HELLO

I’m 29, a photographer, a reader (sometimes of books even!), and a lifelong Northwesterner. I like tennis, trail running, trivia night, and endless Greg Oden-related optimism.
  

WHAT’S IMPORTANT

This is how I define things:
1. A wedding: perhaps the only full day of your life that will be photographically documented.
2. A wedding: an ode to who the bride and groom have been; an ode to who they want to become.

For me, the perfect wedding is when everyone feels 100% comfortable to be themselves. To go all in without reservation. When small talk turns to big talk and polite smiles turn to uncontrollable laughter, you start to see people as they want to be. This is why I look forward to weddings.
  

HOW I PHOTOGRAPH

Any success I’ve ever had is due to the invitation of the people I’m photographing. I work to become welcome in your space. I listen, I fit in—I’m courteous, I’m laid back. Good things happen when people are comfortable around the camera, and I use all my experience and intuition to make that happen.
