In 2005 I joined the Army as an Infantryman. While stationed in Germany, I developed a passion for traveling and documenting everything I experienced. I bought a little Sony point-and-shoot camera that I carried everywhere, including my deployments to the Middle East. Whether it be exploring parts of Europe or during a dangerous mission in Iraq, I was shooting my camera.

Once I left the military in 2010, I was a lost soul. PTSD and depression consumed my life and I no longer had a purpose. I knew I loved photography, so I attended college for photojournalism and had dreams of being a war photographer. A few years later I photographed my first wedding.

The moment I discovered weddings, everything changed!

Shooting weddings bridges so many elements of my life's passions together: Surrounding myself with positive people, traveling to amazing locations, and documenting life’s once in a lifetime moments. I realized that I could do photojournalism on people’s best day, rather than their worst.

Wedding photography inspired me to be a better human, and quite literally saved my life because it gave me a purpose again. I've photographed weddings since 2013, and I fall in love with them more and more after each passing year.

Since then I have been awarded over 40 International wedding photography awards in the industry. I have traveled to over 30 countries now, with more on the horizon.
