Crazy to think this was 9 years ago….. happy anniversary you two!!

But real talk can you tell? The colors are real, not saturated, not muted, not hazy, not starch white, not “warmed”…..just real!

I use light and shadow for drama only, no need for anything else.

Love is timeless, get someone who captures it that way to photograph you!!

I’m available for select dates only.

I photographed a wedding a couple weeks ago and it just made me feel so good! Like literally “these are the kinds of people I want to give up my weekends for and sacrifice my own family time for”

Kerrie and Anthony have been through quite a lot in their lifetime and it was their daughter’s friendship that brought them together.

Their love and relationship with each other and their friends and family was beautiful to watch and document.

I thank you both for choosing me! After all I had very high standards to live up to (Kerrie’s dad was a photographer and 1/2 of Imagemakers and actually photographed my 1st wedding)

Cheers to you both!

I posted this exactly 9 years ago on what was the start of my 10th wedding season.

I’m still shooting, limited number of weddings but still photographing…..giving people timeless work that represents them is the only thing that matters to me!

Message me if you like me 😉 which is most important and my style and see yourself in this grid of images!

This couple wrote their vows but decided to share them privately with each other after the first look.

What a beautiful and personal time during the wedding day, where they could be themselves and give their hearts to each other without everyone’s eyes on them…..I sat back and captured it from afar.

In 25 years will you still love your wedding photographers style? Are your images crisp? Is your color true? Do you look your best? Did they capture the true “you”?

Haven’t fed my creative needs in quite some time and I do miss my photography!

I’m looking to photograph a few bo***ir clients a month again but need some new content in my recently changed space.

ATTENTION: Model Call/Session Giveaway

Looking for a few women who want to be photographed by me, all shapes, sizes and ages considered!

What’s included:
- One hour bo***ir session with up to 30 digital retouched images ($1500 value)

- You MUST sign a release to let me use the images on my website, social media and for advertising. (My work is revealing but it’s classy……If you don’t want these posted this is NOT for you, check with your partner, and consider your profession before entering)

- You MUST use my hair & makeup artist unless you prove you can do the equivalent on your own. You will be responsible for that cost of $250

If you’d like to be considered, please email me at: [email protected] or message me here. Tell me why you’d love to do this and send me an updated favorite picture of yourself.

Can’t wait to meet you!!

Meet Kelly, Mario and Luna who’s a total daddy’s girl!

Kelly wanted to make sure I photographed Luna on the wedding day with them so she came to meet us all decked out in her custom collar and leash.

It was wonderful that we could take relaxed photos right at the reception venue and she even got to mingle with the cocktail hour guests outside!

If you have pets that are more like family make sure you talk to your photographer about how to make sure they’re also captured in your wedding day!

I’m now booking a limited number of 2026 weddings!

Seriously do you know how many times I’ve heard I don’t want to do a first look because it will ruin the walking down the aisle moment? I call bu****it, politely of course 😉

If a person is emotional it will happen during first look, walking down the isle or perhaps even after the ceremony when the excitement and anticipation of the planning and the day come to a head like it did here! This was truly a heart clenching moment when they had already done a first look, were together with all their family before the ceremony for hours taking pictures, had an emotional and thoughtful ceremony and then walked back up the isle together hand and hand and just fell into each other arms surrounded by their friends and family.

You can’t schedule emotion……..
