I offer full wedding photography and filmmaking: digital coverage, Super 8 wedding films shot on real Kodak motion-picture film, digital videography, and engagement sessions. I also shoot 35mm, medium format, and Polaroid throughout the day for couples who want that extra layer of authenticity in their gallery.

I’m based in St. Pete and shoot all over Tampa Bay: Tampa, Clearwater, Sarasota, plus Orlando, Miami, and destination weddings anywhere in the U.S. If it means documenting your day right, I’ll go wherever that takes me.

Back in 2016, a close friend asked me to photograph their wedding, and that was it. I was hooked. There’s something about being trusted to capture someone’s most meaningful day that pulled me in immediately.

Everything shifted again in 2019, when I lost my mom. That loss changed how I look at photographs entirely. Now, my goal on every wedding day is to capture the moments and emotions that actually matter, the ones I’d want if my own family were still here to look back on. That’s what drives me with every couple I work with: creating images they’ll hold onto forever, not just photos from a day, but memories they can actually feel.

What sets me apart is how personally I take this work. I’m not just handing over a gallery, I’m trying to give my couples images they’ll pass down for generations.

Years of shooting analog film and Super 8 give me a different eye than most digital-only photographers. I bring that film background, the patience, the intentionality, the vintage feel, into everything I shoot, digital included. My real goal on every wedding is simple: give my couples at least ten images that stop them in their tracks, photos that still mean something thirty years from now.

My ideal couple gets it. They understand that the best wedding photos aren’t the most posed ones, they’re the most honest ones. They’re drawn to that timeless, slightly vintage feel that film brings, and they’re genuinely excited about incorporating Super 8 or analog into their day, not just doing it because it’s trendy.

Above all, they trust me to do what I do best, and in return, I give everything I have to make sure their wedding day is documented in a way that feels true to who they are, not manufactured for anyone else.

I come off pretty introverted at first, but once you get to know me, I’m all in: big energy, always down to help out and get involved wherever I can.

I try to live life to the fullest and soak up everything this world has to offer. You’ll usually find my fiancé and I walking the waterfront in St. Pete with our Frenchie. And here’s a fun one: my Aunt Mary was a well-known photojournalist who actually got to interview and photograph the Dalai Lama.

Coffee shops, always. Give me a good espresso and I’m ready to talk shop.

Coffee and film. You really can’t go wrong with either.
