Greg Cali, often referred to by his last name, Cali, grew up in Encinitas and went on to live in charming beach towns scattered along the California coastlines. It was clear from a very early age that he was an artist which lead to a study of fine arts at Cal State University Long Beach and a creative expression that’s inspired by the true Californian lifestyle. Through his studies, he became captivated by the process of making images, which guided him to master photography. 

After completing his education, Cali felt drawn to translate the authenticity of his story through his business in every way. A family man who connects with heritage and the timelessness of the coastal California culture, there was a calling to keep a connection to his roots leading to the birth of his career as a photographer and the start of a name that is recognized and respected all along the coast. TheCaliLife is a tribute to his Sicilian grandparents and a proclamation to the way that he lives every single day, with or without a camera in hand.  

Today, Cali is known for his unique style that infuses an artistic touch with photography. His technique translates into final imagery that has such a precision that at first glance, it may appear effortless. But when one takes time to study a bit deeper, an artistic composition, calculated exposure, and considered choice of subject are unveiled in a way that leaves the viewer longing for more. The consistency of his work and dedication to capturing the “perfect shot” has made him arguably one of the most sought after photographers in Southern California. 

Those who know Cali would describe his warmth as “infectious.” He is one to treat every encounter the same – as an opportunity to paint your storyline through imagery that will take one’s breath away. From engagements to weddings, landscapes and more, Cali has a quick eye and attention to detail that not only leaves his clients to feel at ease, but translates his contagious spirit in a way that allows each client to let down their walls in order to collaboratively create images that brings smiles and reminders the fondest memories for years to come.

With over 300 weddings photographed, it is safe to say that TheCaliLife Weddings have become a focal point of this multifaceted production company. No matter the occasion, TheCaliLIfe’s mission is to capture life’s incredible moments that will be cherished forever.
