About Golden Lens Media

Golden Lens Media

Lead Photographer

Hi, I’m Calder, a wedding photographer based in San Diego. I specialize in capturing genuine, timeless moments with a mix of candid emotion and elegant detail. My goal is to tell your story in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and uniquely you. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a big celebration, I’m here to make sure every memory is preserved with care. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

What sets me apart is my eye for emotion, attention to detail, and expert Photoshop skills. If you love how you look in a photo but someone else blinked, don’t worry, I can fix it. My edits are seamless and natural, enhancing every image while preserving its authenticity. I capture real moments, then refine them to perfection so you get timeless photos where everyone looks their best.

We liked that Calder didn’t try to oversell anything. He showed up, did the work, and gave us a great set of memories to look back on. He also gave us an engraved usb with our names and all the edited photos which we loved.
Highly Recommend Calder for Natural photography

We didn’t want anything too posed or fake-looking, and Calder totally got that. He kept things casual and still delivered solid photos. We’d definitely recommend him to friends getting married.

Typically, couples book me about 2-3 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

I prefer to have one assistant photographer for at least the duration of the ceremony. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.

Yes, but one of my team members will handle all things video.

If it's in budget I am happy to edit all the photos. I offer budget friendly packages with minimal editing as well as packages where every photo will be edited. I try to be as flexible as possible with my packages so I can offer exactly what you're looking for!

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 2-3 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a custom engraved USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints. If you're looking to expedite photo delivery just let me know and we can discuss additional fees.

You can expect roughly 75 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. If you can provide a hard drive I am happy to give you all raw photos taken at no extra cost.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my 8 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in and help you can find the perfect replacement.
