I'm a wedding, engagement, and portrait photographer based in the heart of Northern California. Perhaps that's why I've built my career around storytelling. I use my camera to tell the story of your wedding, your relationship, or the people who matter most to you. Six years of experience and a heart full of empathy mean that I'll craft your images with the care of an old friend.
And I'll keep you laughing. More amazing than I could have imagined. From the first conversation to getting our photos they were super responsive, professional, and just a joy to work with. They were extremely flexible and adaptive to the many different environments, changes in timeframe, a sick groom and even a couple dogs.

Your wedding day will be one of the most cherished days of your life. It may be an elopement far from home, or a celebration with all the people that matter most. Thousands of once-in-a-lifetime moments will spark to life as you step together into marriage. So let's work together and create wedding photography that captures those moments brilliantly.
If there's anything you're certain about, it's the life that you draw from each other. Now that you're engaged, you're looking for engagement photography that shows just how you feel about each other. Maybe you're looking for pre-wedding romance in front of epic vistas. Maybe you need some light-hearted engagement photography for your save-the-date cards.
You know what looks best on you? Your guard down, in the middle of a laugh, clinging to the ones you love, and smiling without reservation. I capture portrait photography in these sorts of moments. And I'll make these images on-location in and around the greater Sacramento area. So whether it's family photos, senior portraits, maternity or newborn images, or even professional headshots, I'll capture you at your best.
Photographing your celebration means I'll sniff out all the little details of the day. From the deep emotion of getting ready, to THE KISS, to uninhibited dancing out on the floor. And when I'm not capturing candid moments, I'll guide you into making some romantic portraits. It's not just my job but my passion to tell your story as beautifully and creatively as possible.
If photography allows you to freeze a moment in time, engagement photography preserves some of life's most wide-eyed moments. This is your chance to play in the great outdoors, explore urban sprawl or just get cozy at your own place. Dress to impress or stay casual. Heck, gear up in your favorite superhero outfits if you'd like.

I can’t recommend PJ at Fits and Stops Photography enough! His website is great because it gives all the info you need right there AND you can book online. PJ does a great job at making even the most camera shy person feel comfortable and at ease. He is so friendly, genuinely nice, and easy to work with that the whole experience is very enjoyable. He edits photos quickly, and his pricing is very reasonable for incredibly high quality images. We’ve hired him twice (maternity and family sessions) and really loved all our photos in both sessions. We have recommended PJ to numerous people, and

My husband and I used PJ for both our engagement and wedding photos. Not only was he professional and responsive to all emails, inquiries and questions, he was friendly and funny to make the days fun. PJ really has an eye for making our day special and creating a story through photos to remember the day. I'm so glad we now have those photos to cherish forever. Would highly recommend PJ and his team for anything photo related! A big plus for us, PJ is bilingual too!

PJ is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is incredibly responsive to questions. He is outgoing and makes everyone feel comfortable during shoots (even got our 1.5 year old to smile!) Most importantly, his photos are beautiful and I am always amazed with his speedy turnaround! I would absolutely recommend Fits and Stops Photography!

We love PJ, and have loved getting to know him through our wedding planning process. We now consider him a friend!
When we initially started interviewing photographers, my now-husband fell in love with PJ's personality and style almost instantly (I wish I could say that is how he fell in love with me....).PJ shoots with natural lighting so beautifully and upon speaking with him over the phone...we knew he was the right fit for us.
We first met PJ in person when we did our engagement shoot in September 2019. He instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos turned our natural and were

PJ is one of the best photographer! Not only does he produce amazing photos, but helped me remain calm through my wedding changes due to COVID. We were able to do an engagement session with him before COVID and loved his work. We got those within 3-4 days. He made my husband a superstar. His prices are so reasonable. He is responsive and a hard working fellow. He is the definition of everyone looks for in a photographer. My husband and I trusted him with our photographer needs. He was able to get all our wedding photos to us within 8 days! He's a wizard! I can't wait to work with him in the future

We are so glad we found P.J. from Fits and Stops Photography. From the early planning stages, he was attuned to our needs and photographic wishes. Prior to booking him for the wedding, we did an engagement photo session with him. We were very happy with his professionalism, creativity, and fun personality. He had the photos to us quickly and we were so happy with his work that we booked him for our wedding. He created a custom wedding photo package tailored to our photography needs.

I really do appreciate PJ. We ended up having a really small wedding that was quite different than originally planned due to COVID. PJ really helped make our small quirky wedding that much better. Not only is PJ professional and really strove to capture the pictures we wanted, but he is also fun! He has a great personality and made everyone laugh.
One thing that I am so thankful for is the fact that he captured the whole story of that day. The pictures really walk through what happened and the emotions that were felt. I will treasure these pictures now and forever.
Thank you, PJ, for making our

What can I say about P.J. and his wife Erica? My wife and I had the pleasure of having P.J. as a photographer for both our engagement and wedding sessions. We have little to no experience with photography or what to look for, making the search for a photographer stressful. I found P.J. through a friend and got the opportunity to chat with him through web cam. Immediately, I could tell that he was such an easy going, knowledgeable, and passionate person about photography. Even more so than the skills of a photographer are the vibe and good relationship you have with them, and P.J. and Erica make
