Photographs that still hold up after the day moves on

Weddings, portraits and the hour after the ceremony when nobody is posing. I shoot for the print on the wall, not the feed.

About

One photographer, a dark room and a lot of patience

I started in a college darkroom, counting seconds under a red safelight, and I still edit the way I printed: slowly, one frame at a time, until the light looks the way it felt. There is no second shooter and no associate team. If you book me, I am the person who shows up, who learns your family's names before the first frame, and who sends the finished gallery.

Most of my work is weddings and family portraits within a couple of hours of the studio, and a few editorial days a year for people who like the same light I do.

Sessions

What a day with me costs

Every session includes a planning call, an online gallery you can share, and print rights for every finished frame. The number beside each session is the starting price; travel beyond two hours is quoted before you book.

Tell me about the day

Send the date, the place and anything you already know you want. I answer within a day, and if the date is open I hold it while we talk.
