The person behind the Camera
I’m a Philly wedding photographer who thinks you and your story are much cooler than you believe. Back in college, I was the person who always brought a camera to the party. I wanted to have an instant reminder twenty, thirty years down the line that could transport me back to those feelings and moments in a split second. Even before that, you could find me running around the house with my parent’s camcorder making films with my siblings who tired of the “game” long before I did. In fact, I still haven’t tired of it!
I’ve been carrying around some sort of camera (my wife and I have over a dozen at home) for decades now and I’m a chronic people-watcher obsessed with small moments that no one else seems to notice. I find myself wanting to learn what makes each person unique; your love language, your ticks, why you only eat the blue M&M’s. Which leads to my other passion: acting. You might have seen me on a Match.com commercial or mistaking Denis Leary for Christopher Walken. Thus, that nervous feeling you get when you’re in front of the camera? I’ve been there. I understand it. And I can help calm those nerves. As your Philly wedding photographer, I’ll hit pause on your day so you can enjoy it in the moment and for years to come.
I call it casual vibrancy with a dash of cinematic art. Your story is enough. Let’s capture it together.
Meet my Crew:
They Are my Inspiration.
Julia and I met on Instagram. While I still hold to the belief that she asked me out, she denies it. We first collaborated on some street style photography work, which led to her teaching me how to use her grandfather’s old film camera on our first trip together to upstate New York. Little did we know that our social media collaboration would turn out to be the beginning of the rest of our lives. Cut to a few years later, living together in Philadelphia and still pursuing our passions. You can even see that love of street photography and film in my work as a Philly wedding photographer. Julia and I love breakfast sandwiches, new brunch spots, vintage anything, and long afternoons wandering through flea markets.
Kiko came into our lives a year later when Julia fell in love with her on the PSPCA website. They immediately bonded and we haven’t looked back. These two are my biggest fans and their love and support are constant reminders of why I do what I do.

Where do I see myself 30 years:
We’ll be living in an A-frame cabin on a lake, miles from the nearest town. We’d convert a vintage gas station into an arts studio slash coffee shop that sells plants and serves the best breakfast sandwiches. Every morning, I’d drive my vintage car into “work” and park at the back, near the secret walk-up window that serves Mister Softee to the special few who know it exists.

What else would you like to know?
I told you a little about me, your Philly wedding photographer. Now it’s your turn. What do we have in common? What did your mom pack you for lunch growing up? Did you have a Barney birthday party when you were 3? I did and I have video to prove it. You have nothing to lose, in fact, you’ll be gaining a new friend!
