I've loved photography since long before it was easy. I had my darkroom years first, then digital showed up and changed everything, which makes me that millennial.

Since then I've photographed weddings from California to New York, North Carolina to the Pacific Northwest, and down into Mexico and up through Canada. The thing I've learned across all of them is that the photographs get better when the day is actually fun. So that's what I go for. I want to be in it with you, part of the family and part of the ceremony, not standing at the edge of the room behind a lens.

I'm serious about the images. That part never relaxes. But the way you get incredible photographs is by building a day worth photographing, and that means staying positive at hour eleven when everyone's feet hurt and we're all tired. Happy tired. The celebration kind.

You'll have the photographs for the rest of your life. I want you to have the memory of how it felt, too.
