How It All Began
My journey into photography began during my freshman year of college at Wesley College, a small private school. At the time, I had no clear direction for my future and hadn’t declared a major. To help me explore my options, I was enrolled in a variety of classes, one of which was Photography 101—a course designed to teach the basics of a camera. Initially, I dismissed the class, thinking, This is pointless; I’ll never pursue a career in photography.
That perspective changed with our fifth assignment. We were tasked with capturing and editing five random images of our choice. My friend Mike and I set out around the quiet town of Dover, Delaware, photographing anything that caught our eye: trees, water, people, construction sites—whatever inspired us. That evening, we returned to campus and spent hours in the photography lab at Longwood Hall editing our photos. It was in that quiet, creative space that I fell in love with photography. Wedding photographer capturing memorable moments with beautiful, timeless style.
Since then, I’ve devoted myself to refining my skills, investing in top-tier equipment, and developing a signature style that blends candid moments with artistic composition. My college years may be behind me, but the same drive and creativity that started in that classroom continues to guide every image I create today.

What Makes My Work Unique
Every couple has a story worth telling — full of laughter, tenderness, and connection. My approach to wedding photography is unobtrusive yet intentional, allowing you to stay fully present while I capture each fleeting moment.
From intimate elopements in New York City to grand celebrations in Philadelphia or destination weddings across the country, my mission is to create timeless, editorial-style imagery that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.
Beyond the Camera
When I’m not behind the lens, I love exploring life with my Fiancé, traveling to new places, Trying new styles of foods and learning as much of the culture as possible. At home, our cat keeps us laughing and adds a bit of chaos and joy to every day.
Outside of photography, I’m also passionate about coaching young men in football, reading, and continuing my education through creative seminars and workshops. These experiences constantly fuel my growth — both as a person and as an artist.
