just a PHOTOGRAPHER

I grew up breathless with the sun; awed by the way it lilted through the tree bows, spilling joy on the grass, the pond and anything it touched. I was equally taken with connection between humans. Even as a young boy, I remember caring so deeply to represent well the beauty of friendship through my little digital Canon point and shoot camera. There where prints plastered all over my walls. 


Growing up hasn’t lessened my obsession with these two parts of life. If anything, I care more than ever to memorialize that childhood wonder of love and light. But, I was on track to go into the ministry- I had my college degree and was working my way through seminary when I was just so impressed by God to go down another road. My wife and I were not happy where we were in our church community or seminary community. So we did the healthy thing and picked up our life and moved upstate to start a family in Wausau and begin again; a fresh, new home, new church, new friends, and new job. 


I had photographed a few weddings already, and it was just the most natural thing to lean into that part of my life. With the support of my sweet wife and community, I jumped full-time into elopements, destinations and weddings. I never looked back. My own wedding had gone so poorly with photos, that I had a vision for how to give everything I had wanted, to my clients. When I say this has been the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done, I’m not kidding. Storytelling is an artform so potent and playful, it speaks into the very essence of what it means to be human. And getting to create something that is more than words- photographs?? Now that is a pursuit that I will never tire of, rather grow old falling more in love with love between humans and this magnificent earth that God has given us.

It didn't begin as a hobby..
