Documentary Wedding & Engagement Photographer | Washington DC
Capturing Real Moments and Unforgettable Stories
The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively. As one of the top 120 wedding photojournalists in the world according to the Wedding Photojournalist Association, I know exactly when to step in and capture a moment - without overtaking the interaction.
