While an Ohio native, I lived in Chicago for nearly a decade, which has undoubtedly shaped me professionally, along with my personal style. I’m an urbanite through and through, but nothing calls to me like the mountains. Maybe that’s partly why I love hiking miles of secluded trails for hours at a time.

Unlike my formal training in film photography and  background in both fine art and graphic design, most of my professional adventure as a photographer has primarily been self-taught. After 17 years of photographing weddings, I am able to look back and see a road filled with creative growth, personal ups and downs, and, most importantly, a collection of evocative story-telling that I am immensely proud of.

I approach weddings, first and foremost, from an artistic perspective while focusing on what others might ignore. Balancing real moments while also purposefully infusing beauty has come only through experience. I’ve been told that I have an eye for detail, and that’s certainly characteristic of my style. However, I cannot place enough value on the wonderful connections that I continue to make over the years while on this path. 

Each couple I photograph, with their unique love story, is a true joy to capture and inspires me to create my best work. I look forward to seeing how I can do the same for you.
