West Virginia wedding & portrait photographer
Every love story has a unique couple, as every couple a unique love story. I want to help tell the story of how out of seven billion people, you two climbed through the bramble to find each other. Wedding photography is about getting close enough, while being as unobtrusive as I can. My two main goals when working with you are to produce high-quality photographs that will be cherished by you and your family and to create an experience built on trust, acceptance and love.

I am so lucky I'm based in Fayetteville, W.Va., - in the gorgeous New River Gorge - but I serve all of West Virginia, Virginia and the DC Metro area. I'm available anywhere.

Outside of documentary wedding photography, I shoot engagements, senior and family portraits as well as headshots. With all of my clients, I try and incorporate a genuine, timeless look to all of my portrait work while keeping it fun and unique. I strive to create story-telling imagery that mixes who you are with location.
