My Why
I use photography to connect with people and show them a reflection of themselves that may be a bit brighter and beautiful than what they imagine. Weddings are an opportunity to photograph people feeling grateful, the most beautiful emotion of them all. I tell these stories of love while striving to make a difference to the people around me.
