Weddings & Engagements

Based on the Coast of Delaware Open to Travel Anywhere Sentimental to you

I photograph weddings with the belief that the most meaningful moments cannot be staged. They happen in between. In the quiet exchanges, the unguarded laughter, the way a hand finds another without thinking.

My approach is rooted in documentation rather than performance. Rather than directing every moment, I create space for the day to unfold naturally so you can remain present with the people and moments that matter most. The result is imagery that feels honest, emotionally layered, and deeply personal.

I am based along the Delaware coast and photograph weddings throughout the Mid Atlantic and in carefully chosen destinations that hold meaning for my couples. Whether your celebration takes place close to home or somewhere you have always felt drawn to, my focus remains the same: preserving the feeling of the day as it truly lived.

Blending a foundation in film with the creative possibilities of digital photography, my work reflects a refined, intentional aesthetic that prioritizes connection over trend. These images are not made to impress in the moment but to carry weight over time.

Years from now, when the noise has faded and the day feels distant, I want your photographs to bring you back to how it felt. The closeness. The emotion. The truth of it.

If you value presence over production and storytelling over spectacle, I would love to document your wedding.
