Humanity on
Display.

I believe that people are inherently interesting, and complex, and worthy of being photographed. Even the family members that embarrass you, even the inappropriate speeches your friends make, the kids who are running in circles. 

Everything that surrounds your life is incredible. Weddings have a display of humanity that you can't find anywhere else. I don't believe that family and relationships fit into neat little boxes, but rather they're a messy whirlwind of complexity that photographs can only begin to scratch the surface of.

And that, above all else, is what matters. In a single sentence, I can promise you this:

I give a damn.

I invite you to step into a world where the photographer you work with isn't judging you and isn't posing a fake version of you - but rather, is seeing you for exactly who you are. 

I promise you, above all else, that you will be photographed with reckless honesty and a version of acceptance you've never experienced before.

I'm the
leap-out-of-my-seat for a photograph type,
the know-what-happens-next-before-it-happens type,
the this-matters and you-matter type,
the never-check-my-phone-at-dinner type,
the people-come-first type. 

These photographs will make your family
cry,
laugh,
and laugh-until-they-cry,
both now and 50 years from now.

To see you for all that you are, all that you've been through, and all that it took to be standing here in front of me in this moment.



I will never dismiss you, never make you feel like unworthy of the camera, never secretly wish that your event is anything other than what it currently is.



I will welcome the lived experience that you and your guests are having, reality of puppy kisses and screaming kids and all.



I will, with my whole being and my whole heart, truly believe that you and every individual I photograph matters.



Because you do. And I will be a witness to testify so.

YOU

Hi. I'm thankful you're here, and it would be an incredible honor to photograph your legacy. 

The TAD logo? That's my actual handwriting. It's one way I could think to represent how truly invested I am in every aspect of serving you. The people and experiences around you are woven into your life, just as much as this business and my couples are woven into mine. These people and experiences and little life oddities are often the best things.

SUPERPOWERS:

Being in the middle of the action, but being stealthy and unobtrusive

Eating an entire table's worth of pre-dinner bread

always being in the right place, right time

What an honor. There's a level of trust that it takes to believe that a photographer can take pictures that will remind you of your marriage party, of your life, of all the things you love - to tell the truth.



I'd be more than honored to do so.

"This is exactly what we want."
