When the people have left, the flowers have died, and the lights have turned off…
these photos will be the only thing you have left.
The Experience
My approach to wedding photography is rooted in authenticity and nostalgia, with a focus on finding the artful and poetic moments . I focus on capturing real emotions and intimate moments, allowing the day to unfold organically. With warm, earthy tones and soft lighting, my images evoke a sense of timelessness, reflecting not just the events, but the quiet, meaningful connections that make each wedding unique. My goal is to create photographs that feel like cherished memories, telling your story in a way that’s both genuine and deeply personal.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Personal, Nostalgic, Authentic, Artistic. I’m a documentary photographer first, wedding photographer second.
Making photos at your wedding requires me to be excellent at several styles of wedding photography. In a typical wedding day there will be times where I will need to work in a creative style, other times I will need to work in a photojournalism style. A wedding album isn’t complete without stunning portraiture, and Mom will kill you if we don’t get some traditional posed photos made. So, I would say I try and cover all aspects of your day to be able to tell your story accurately, to capture the true emotions and all the real moments.

I only do the basic retouching skin, acne, scars etc, and I can remove some distrcations in the images. But I do not believe in altering a client beyond the natural. If you have any insecurities, let me know and I will keep it in mind while shooting.
