The photographer behind the work

The photographer


The photographer behind the work

I studied documentary photography at SCAD and spent six years shooting editorial assignments before turning full-time to weddings in 2016. That training shows up in how I work: I move quietly, I anticipate rather than direct, and I stay well past the last dance.

Every wedding I take is exclusive for that date. I do not double-book, and I do not send associates. When you hire me, I am there.

I am based in Charleston and travel throughout the South. Destination work beyond the region is available for three dates per year.

I move quietly. I anticipate rather than direct. I stay well past the last dance.

Selected work


Eight years. Two hundred weddings. One photographer.

Charleston, SC · October 2024

A late October ceremony beneath the oldest landscaped gardens in America. Spanish moss, afternoon light, and a reception that ran until the grounds crew arrived at midnight.

Clients and colleagues

We looked at eleven wedding photographers. Only one made us feel like we would be treated as a couple, not a shoot list. Six months later, our album is the thing our friends actually keep asking to see.

Before you book

Common questions

How far in advance should I book?

Most wedding dates book eight to fourteen months out. Spring weekends in Charleston book faster. If you have a date in mind, reach out immediately -- I hold one date per inquiry for three business days while we discuss.

What exactly is included in the Full Wedding Day package?

Eight hours of on-site coverage, all images edited by hand in Lightroom, a minimum of three hundred high-resolution files delivered via private online gallery, one printed 6x8 look-book of forty pages, and a fifteen-minute call after delivery to review the gallery together.

How long does editing take?

Six weeks from the wedding date for the full gallery. Sneak-peek images (ten to fifteen frames) go out within forty-eight hours. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee.

Do you travel?

Yes. Travel and accommodation are included in all packages for destinations within South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina. For destinations beyond that, I accept three destination bookings per year. Travel costs are added to the package at cost.

Can I print the photos myself?

Yes. Every package includes full personal print rights. You can print anywhere you like. I also offer prints and albums through my preferred lab at cost, which typically beats retail by thirty to forty percent.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We work with it. Rain, fog, and overcast light produce some of the best frames of any wedding I have shot. I do not reschedule for weather. If the ceremony is moved indoors, I adapt. The only thing I cannot control is complete darkness with no venue lighting -- talk to your venue about backup lighting if your reception is outdoors after sunset.
