WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER

Relaxed when it should be. Directed when it needs to be. Dependable from beginning to end.

About style


You've heard all the buzzwords by now: documentary, candid, cinematic. But what do they mean? Mostly, they're describing photography that is not a staged portrait. They mean to take pictures of real things as they happen. Even though these terms are gaining popularity, I've been doing exactly that for years. But I think a strong portrait is important, too. That's why I do both.

when plans change


Weddings rarely go exactly according to plan.

Before photographing weddings, I spent 15 years as a Cincinnati police officer. I ran beats in Price Hill, Westwood, Fairmount, Avondale, Walnut Hills, Bond Hill, and elsewhere. After thousands of calls for service, I made countless split-second decisions with both physical and legal consequences. I take weddings very seriously, but as far as stress goes, they are sometimes quite literally a walk in the park for me.

What I'm saying is that when the timeline slips or weather changes, I'll adapt. You enjoy your wedding.

From inquiry to wedding day


01 — GET IN TOUCH

Tell me your date and a little about what you're planning. I'll let you know if I'm available and send you the information you need.

02 — RESERVE YOUR DATE

A signed agreement and retainer make it official. Your wedding date is yours.

03 — PLAN THE DETAILS

As the wedding gets closer, we'll work through the timeline, family photographs and anything else I need to know.

04 — WEDDING DAY

I show up prepared and photograph the day as it unfolds—stepping in when you need direction and staying out of the way when you don't.

05 — YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS

You'll receive a sneak peek shortly after the wedding, followed by your complete edited gallery.
