This work resonates most with couples who value presence over performance.  Couples who want photographs that reflect real connection, not a version of themselves put on for the camera.

I’m based in St. Louis and have spent over a decade photographing weddings and people. Over time, my work has settled into a blend of documentary observation and editorial sensibility, guided more by instinct and attention than by trends.
I work with both film and digital photography, choosing each for what it does best. Film brings a sense of familiarity and softness. Digital allows for flexibility and precision. Together, they create a body of work that feels honest, considered, and lasting.
That perspective and the way photos get made didn’t come from a single moment. It’s been shaped slowly, over time.

Something a little more personal about me, I think that becoming a father changed the way I notice time. Moments pass way too fast, more often than not without warning, and the ones that matter most are rarely the ones you think to prepare for.

I think that awareness shows up in how I photograph weddings. I pay close attention to the in between moments, the small interactions, and the things that can’t be recreated later. The things you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re already gone.
It’s not about being sentimental. It’s about understanding how quickly moments move, and taking care to photograph them while they’re still happening.

You care about how the day feels more than how it looks.  You want to see this reflected in your photos, your memories.
You want to be present with the people you love, not posed, or put on display. You want moments that feel like you, not moments that are manufactured for the camera.
That’s the experience I put first. I don’t chase perfection or play photographer.  I watch the room, the interaction, the connections, and I make photographs from what’s real. I notice what you notice later.  The unplanned laugh, the spontaneous hug, the tear you didn’t see coming.
This is why the couples I work with often say their favorite photographs are the ones they didn’t even know were happening.
