Ever since I can remember I’ve been an observer, fascinated by people, travel and love. I used to save my candy bars as a kid because it was too good to open. I'd ask myself, how can I make this moment last? When I was 13, I even went as far as photographing my stuffed animals so that they'd never be forgotten.
I suppose I've always known deep down that I was meant to be a photographer. By my early 20’s I had already spent time in over 19 countries throughout Europe, Asia and South America. Always bringing some sort of camera to document along the way.
Moving forward, I found myself training with some of the best photographers in the industry and learned a great deal just by jumping in. Through all of my experiences I’ve found that photography starts in the heart and mind of the photographer and is realized through the soul of the subject. I take pride in capturing the sort of moments when a groom breaks down watching his wife walk down the isle. Or simply listening to a couple’s story of how they met, it all makes my job extremely gratifying.
As I get to know you, I will gain a perspective that will allow me to fully manifest your vision. That is my promise to you as your photographer and your partner in delivering your most memorable moments to have and to hold forever
