I'm a Kiel.

It's what I am, what I do and what I call myself;

A 26 year-old male of the species,

taker of photographs,

lover of traveling,

eater of painfully spicy foods and dark chocolate,

speaker of Spanish with a distinctly Chilean accent.

Why photography... I love the ability of a good photograph to do more than simply remind you of a day in your life. For me, good photography brings specific moments back to life in the heart and mind of the viewer. My goal in photographing your wedding is to create images that bring you back as close as possible to the living, breathing, real-time experience of your wedding day.

I grew up in a rocky mountain town called Murphys in the beautifully green sticks of Northern California before coming upon the beaches of Santa Barbara and finding no good reason to leave.

The most important person in my world is my goldi-locked sister and natural health guru, Mollee.

Im fascinated by the mind, the brain and existence and by how often the first two argue and disagree about the meaning of the third.

This is who I am so far.
