Lifeasart Photography

read moreI document weddings with a mindful balance of pure photojournalism, creative and classic portraits, family photos, and an easing attitude. Here you'll find a wedding photography experience that is authentic and natural and easy and spontaneous and beautiful and respectful and hilarious and ultimately REAL. My approach to family photo sessions is very similar and also rooted in what I believe is truly important to ongoing lives. I create both timeless family portraits as heirlooms, as well as real life stuff that's really the true beauty of your clan.

For most of your wedding I will discreetly and artfully photograph unprompted, meaningful, naturally inspired moments and feelings, which means your wedding day is available for being present with your favorite people (the best stuff in life)! From what I've observed over 500 weddings, you can't anticipate or plan for the greatest moments of your wedding. These fleeting, extra special feelings unfold uniquely for you, and won't show up at anyone else's wedding, because they relate to you, your people, and your ongoing stories.

There are a handful of candid images that I have from my young life, growing up with my family, that tell the real story of who I was and what my experiences were like at that age. Elements in these photos - the homes, the people, their clothes, our connections, the activities and interests - truly pull me back into the decades-old memories. The photos remind me about how I played, where I lived, who I loved, who loved me, and how I sized up in the world.
