In 2026, after well over twenty years of documenting weddings, what keeps me engaged in this work has less to do with the aesthetics and performative aspect of the wedding day, and more to do with the human experience, which I capture through real, unfiltered, candid photography.

The older I get, the more I find myself challenging the formulaic wedding photography template, and this preconceived idea of manufactured perfection as a gold standard for what a “wedding photograph” should be.

My overall approach is intuitive and based on connection, which results in a body of original work that’s deeply personal to each couple.
