Tell us about your business!

I am a music and documentary photographer who got into weddings by way of my artists. I fell in love with capturing important images while having so much fun. I have specialized in film in all my various careers in photography.

What would you like couples to know about you?

Timeless doesn't mean boring.

Where are you based?

New York and New England.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes!

How would you describe your style?

I call it “aesthetic candid” – we capture true emotion, while making it look good.

What is your most memorable career moment?

Snoop Dogg’s bodyguard told me I was cool.

What inspires you?

It’s the cliché of everything around me but it’s true. I get excited by the MET as much as something neat on Instagram, as much as a song.

On a day, I react to the light and the scene. It’s why I love shooting in New York, where it is always a collaboration with the city.

How would you describe your working style?

I am pretty direct, and have no issue controlling family photos. But mostly, I like to keep the energy fun and happy, it’s a party after all. Most importantly, I’d rather you spend your day with each other than with me, so I keep photos easy.

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

I shoot both, with film as the root of all packages. I do specialize in full film coverage.

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?

My packages are a choose your own adventure. I have base structures I recommend for different types of days, with time, materials and crew, but everything is adjustable to your vision. I also have a ton of add-ons that make for a really personal experience.

What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?

My favorite product has been the camcorders for guests. It allows your guests to capture the video of your day from their POV, and we make sure the batteries stay charged and it doesn’t get abandoned.

Where would you love to travel to for work?

Honestly, after working music tours for years I love to travel for fun, and go home to my farm after a long day at work.

Who is your dream client?

My dream clients are focused on the love and feelings of their day, not the photos. But they do love nice photos.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

Avoid the stress. Enjoy the day. It might rain, something might shift, but at the end of the day all of your people are there to celebrate you. Enjoy them, enjoy your love, and let life happen.
