I would be remiss if I didn't mention those first two descriptors as my images are a reflection of me.
As hard as I try to not have an impression on the wedding day, ultimately the way I see the world is a result of my own life.
That is why I put value where I do in my personal work - I focus on relationships, emotion, human touch and ultimately documenting your day as authentically as possible in an effort to preserve the feeling of your day.
IM A FATHER, HUSBAND & PHOTOGRAPHER
This seems like something that a wedding photographer shouldn't say. In-fact this might turn some of you away but I would urge you to consider what a wedding truly is.
A wedding is a family event.
Two joining to become one. A great gathering of friends and family. Parents, babies, grandparents, sisters and brothers all in one space (sometimes for the first and last time ever).
As my time in the military came to an end I was left without a purpose for the first time in my adult life.
My wife and I moved to Madison and our son was born, I began documenting his early life in an effort to slow down his fleeting infancy. I became obsessed with preservation through imagery and found myself with a camera in hand more often than not.
I loved it so much that I started to document other families in a similar manner, and eventually was asked to shoot a wedding. The fast paced, high pressure environment of a wedding felt like home to me when compared to my life in the Army. After my first wedding I knew I had discovered my new calling.
I had found purpose again.

Emotion over perfection
Film Photography
Posed images will always be remembered as such and detract from the overall wedding experience. I emphasize the authentic moments from your day to ensure day is authentically yours. I seek out the connections, interactions and emotion that is found naturally to prioritize delivering a gallery that evokes feeling.
By seeking emotion over perfection, I create a set of images that extend across language and generations. Photograph that convey emotion are instantly recognized, empathized and relatable to all walks of life.
By utilizing film as a creative medium, I ensure your images are true to life, timeless and thoughtfully captured. Film is inherently personal, the imperfections, grain and texture often mimic our own imperfect lives in a beautiful way.
