Something borrowed, something blue, something old, something new.... I want to be your something different! 

Finding a way to combine my work and my art has been a goal of mine since I started out as a photographer.  As an artist, there is a stigma that in order to create the art you love,  you have to sacrifice making a living.  I believe the term "starving artist" came from this idea.  For me, surrendering to the term starving artist is not an option.  Finding a way to hustle and push boundaries in an industry that is usually seen as pretty traditional has been a challenge I have embraced and learned to enjoy.  It has been a very long journey that I am still on.   Fear has punched me straight in the gut many times.   I would find myself comparing my work to people I am nothing like.  I would let myself feel defeated when I hadn't booked my goal number of weddings. Each time I gained valuable lessons and became better at my craft.   I love being around love, this is why I chose wedding photography as my focus. I also believe that love is the language that art communicates.  This is why I like to combine the two and make amazing art whenever I get the chance. 

Over 20 years ago I loaded my first roll of film into a camera.  Developing it and seeing the images I took come to life in a tray of chemicals was exhilarating for me.   Though most of my professional work has been shot on digital, lately I kept getting this urge to return to my roots and shoot more film.   That being said, I am looking for a fun couple to be part of my first all film wedding photography experience.

I share a studio space with Emily, who is also an artist.  I asked if she and her husband Isaac would get back into their wedding clothes and experiment with me.  I absolutely love the images we created together.
