New York-based wedding photographer. Editorial eye, zero patience for boring portraits, and a German Shepherd named Zelda who has more personality than most people.
GET TO KNOW ME
HOW
& WHY
I came up shooting editorial. Fashion. The kind of work where the image has to say something before anyone reads a caption. I brought that into weddings about a decade ago and never looked back.
What that means for you: I'm not interested in lining you up and calling it a portrait. I'm watching the room. I'm two steps ahead of the moment. And when something real happens, I'm already there.
Most photographers document a wedding. I'm not most photographers. I'm the one who already moved before you knew the moment was happening, who saw the light shift before anyone else looked up, and who will hand you a gallery that makes you forget the posed shots were ever a thing.
A few things worth knowing.
Sidekick
Zelda. GSD. Runs the house.
Guilty pleasure
Jewelry I don't need. Cameras I absolutely need.
Hot take
Posed portraits are overrated. Bad timelines ruin weddings. Venue doesn't save bad light.
Off Duty
Earl Grey, vintage cameras, and eBay rabbit holes at midnight.

Other life
Web developer by education. Still very much active. Yes, both.
One word
Loyal. (Ask Zelda.)

PROUST
QUESTIONNARE
Still here? Perfect. If we're going to work together, we gotta go a little deeper. Here are my answers to the famously big questions, a la Vanity Fair.
What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
Golden hour on a cliffside, two lovers who actually like each other, zero “smile for the camera” energy, and a playlist that slaps harder than the champagne cork.
What’s your greatest extravagance?
A lens collection that could fund a small wedding — and I’d do it again tomorrow.
On what occasion do you lie?
When a couple asks if I think their third outfit change is “too much.” Spoiler: it’s never too much if you’re serving looks.
Which living person do you most admire?
Anyone who can pull off a dramatic silhouette in a windstorm and still look like they planned it.
What’s the trait you most deplore in others?
Trying to make a wedding look like every other wedding. Originality isn’t optional — it’s the whole point.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
“Timeless elegance” that ends up feeling like beige wallpaper. Give me bold, give me now, give me unforgettable.
What’s your most treasured possession?
The hard drive that holds every unfiltered, electric, heart-racing moment I’ve ever captured. It’s basically my autobiography in RAW files.
If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability, what would it be?
The power to make awkward family photos instantly cinematic. One snap and boom — everyone suddenly knows how to pose like they were born for it.
I shoot what's actually happening.
Not the version where everyone is standing still and smiling at the camera. The version where your dad is trying not to cry and your best friend is losing it laughing and nobody staged any of it.
You're not a pose. Stop being treated like one.
If you've ever looked at someone else's wedding photos and thought "that's not really them" — you already know what you don't want. You deserve a gallery that actually looks like the two of you.
Fun couples get better galleries. Full stop.
Not because they're more photogenic. Because they're present, they're loose, and they stop performing for the camera about twenty minutes in. That's when the good stuff happens.
