Documentary Wedding and Portrait Photography

History

Established in 2002.

I started photographing weddings in 2001 the old-​fashioned way: a friend of a friend heard that I was «good with pictures» and begged me to shoot their wedding. I was working a «real job» at the time, and sports shooting was a hobby of mine. I spent most of my free time in my home darkroom and at the local photo lab, and didn’t dream of turning my hobby into a career. That wedding in 2001 was just a favor for a friend, and I expected it to be the only wedding I would ever shoot.

A year later, I was shooting weddings fulltime. No, I don’t remember how that happened.

Since then, I’ve photographed over 400 weddings in sixteen states (including my home state of Hawaii!)

Business Owner

I was born and raised in Hawaii, and found myself on the east coast of North Carolina at 22. After a decade and a half of living in the south, I can say that I’ve finally acclimated and I really do love it here. I live in Wilmington NC with my spunky daughter, my wonderful partner and other half, and our two cats.
