Fundamentally, I believe weddings are not photoshoots. The motivations behind my work and your wedding day experience are antithetical to the notion of doing anything 'for the 'gram.' As your wedding photographer, my job is to document the day exactly as it happens with minimal interruption or hand-holding. You set the tone and tempo. Nothing needs to be forced for the sake of checking a box. I firmly believe that if you open your heart and embrace the weekend, come what may, you will love your wedding photos because what you’ll see, looking back, are the true emotions and experiences that happened with your favorite people on your wedding day. It’s truly special.

BEHIND THE LENS
Husband, photographer, artist, inspired by travel + cinema, interesting light, and your story.
I’m a wedding photographer based in Charlotte, NC who regularly travels to international destinations and within the USA.
My pursuit of the arts began at an early age with many creative endeavors, most notably, drums, guitar, and a fascination with cameras. As I transitioned out of the music business in my mid-twenties, cameras, and photography became my next passion. Wedding photography allowed me to combine my love of travel, friends, and relationships all into one fantastic day.
I enjoy photographing couples who have a good sense of who they are as individuals (and together), are adventurous spirits, and want to throw an unforgettable party with their friends and family. I understand that a wedding day is not a photoshoot and prioritize working quickly so you can enjoy as much time with you friends and family as possible.
If you dream about a unique wedding day full of laughs, no undo stress, and plenty of love (and maybe some drinks), I’d love to hear more about your plans.
Wedding weekends come and go in the blink of an eye, so let’s just be in the moment together.
