PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY
A GOOD SNAPSHOT KEEPS A MOMENT THAT IS GONE FROM RUNNING AWAY.
- Eudora Welty
This is me soaking up the snuggles of my eldest daughter when she was 2 years old, shortly before her little sister was born! My wife snapped this photo of us on a hiking trip, and it captures one of the many sweet moments that I love to look back on. It is having candid, authentic photographs like this that inspire me to do what I do for my clients.
Photography has always been a passion of mine. With my camera, I like to pause the whirlwind of our lives and celebrate the unique, unfiltered moments that I never want to forget. My love for family portrait sessions began when I got married and had our first daughter. The intimacy of these incredible life events has inspired me to pursue this as a full-time career. I count on four decades of photography experience and a consistent editing style.
Absolutely thrilled to be part of capturing your most joyous moments! It's not just a job for me; it's a privilege to freeze those magical vibes, unique styles, and every significant moment in time. My commitment is to weave a visual story that resonates with the essence of your special day. I bring a blend of attentiveness and unobtrusiveness, ensuring you feel at ease and relaxed from dawn to dusk.
Every wedding is a new chapter, and I can't express how grateful I am to turn your love story into timeless art. Ready for more unforgettable celebrations with amazing couples! Let's connect on social media – looking forward to getting to know you better!
My passion goes beyond just capturing moments; it's about understanding you, your love story, and weaving those personal touches into every frame. I'm dedicated to creating not just photos and videos, but a seamless, stress-free experience from the first consultation to your magical day.
Immersing myself in your journey, I aim to deliver not just images, but a timeless narrative that resonates with generations to come. My commitment is to limit the number of weddings I take on each year, ensuring that every couple receives the time, care, and attention they truly deserve.
Picture this: Clean, vibrant photos that encapsulate your personalities, while I handle all the details, leaving you free to savor each moment of your wedding day. You're not just clients; you're my priority. Any question or concern, a call, text, or email away – because your peace of mind matters as much as your perfect shots.
