About me
I don’t just show up with a camera — I show up with intention. With my experience photographing weddings of all cultures and sizes, I’ve learned how to anticipate moments before they happen and preserve them in a way that feels true to you. My passion lies in capturing real emotions — the quiet in-between glances, the tearful hugs, the loud joy. I blend storytelling with an artistic eye, making sure your memories feel both timeless and uniquely yours.
My mission? To capture your love so you can cherish it forever.
Since then, I’ve had the honor of documenting weddings of all kinds — from intimate backyard ceremonies to vibrant multi-day celebrations. No two stories are the same, and that’s what keeps this work so meaningful to me. I approach every wedding with fresh eyes, a calm presence, and a commitment to telling your story the way it truly felt. Whether I’m guiding you through portraits or quietly capturing the unscripted moments, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel honest, artful, and deeply you.
Artistic & Refined
My journey into wedding photography began not with a camera, but with a love for storytelling. I started out second shooting for some of the top photographers in Ohio, learning the craft through long weekends, back-to-back events, and countless emotional moments. Over time, I found my own voice — a mix of documentary honesty and cinematic beauty. After years of capturing love stories for others, I launched my own brand and relocated to Michigan, where I now serve couples across the Midwest and beyond. Every wedding reminds me why I started: to freeze real emotion in time and give people memories that feel as alive years later as they did in the moment.
It all started ten years ago when I got my first camera ...
I can’t watch movies like a casual viewer anymore — I’m always noticing the camera angles, lighting, and locations. My mind naturally drifts to how each shot was crafted, which makes storytelling through photography even more fascinating and inspiring to me.
Did you know...
I’m either photographing family events, trying new recipes with my wife, or planning my next spontaneous road trip.
In my spare time...
Any lamb dish — from slow-cooked curry to grilled chops, I’m all in.
If it’s lamb on the plate, consider me happy.
My favorite food
When I’m not editing or shooting, you’ll find me hunting for the best biryani or perfecting my chai game.
