A Visual Storyteller…
When I’m not out running trails with my ever-energetic, ever-sweet sidekick Luna (an Australian Shepard), you’ll find me curating photo albums, styling shots and chasing light. I’m a visual storyteller and the details that capture the individual story are what find their way into my work. To me, that is the essence of photography - The Story.
For the past 7 years, I've specialized in wedding photography and have been lucky to work with so many amazing couples. I've shot weddings all over New England, New York, Pennsylvania, California and the Florida Keys. I've traveled to three different countries to photograph incredible weddings. It's been a wild and amazing ride so far. It's what drives me creatively and challenges me to create something unique for each couple - Their Story.
The Experience…(What you need to know)
“Overcoming all obstacles to get the right photograph at the right time. Chasing the light. Putting my couples’ priorities first. Knowing the stories of the men and women I photograph are most important. Not hesitating to lay on the ground in a new suit to get the shot. More smiles and laughter… less drama. It’s about capturing a huge milestone day in the lives of two people and doing it with respect, authenticity and in a creative way. Placing significance on documenting emotions. It is about legacy, your family legacy.” - Your Story.
In addition to weddings you'll find me photographing: architecture, interiors and exteriors; professional headshots; environmental portraits; lifestyle and editorial work for marketing and advertising purposes; corporate events; and in education for the many universities in the New England area.
