About Randy

J.Perlman R.Lutge Photography.

For the real story, read our testimonials. They tell you what our clients love about our style of photography, how we interact with our clients and their families and friends and how you will experience your wedding day and the memories you will have forever.

“Their presence is soft and unobtrusive. They are fast and precise. Their eye is kind and intelligent; dynamic documentary style, elegant portraits, symbolic details, moody landscape and fluid compositions. I didn’t want just memories, I wanted art.”

Natalya Shulyakovskaya, Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, Mendocino


Randy Lutge. 

An artist. A photojournalist. A father. A news hound. A musician. A charmer.  


We are real life storytellers capturing stolen moments as memorable visual stories. Often it’s the small moments, the wordless reactions, which carry the most power. 

Randy continues to  learn how to do better and better work for our clients.  Every year we are entering contests competing on an International level. We continue to win awards for images for our strong documentary candid wedding style. Our approach to wedding photography is a blend of creative portraiture and documentary.

We translate documentary photography into award winning wedding photography. 


We are so lucky to have 2 locations, Mendocino and San Francisco. The best of both worlds. 


Randy has been a professional photographer for years. He studied ethnographic filmmaking as an undergraduate in anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, and brings this studied perspective to his work.
