Hello!
Photography, to me, is more than snapshots in time. It's a testament to the threads of past and present experiences that are written in light. My dedication lies in capturing these threads and weaving them into something tangible: photographs of life and love.

My approach blends the candidness of photojournalism with fine art, focusing on genuine moments as they happen. I’ll use editorial, landscape and portraiture perspectives depending on the scene and the time of day to capture the experience unfolding in the best light possible. No matter the setting, my goal is to stay unintrusive and adaptable as I capture authentic moments and the beautiful stories they tell.

Your experience with me will be memorable, reflecting the unique story you wish to tell. Once the laughter subsides and the final notes fade, I delve deep into the craft. Every image undergoes meticulous editing, ensuring perfect color balance and clarity, ready to evoke emotions every time you look back. Rest assured, you'll receive all these refined digital captures, accompanied by rights for personal use.

With deep roots in my fine art work, I hold a steadfast belief: a photograph truly comes alive when it's printed. Each image is curated and edited to tell a seamless story, encouraging you to immortalize your favorites in a tangible form. Every album I craft is a unique reflection of your journey, constructed using the finest archival materials, ensuring it remains a cherished heirloom for generations.

FAQs

As with my fine art photography and documentary work, I look for unique perspectives that are natural, real, and timeless. I shoot with the intention of making photographs that will be cherished and passed on for generations. My technique often involve “disappearing” from a scene to become a quiet observer and find the moments and connections that are authentic reflections of people and places.
Creating portraits should be a fun and collaborative experience. While we will guide you every step of the way during your shoot (what do I do with my hands?!), we’ve learned that capturing great photographs takes more than poses. It takes fostering a relationship that extends beyond the lens, and we feel honored to share the experience of preserving your moment.

I’m based out of Decatur, GA. My networks and connections in Maryland, Nashville, Charleston and San Diego also make me readily available in those ares. And with a well-worn passport, I’m always ready to go anywhere!

Investing in photography is an exciting decision to capture irreplaceable memories for yourselves, your family, and your future. An overview of my photography pricing for weddings can be found here.

Simply message me here or give me a call. Your date is saved once I receive a copy of the signed contract and a non-refundable retainer (30% of total). During the busy wedding months, we receive multiple inquiries. Please note that the date remains open until your signed contract and retainer is received.

Of course! I would love to get to know you, learn more about you and yours, and share examples of my work. I’m often available in the Atlanta area but I travel to Maryland regularly. At the same time, if you’re across the country or across the globe it's never a problem if I’m not in your area; many couples have booked without first meeting in person. I’m always available to talk via phone or video chat!

Absolutely! In addition to multiple backup camera bodies, I have a wide assortment of lenses (wide, telephoto, close-up, portrait, etc.), batteries, filters and more. I also have equipment and professional liability insurance which is sometimes a requirement of wedding venues.
In the unlikely event that we have an emergency, I will do everything possible to secure a replacement through my large network of talented professionals and association with professional organizations. In my decade plus in professional photography I’ve never been unable to devote myself fully to a scheduled shoot.

All photographs are typically delivered 4-6 weeks after your wedding in digital format on a flash drive (typically 400-500 images). You'll also receive a private online link for viewing and sharing the collection and for purchasing prints. Editing and post-processing may require an additional 1-2 weeks during busy wedding months. I always try to deliver a "sneak peak" of 10-20 images soon after the wedding for you to have while I work on the full set of images.
-
I release full rights for personal use after final payment, allowing you to print photographs for friends and family with any online lab or at home. You can also share your images online.
Unless discussed, please note that this does not allow you to sell, edit or use the images in advertising in print or online. If you're interested in submitting to blogs or publications just let me know and I'd be glad to chat more!

Yes! I work with the best print companies in the industry to bring you beautiful books, canvas prints and fine art paper prints for preserving and sharing your photographs.

Typically, I recommend setting aside at least 30-40 minutes on your wedding day for couples portraits and an additional 20-30 minutes for portraits of the wedding party and family. Taking a quiet moment to pause from the excitement of your wedding day allows us to capture beautiful photographs as a couple for your collection! I’m super flexible as well and can comfortably change plans to suit your needs throughout the day.
You'll also receive a "shot list" questionnaire before the wedding day to cover any details and help us outline any specific photography requests you have.
