GET TO KNOW:
I currently reside in Northern Colorado with my wife of 5 years and hound pup. When I’m not out photographing you’ll find me spending quality time with friends. I love to camp, explore 4x4 roads and fish. Mel and I have our favorite coffee shops across town; Bindle Coffee, Little bird and Dark Heart to name a few. We also love hanging out at Horsetooth for sunset and exploring antique shops on rainy days. From a personality standpoint I’m an introvert with extroverted tendencies. I can can hang with the crowd but also love quality one on one time with old and new friends. If you’re looking to work with someone that’s easy going, loves a good laugh and is an old soul, I might just be the one for you.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE & APPROACH

Documenting your day as it happens with minimal direction

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE AND WHAT TO EXPECT

You can expect a candid documentary approach to your wedding day. My goal is to photograph your day from the perspective of a guest. I believe this is the most genuine approach to wedding photography and will give you photographs that give you a visual to relive each moment of your day.

Please know that I will offer direction and guidance when desired for you as a couple and for group photos so you don’t have to worry about where to look or what to do. The more present you can be with each other and with your loved ones on your day will lead to the best candids!

SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER

I’d suggest having a second shooter if you have more than 75-100 guests. This will give you a wider, yet more focused view of your day, including more photos of you and your loved ones.

Add a second photographer for a $95 hourly rate to any wedding day collection

NOTES:
If you have a second photographer they will be a professional with years of experience photographing weddings. I do not allow second photographers without experience looking to build their portfolios. I am also capable of photographing your entire day without a second so it really comes down to preference.

TRAVEL:
• International weddings [minimum 6 hours coverage] + $1500
• Domestic weddings outside of Colorado + $1,000
• If the location overlaps with another booking travel costs will be split
