When Brooke and Connor reached out for a sunrise session at Lago di Braies, I knew we were in for something special. Connor spends his professional life at 200 mph as a pro race car driver, so there was something poetically beautiful about trading the roar of an engine for the silence of the Dolomites […]

There is something transformative about the Dolomites in early March. The air is crisp, the peaks are draped in winter white, and if you’re lucky, you get that perfect “blue hour” glow just before the sun hits the Sciliar. When Abdel reached out to me a few months ago, he was looking for more than […]

What Couples are Spending Money on Instead of a Big Wedding Since around 2020, the way we get married has been changing.

Being a Photographer Who Actually Thinks About Impact I travel for a living. The Dolomites, Switzerland, Iceland, remote valleys at sunrise, cliffs that try to blow us into the ocean.

Winter Proposal in Äkäslompolo Dale first reached out to me because he was planning something big and a little intimidating. He wanted to propose in Finnish Lapland, in the middle of winter, in a place neither of us had ever been before. He didn’t just need a photographer, he needed someone who could really help […]
