I didn't get into this to take pretty pictures. I got into this because I believe the way you love each other deserves to be remembered exactly as it is.

MY STORY

I grew up in a small town in southern Utah, surrounded by red rock and wide open sky. I picked up my first camera at seventeen and never really put it down. What started as a way to hold onto moments became a career built entirely around other people's most important ones. After years of second shooting and assisting, I photographed my first solo wedding in 2015 in Zion National Park. The couple cried during their vows, their dog crashed the ceremony, and their grandmother danced until midnight. I knew immediately this was exactly where I was supposed to be.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Documentary first

I'm not here to pose you every five minutes. I'm here to watch, anticipate, and catch what's actually happening.

Light over everything

California and Utah gives us some of the most extraordinary natural light in the world, golden hours that last forever.

Timeless, 
not trendy

I shoot and edit for the long game, images that look just as beautiful in thirty years as they do today.
