shot commercial assignments for demanding clients in New York, Miami, Atlanta & Los Angeles and he has directed catalogs with budgets over $100,000 with revenue into 8 figures. It is this experience that has taught him to listen carefully to his clients needs. He is an accomplished Professional Wedding Photographer yet Bride's consistently say one of the best things is his easy-going and fun attitude! He has genuine enthusiasm for you & the overall success of your wedding day!

His wife of 10 years, Rhonda Johnson, is a top-notch Hollywood Makeup Artist-Hair Stylist who has worked for the prestigious Cloutier Agency on catalogs for Lands End, Disney, Mattel Toys & on prime time television shows (including 6 years of the Academy Awards). It is this close relationship that Peer shares with his wife which gives him invaluable insight into how to combine the best; light, makeup, hair, lenses & wardrobe.

He is well versed in the numerous photographic techniques used in Photojournalistic, Fashion, Catalog & Traditional Wedding Photography today, but likes to keep his photographic presence as low-key & easy-going as possible. This allows you to enjoy you're big day & savor the special moments while knowing you're in the hands of a seasoned professional.

My goal is to give you the same quality used by top Photographers in the Advertising-Fashion Photography Arena while strategically helping you get through the day. I accomplish this by utilizing techniques learned behind the camera & on jobs for global brands like Architectural Digest Magazine, Jockey & Mattel Toys (where I met my talented wife Rhonda Johnson).

Peer is a 5-Year Central Coast Resident & is Familiar with most Central Coast Wedding Venues!

Upon booking a date I will work with you one-on-one to make sure your needs are met! Certified by "Here Comes The Guide" - verified reviews by 15 recent Brides & 15 industry pro's. As well as 2010 Wedding Wire ratings of 5 stars (the highest possible rating) from 12 brides.
