I have been working weddings for a year officially. By May 2025, I will have done 9 weddings as a lead, 5 weddings as a second shooter, and 6 weddings as an assistant.

I work within the documentary style and photojournalistic space. I love to capture candid moments during the ceremony and beyond. Some of my favourite pictures to take are reception photos because they make for such good candids.

I also love to observe the little details and to capture those. One of the reasons I love this style of photography is because I can utilize my eye for detail.

I shoot both film and digital and I have divided my gear as such.

Digital:

• 2 R6 Camera bodies

• 75-300 mm lens

• 85 mm lens

• 50 mm lens

• 24-75 mm lens

• 24-75 mm wide angle lens

• 2 off camera flashes

Film:

• One canon Elan camera body

  • 75-300 mm lens

  • 50 mm lens

• Holga 120mm

• Kodak Ektar H35

Currently, I am accepting weddings with a hourly rate of $50/hr.
