About your photographer

Greetings! You may have stumbled into this website after sifting through an overwhelming mountain of Google search results. I’ve been there… I know what it’s like to feel disheartened because you can’t find what you’re looking for, let alone something that makes you think, “Hell yeah… this is it.” Finding a photographer or videographer that resonates with how you want to feel is a matter of recognizing stories that hit close to home. Something you can see yourself in.
My passion for telling stories goes beyond the onslaught of recycled instagram fluff.
For me, that means shooting exclusively on analog cameras since it’s the closest thing to... well, the real thing. I use the same cameras to document my own life.
Above all, I’m committed to documenting your story (whether near or far) in ways I’ve never seen before. It’s the magical dust of film, and I want to sprinkle you with it.
If for some reason you want to read more about what makes me forge onward in an uncertain world, head on over to the more thorough, *professional* About Us page.

What’s it like working with me?
It’s important to know that I shoot what I see. Sometimes I set things up, but most of the time it’s a truly candid take on the day. Nothing beats the kid nephew picking their nose, a bridesmaid falling in a pool, a teary exchange between exuberant mothers.
Don’t worry about looking editorial or fancy. Every couple you see on this website told me “We don’t look good in front of the camera.” I beg to differ. I enjoy capturing people in their moments of profound honesty, and if you gander my portfolio you can see the evidence. Your day will look exactly how you want to remember it.
Frequently vocalized inquirings
-
Primarily Asheville, North Carolina. However, I live in a Sprinter van so you’ll often find me gallivanting elsewhere with semi-reckless abandon.
-
Absolutely. I’m a well-seasoned traveler and passport-ready for the cosmos. I travel for over half the weddings I document.
-
I offer customizable packages for film photography, Super 8 videos, or both. Check out out the pricing and process to get a more thorough look.
-
Sure do! I know documentation is a huge investment, so all packages are set on a payment plan. You can pay in 2, 4, 6, 12, or however many payments you want - as long as you’re fully paid up before the wedding, you’re good to go.
-
My books are open for 2025 and beyond! I’m available for both weekday and weekend celebrations any time of the year. Only way to know if I’m available for your date is to send me an inquiry here. I’d love to hear from you!
-
If you’re one of those legendary couples who want to go all-out on a beautiful location (whether as a short jaunt on your wedding day, or heading out somewhere spectacular for your entire celebration), I offer my scouting expertise. You might say I moonlight as a google maps ninja.
