Philosophy

I love to photograph you in your own confidence, in your own skin, and if I’m lucky, in your own absurdity. As a wedding photographer, my desire is to tell a complete story — from beginning-to-end, revealing the depth and degrees of the relationships in front of me — complete with a sense of place.

Documenting weddings has expanded my idea of what it means to be human: vulnerable, loved, affirmed, encouraged, celebrated; and what it means to be a good friend, better lover, more stylish dresser, and deeper dreamer. My appreciation for, and understanding of, the full range of cultures and class has kept my curiosity piqued and eyes hungry. I’m extremely grateful for the experiences that this job has afforded me.
