About

Hey, I'm Henry 👋

🚀 I’m an Astrophysicist by trade, but, frankly, would much rather be spending your wedding day with you — capturing the true spirit and authentic beauty of your big day is my specialty.

📸 I try to approach a wedding like a photojournalist telling your story in the most unobtrusive way possible. No yelling, no unnatural poses, and, most importantly, no stress. This is your moment and I pride myself in not being another element that has to be micromanaged.

🎉 Let me create something wonderful, YOU just enjoy the celebration :)

A wonderful wedding day with Henry

Where do we even start? Henry turned a stressful day into an easy one with his calm composure and simple guidance. We felt a huge relief not to mention his photos were magnificent. We had photos the Wednesday after our wedding (Saturday) and didn't have to ask! We highly highly recommend Henry for any couple!

Thank you!

Wow. We cannot speak more highly of Henry and his ability. You really just have to work with him to believe it. He’s as charismatic as his referrals said, and made the day flow so smoothly. He didn’t do anything over-the-top, and knew when to back off a bit and give us some space when we were overwhelmed with all the people. The photos are amazing: both wonderful candids and light posed shots. He even helped us to design and deliver a beautiful wedding album after-the-fact. Hire this young man ASAP!

Thank you Henry!

Henry really is all he says he will be, he’s professional and charismatic, extremely organized, and made us feel at ease from the first meeting we had. His photos speak for themselves and we cannot recommend him enough! 



After the wedding, not only did Henry have photos delivered extremely quickly, but he also helped us design an album to remember our big day. Thank you Henry!

Do yourself a favor and Hire Henry!

Words cannot describe how great Henry is! He was incredibly flexible and worked well with us to come up with a schedule that made getting all the formal photos we needed a piece of cake. His candids were wonderful and captured the emotional day. Henry is really good at what he does and we’d recommend any couple hire him :)

Thank you for everything!

Henry is a rockstar, wow. So thorough and helpful we could not have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Henry (and his second photographer) for making our special day so peaceful — oh, and his photos are magnificent..

Not enough kind things to say about Henry

Oh my goodness, there aren't enough kind things to say about Henry...he's charming, driven and incredibly talented. This may have been the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding day. He's as transparent as he markets himself and didn't disappoint! Thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you!

We didn't believe it could get any better, but Henry really stays true to his word of dirt cheap prices with super high quality photo and one week turnaround! He even worked with us to tweak two photos we wanted framed differently at no additional cost. Henry is incredibly professional, kind, and understanding. He helped put us at ease! Book him!!
