As a wedding photographer in Rochester, Buffalo, the Finger Lakes, and Syracuse, my approach is simple: capture your day authentically while creating timeless, creative portraits. I blend photojournalism with contemporary photography, allowing your wedding to unfold naturally without unnecessary staging or distraction.

Storytelling Through Photojournalism

Your wedding day is filled with genuine emotion and once-in-a-lifetime moments. I take a mostly unobtrusive role, documenting laughter, tears, and everything in between as the story naturally unfolds. From the excitement of getting ready to the celebration on the dance floor, I preserve each chapter of your day.

Creative & Relaxed Portraits

While I never over-direct, there are times when I’ll step in to guide you into beautiful light or create classic portraits. I’ll give just enough direction to help you feel comfortable and natural, ensuring portraits that feel authentic, romantic, and fun.

Focused on What Matters Most

My approach is centered on you, your family, and your loved ones. I am there to highlight your relationships and emotions, not to become the center of attention. The result is wedding photography that feels personal, timeless, and true to your story.
