A CT photographer captures moments that embrace individuality

Hello There, I'm TJ.

Your tattooed coffee connoisseur and Wookiee linguist with a set of chops that make Wolverine cry.

Growing up photography wasn't a thought in my head. I was about that video game, MTG, and what you might call nerd stuff. At a young age I fell in love with cinema's "movie magic" and that WHOA feeling you get when you finish a good movie. The story, the action, the lighting, the lines, I LOVED IT.

However, It wasn't until two combat tours in Iraq and raising a family of my own that I discovered how important photography was to me.

Photography is the only way to ensure every meaningful moment will be there when you need them the most.

Trust Is The Currency Of Life:

In life, trust is everything. It's not just a nice idea; it's the currency we deal in every day. When you meet someone new, the first thing you assess is whether you can trust them. It's what makes people go from being strangers to good friends. Trust is what makes life awesome. Trust is your superpower!

When it comes to your wedding photography, you need a friend-tographer in the room you can feel comfortable around all day and trust. Not someone who only sees you as their next paycheck with legs.

My style and approach to documenting your day:

I believe in candid storytelling, which means I want you to be the truest versions of yourself. This is a time in your life when you should embrace the inside jokes, make your partner feel important, and show off those real emotions that bind your relationship.

When it comes to those more hands-on moments, I will guide you into perfect lighting and locations, then sparking genuine interactions through deep conversations and fun prompts.

If you want to pop champagne and rock out or have an impromptu lightsaber battle, please...GO FOR IT!

Every photograph of your wedding day should bring you right back to the moment it happened, so make it count.
