Wedding days move fast. Timelines shift, emotions run high, and things don’t always go exactly as planned.
That’s part of what makes them meaningful—and it’s also why I’m comfortable in that environment.
Cincinnati Wedding Photographer
I’m a Cincinnati wedding photographer focused on capturing natural, candid moments with just enough direction to keep things feeling relaxed and real.
I photograph both full wedding days and smaller weddings, including backyard celebrations and shorter timelines.
Background
Before photography, I spent 15 years as a Cincinnati police officer. Five of those year as a sergeant.
That experience taught me how to stay calm under pressure, read situations quickly, and pay attention to what’s actually happening in front of me.
Those same instincts carry directly into how I photograph weddings—anticipating moments, staying unobtrusive, and adjusting quickly when things change.

How I Approach a Wedding Day
My approach is simple: I document what’s real, and step in when needed.
Most of the day is captured candidly—people interacting naturally, without being interrupted or over-directed.
When it’s time for portraits or family photos, I’ll guide things just enough to keep everything efficient and comfortable, without making it feel staged or forced.
Beechmont Stories
I also run Beechmont Stories, a local storytelling project focused on people and everyday life in the community.
That work sharpened how I observe small, real interactions—something that directly carries into how I photograph weddings.
What It's Like to Work With Me
I keep things straightforward. I’ll help with your timeline, keep things moving when needed, and step back when it matters.
The goal is for you to feel comfortable, not like you’re performing for a camera.

Cincinnati and Surrounding Area
I photograph weddings throughout Cincinnati, Anderson Township, and Northern Kentucky.
Whether your wedding is at a venue, a church, or in your backyard, the goal is the same—document it honestly and without unnecessary complication.
