This is me.

First things first, I’m incredibly excited you are here and that my work has connected us. Thank you for taking the time to see what I’m all about and for considering me to be a part of your beautiful life adventure.

I’ve always been a dreamer, an observer, a free-spirit. The one to notice the allure of small details. The wonder of a never-before-seen perspective. The artistry in everyday life settings. Photography is what I do, but, if we take a step back, what really lights my soul up is human connection, capturing emotions, memories and creating the art of you.

My story begins when, many moons ago, my then girlfriend (now wife) Pamela and I moved to Italy to be with her family. While we were there, we had so many adventures traveling near and far. Throughout it all, I photographed the big and little moments. Each night before bed, we would lay down and she would tuck her head into my shoulders. We would scroll through the photos together and just smile. We relived those moments many times over and just couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with not only a rush of joyous and nostalgic emotions, but the realization of how each one of these moments built our love story. When we returned stateside, I bought my first professional camera and the rest is history.

I am so lucky to get to do what I do and share this light with your light. Let me be your third wheel and together, we can tell the most beautiful story – yours. While we are at it, let’s create some seriously breathtaking, customized and musing art that will be a part of your legacy forever more.

Take a look around and check out all of the unique love stories I have shared as well as learn a little more about what you can expect from our experience together. When you’re ready, drop me a line, say “hey” and let’s connect!

Come as you are. I'll do the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after we submit an inquiry?

I will reach out to you to confirm receipt and answer any questions you may have. Each session is a 100% customized adventure. I don’t offer the option to book directly because it is so important to me to get to know you, fully understand your vision and start to build a connection before the big day. I never take for granted the genuine privilege it is to be chosen to capture your love. If we both decide to move forward, I will share an agreement you can sign online as well as ask you to provide your deposit (50% of the total cost).

How many weddings and elopements do you shoot per year?

I shoot only up to 20 weddings or elopements per year and I know this is significantly less than other photographers. I have learned through the years that building a connection and having the time to truly invest in my couples and understand their vision is something I am not willing to give up. It often takes a year or more to dream up your wedding- I want to ensure I, in turn, have the time to plan, honor, photograph, absorb and edit with the time it genuinely deserves so the emotion of the photos can be remembered and treasured for many, many years.

When will we receive our photos and how will we receive our images?

My typical turnaround time is no more than 8 weeks. However, I always provide a sneak peek within a few days of your wedding or session so you can be excited at what’s to come!

You will receive your edited images through a private online gallery which stays live for up to one year. You will be able to download, share your images and even order prints from the gallery directly.

Do we need a second shooter?

It’s a very personal decision, but I would recommend a second shooter for larger weddings to ensure we capture every moment of your day. They can help capture a different perspective of the day while helping me focus on specific moments.

Can you recommend a stylist/venue/HMUA/planner?

Yes! I would love to partner with you to make all of your dreams into a reality. I am happy to share my vendor recommendations!

Do you travel?

Heck yes! I offer flat-rate destination sessions and weddings to make budgeting as easy as possible. Where you go, I go.

Do you have business insurance?

Absolutely. Some venues require this and I am happy to provide proof of insurance if needed.
