I’ve always been fascinated with photography. I guess I first got “the bug” at age seven when my dad built my mom a darkroom in our basement. It was then that I learned that photography was more than just a means of documenting the chapters in our lives, but that it was also an art form.

I attended Boston University where I studied business but my marketing professor - after viewing my group's commercial -insisted that I go to film school. My aptitude tests in high school and college all pointed to photography and film as the top professions. Shortly after graduating, I built my very own darkroom. A few years later, I took some photos at a friend’s wedding. I developed the film and gave the newlyweds prints as my gift to them and their parents. Not much longer thereafter I received a very flattering note in which they pointed out that my photos were far better than their photographer’s. It was then that I started to take wedding photography seriously.

Less than two years after starting my photography business, I won the award for Best Wedding Photographer in Boston. I went on to win this award one more time and was runner up twice prior to moving my business and family to the Austin area. I’ve also been featured as a Couples Choice Award Photographer, a total of nine times. I feel that the client experience is just as important as the images delivered. I do my best to learn and recall everyone’s name in the wedding party - a couple’s closest and dearest friends. I love documenting weddings!

My wife, Amy and I have two children - Chelsea and Lincoln. Towards the end of 2018 we acquired one more - Cooper, the Goldendoodle!
