I didn’t take a conventional path to wedding photography—but looking back, every step made perfect sense.

Growing up in Virginia Beach, I was shaped by the ocean, the laid-back coastal energy, and a natural curiosity for the world around me. I first fell in love with storytelling back in 2018 while working on my high school yearbook, but life soon pulled me in a different direction. I earned a science degree from Tidewater Community College, convinced I had my entire life mapped out.

But logic rarely overrides passion. Over the next five years, my path kept leading me straight back to the camera. I dedicated myself to the craft—shadowing mentors, second-shooting weddings, and completely immersing myself in the art of photography. Then, in early 2026, my life took another pivotal turn when I pursued a lifelong dream of becoming a firefighter. Serving my community on the truck taught me how to read a room, calm the chaos, and connect with people on a profoundly human level.

Today, I am that same creative kid who returned to his roots, armed with a deep purpose.

I believe that living your wedding day to the fullest is infinitely more important than the timeline, the logistics, or forcing a perfectly posed portrait. You deserve a photographer who puts your peace and your emotions first. When you are free to feel, laugh, and celebrate, that is exactly where the most honest, beautiful, and meaningful photos are born.
