I'm going to go ahead and bare my soul to you right here in the beginning - it's the least I can do considering you may be inviting me in to document you at your most vulnerable. And frankly, in order to decide if we are a good fit, it's important for you to know WHO I AM as a wedding photographer (and human!) and who I am not.
Like so many, 2020 brought me to my knees. I ached for the sick and dying, the jobless, for small businesses, essential workers, for black lives. I watched my industry crumble. I feared for my family. I feared for our country. I questioned everything - my career, my future, my art. The fog is still lifting, but there are a few things that have become alarmingly clear: I love creating images of people.

Q: What do I do with my hands? A: THIS is a valid question. In an awkward contest, I would win. I have been accused on occasion of being slightly offbeat (the fun kind). Your discomfort with a camera being pointed at you is 100% appropriate and 100% okay. You are not at all expected to be a model. I will do everything in my power to make you comfortable and to interact with you in a way that will elicit authentic expressions and connections.

Let me start by saying in no way am I shaming large weddings. I had 200 guests at my own and having everyone under one roof to celebrate was one of the most special things I've experienced in all of my 35 years of life. That being said, I am also a self-employed homeowner with a bottomless pit of student loan debt - thank you, Syracuse University - and I sometimes shudder at the thought of the money we spent in one magical, drunken night.
