When I began shooting weddings, I knew I didn't want to take those same photos that everyone else makes. I wanted to make photos that were more real. My goal is not just to make pretty pictures of your wedding day. My job is to tell the story of your wedding day: the laughter, the hugs, the tears. 

This is why my work is mostly undirected, unposed, and as candid as possible. Sure I can help you when we take a couple of portraits, but ultimately, I want to capture the day as it really happened. Spontaneous hugs and funny faces and tears of joy. Unrepeatable moments that only ever happen once.
