I have two great loves in my life (besides my wife, my family, and my 10 pets): fine art photography and weddings.
I graduated with my BFA in Fine Art Photography from the Corcoran College of Art & Design, four months before I married my wife Natalie. I loved every moment of wedding planning – from tastings (yum) to hand-binding our guest books to screen printing our invitations.
At the same time, I was deeply invested in my art, focusing particularly on creating a feminist-influenced digital installation.
So how does a feminist, funky, Martha-Stewart loving, crafter and artist combine all this passion? Into a wedding photography company focused on artistic composition, attention to DIY details, and catering to LGBT and allied couples. I bring my passion, drive, service, and artistry to every couple with whom I work.
