I am a professional wedding, portrait, and event photographer located in central Connecticut.
I am what you might call a photo nerd. I love everything about photography, from understanding the science behind it, to geeking out over new gear, to learning new techniques, to appreciating others’ work.
But most of all, I love working with my clients to create something beautiful for them to treasure. There’s a reason I’m not a landscape photographer or a product photographer (though that can be fun too). I love meeting new people, laughing with them, and sharing my vision.
My interest in Photography started as a natural affiliation with beauty and narrative. While photography promises a glimpse of the truth, it delivers a tall tale constructed through the vision of the photographer and limited by a mechanical apparatus. Unlike film, Photographs draw the viewer in to a single tableau, asking each detail to be scrutinized and appreciated for what it is. Texture, color, light, and shapes are frozen, allowing me to go back to them again and again. In this world where everything moves at hyper-speed, it is nice to take a step back and really look at a single still image.
Although I occasionally make black and white images, my heart is in color. Bright colors, muted colors, joyful colors. Happy, playful, celebratory colors. The world is already filled with heartbreak and struggle. I feel no need to add to this in my work. I also like people. Old people, young people, people with stories, real or imagined.
