The Journey So Far

Ten years ago, I picked up my first DSLR while on a family trip to the Great American Rockies (pictured on the right). From the moment the shutter first fired in my hand I’ve had a desire to capture all of the most beautiful moments life has to offer. Ever since that day, my passion for photography has driven me to hone my skills to create beautiful imagery that can be cherished for a lifetime.

Seven years later, in 2019, I found my loving and beautiful fiancé, Brianna. We met working in the kitchen together at Chick-fil-A and became attached at the hip, sharing all of our breaks together, spending hours talking in the parking lot after work, and flirting shamelessly until our coworkers could hardly take it anymore. After a couple of weeks of this, I worked up the nerve to kiss her (“finally!”, as Bri would say). An hour or so after our first kiss, I had to call her from the back of an ambulance as the crumpled remains of my old motorcycle were towed away. We often joke that, technically, the Providence Hospital Emergency Room was our first date. When Brianna first walked into the ER, the nurse asked if she was “the motorcycle girlfriend?” to which she quickly and easily responded yes. Truth is, I’m lucky to be alive, and even luckier that she stayed by my side in the month-long hospital recovery process that followed. When I finally recovered, we began sharing our love of photography by traveling to far away places together.

We’ve shared many things together — video games, food, travel — but our favorite is our shared love of photography. We’re truly two sides of the same coin. I’m the technical one, determining the best lighting, camera settings, and angles for beautiful locations, while she’s the people person, effortlessly making everyone feel comfortable and naturally posing them with ease. With all of our knowledge and combined efforts we make a really great team.
