I want to thank you for being here and taking the time to look at my work. Choosing a photographer is such an important decision and I’m honored you may be considering me!
There are so many photographers out there right now that it must be a very confusing thing to research. It’s a rare profession in that anyone can have a passion for photography, pick up a camera and call themselves a photographer. Those people learn on the job...alone. The problem there, is that you don’t know what you don’t know. You will only get better at the things you’re already aware of or what you watch on YouTube. I didn’t go that route. Back in 2012, after two years of trying to learn on my own, my work was recognized by master photographer Eli Pitta. I was offered an apprenticeship to study under him and I took it. For two years I studied under Mr. Pitta and I worked my tail off. I already had a natural eye and talent for seeing the most intimate candid moments during a wedding but I had to learn everything else...and I did.
I do put a premium on candid photography. Be it a wedding, private event, or runway show, it’s the ability to capture a moment and compose a perfect image at the same time that allows me to stand out. Of course, I love posing pictures and creating something beautiful but it’s the moments that matter most.
I have an incredible team working for me and my preferred vendor partners are the absolute best in the business.
Again, thank you for spending your time here and I hope to hear from you!
