Tell us about your business!
My business is an extension of my passion. I’ve been lucky enough to be a witness to weddings across the world spanning the better part of a decade. This is an art for me as much as it is anything and I feel very privileged to get to work hand in hand with my clients in achieving cool imagery we’re both really excited about.
What would you like couples to know about you?
I really love what I do.
Where are you based?
I’m based in the Los Angeles area.
Do you travel for weddings?
Quite often, yes.
How would you describe your style?
Hard to say, I’m always shooting on intuition. But I’d say it’s a mix of timeless and classic imagery while combining the aesthetics of contemporary art and fashion.
What is your most memorable career moment?
Shooting a certain celebrities wedding who I’ve always admired. I wasn’t able to show the photos due to the high profile nature of the person but it was a total honor.
What inspires you?
My wife. My kids.
How would you describe your working style?
Laid back professional, I guess. The feedback I hear a lot from my clients is they feel really relaxed around me. That’s always been cool to hear.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
Mostly film.
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
Yep!
What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?
I love coming out the day before the wedding and covering the rehearsal dinner. This always helps me build rapport with my clients’ friends and family making the wedding day even smoother.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
I’ve been lucky enough to see and photograph a lot of my dream destinations (I'm not opposed to going back to Amalfi). That said, I lived in Montana for a spell and have always thought photographing a wedding there would be a really special opportunity.
Who is your dream client?
Happy people who love each other.
How do you select music for your films?
My wife’s always giving me the best music for inspiration.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
Find vendors that’ll make you feel chill and in the moment. These people set the vibe and energy for your day and are critical in how you experience all of it.
