Warning: photos may make you fall in love over & over again.

I am wedding photographer who loves (loves!) my job.

I know a lot of photographers call it photojournalism, but I mean it more than the other guys.

If I were to pick some adjectives to describe my work, I’d choose: Audacious | Inspiring | Real

But then I would insist that it’s really hard to put the quality of a visual art into words and show you my photos instead. As for my philosophy, I consider the images and moments that I capture, a true and tangible way to tell stories and touch lives. If we’ve done the right legwork, our styles will have perfectly meshed by the time your big day rolls around. Then, it’s up to me to observe, to capture, to pay attention to important (and forgotten) details, to work that artistic muscle; all the while keeping your vision in mind.

And let me tell you, it’s pretty magical.

Why do I do what I do?

Well...

-Because it brings me pure joy to create moments that will enrich the lives of my clients.

-Because the connections and relationships I make with my clients are authentic, and real, and inspiring.

-Because of the unique experience of getting lost in my thoughts when I’m behind camera; relishing the pure moment of just being a wedding photographer.

-Because there is breathtaking beauty in weddings and I get to celebrate that beauty and see it cultivated in my life. -Because I really love serving my clients and give them an incredible experience.

I come to your wedding with the mindset that your big day is the most important day in my life, and I treat it (and you) with great care and love. I believe that no two weddings are alike, and I strive to capture your wedding for its unique beauty, its incredible details and the extraordinary stories that it creates.

My goal is to make you fall in love with your wedding over and over again.
