I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember. Literally. Somewhere in a box amongst my grandmother's belongings, you'll find albums of holidays and gatherings filled to the brim with photographs with an unexpected perspective:
the eye level a three-foot tall five year old. 

Despite spending my early years with mostly digital cameras, every year I've gravitated more and more towards the analog and the tangible. When life moves fast and it's hard to keep up, I find comfort in things I can make with my hands and photos I can hold. I shoot as much of my work on film as possible and spend many days in the darkroom working on prints for clients.

Photography has been a thread throughout my entire life — from photography club to yearbook staff to photos of friends' bands to a college newspaper to a commercial portrait studio. Years and years of dabbling in everything led to finding a place where I can pursue both my love of art as well as honest storytelling. 

That place is weddings.
