More Than Two Decades Behind the Camera

For over 20 years, I’ve had the honor of photographing weddings across seasons, cities, and generations. With every wedding, my perspective has grown — not just as a photographer, but as a husband, a father, and someone who values family stories at a deeper level.

How Life Shaped My Approach

Early in my career, I was always searching… chasing moments, scanning the room for the “big” shots. And while that energy brought me powerful images, it also taught me something: when you’re too busy looking, you sometimes miss what’s right in front of you.

Life experiences shifted my perspective.

• After losing my grandfather, I realized how deeply meaningful it is to capture grandparents in honest ways. Not just the smiles, but the quiet looks, the quirks, even the grouchy expressions… because they’re true. Those images are how I remember him, and they’ve made me intentional about documenting these bonds at every wedding.

• After getting married myself, I began to see weddings differently. Experiencing my own day helped me recognize the subtle, fleeting moments couples often don’t realize are happening… the ones that become the most cherished memories later.

My Philosophy Today

Now, my approach is less about “searching” and more about being present. I photograph with patience, letting moments unfold as they are rather than trying to fit them into a mold.

At every wedding we set time aside for timeless portraits, but at the heart of it all, I want couples to look back at their gallery and not only see what they looked like, but feel what it was like to be there.
