  • I’m based in Hamburg, NY and regularly photograph weddings across Buffalo, Rochester, the Finger Lakes, and beyond. I’m available for travel upon request.

  • My approach is all about keeping things fun, relaxed, and real. I’m always moving…anticipating moments, finding beautiful light, and choosing when to step in or stay invisible. Many couples describe my presence as “ninja-like”…always nearby, never in the way.

  • I’ve been using Nikon cameras for over 20 years and now rely on their latest mirrorless systems for their speed, reliability, and image quality.

    For editing, I work in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop using a set of custom presets I’ve developed over the years to achieve natural skin tones and true-to-life color. I also integrate AI to streamline the editing process and minimize repetitive adjustments…helping deliver your full gallery faster without compromising quality.
