"Tom was an absolutely incredible videographer for my wedding!
He not only took and edited amazing videos for me, but also was once of the biggest helpers with anything I needed for the day! He professionally met with me for planning and was quick to respond to any questions all while asking if there was anything else he could do to help out with the day. He was so flexible and got all the points in the day that I wanted captured including drone footage of my venue which looks like it could be from a movie! He worked with all my vendors so well, helped them also and made my guests feel comfortable and therefore got great shots of the reception and all the fun of the day. Tom is also someone that feels like a friend throughout the whole process and even after your day! I can’t recommend him enough! Such a wonderfully talented and awesome person!"

weddings & engagements
I want to capture real moments and real memories.
Getting married? Congratulations!
I know exactly how excited you are and maybe even a little overwhelmed with the planning process. One of my goals is to make your photography planning process and your wedding day as smooth as possible :)
I want to deliver photos that make your friends say,
"damn, I wish my wedding pictures looked like that".
My day-of work flow is best described as "documentary". Capturing candid moments as they exist, while still dedicating time to take beautiful portraits, family photos, and dance floor photos that pop. I want to capture real love, real moments, and real memories.
When it comes to editing, my style tends to lean more towards a "natural" feel with a touch of vibrancy. I edit photos based on how the image makes me feel. No two weddings I do will look alike, and often times different sets of pictures in the same gallery will have a different look and feel.
I love being a part of the smaller, more intimate ceremonies but I also have the experience to be that extended "day-of coordinator" on larger full scale productions, helping to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Another one of my goals is to try and provide all the fun extras I can like polaroids, 35mm film, guestbooks, and delivering sneak peaks during the wedding.
I take pride in going above and beyond for my clients. I want to provide the best experience and deliver the most value. Let's be real, choosing the person you're going to hire to capture your wedding day is a pretty big f@#*ing deal - and I take it very seriously. But I'm also a pretty fun, level headed, chill person and it would be a delight getting to work together :)
I would be excited to learn more about what you had planned for your wedding. I can also tell you more about myself and share more of my portfolio with you! Click here to schedule a time to connect or fill out the form below.
