SERVICES — FILM & DIGITAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

the approach

OBSERVANT / UNHURRIED / FILM & DIGITAL

I ask a lot of questions before I photograph anyone. How you are together, what your families are like, whether there's anything complicated I should know about

By the time I'm in a room with you, the context is already familiar.

On the day itself I try to know when to step in and when to disappear. If something real is happening in front of me, my job is to be there quietly — not to adjust the frame, not to interrupt.

I work in film — 35mm and 120 medium format — and digital. The darkroom is part of the process — negatives developed and printed by hand, one at a time.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT SOMETHING MADE CAREFULLY AND KEPT FOR DECADES.

Your story, preserved on analog film.
Hand-developed in the darkroom.
Printed on fine art paper.
Archived for decades to come.

This is our most exclusive offering—crafted for couples who value process, depth, and presence.

Shot on film and printed by hand in the darkroom on museum-grade paper. Every negative is developed individually. Every print comes out slightly different — not a flaw, just how the process works.

No two prints are exactly the same, no matter how carefully you repeat the process. That's what makes them worth keeping.

BY THE SECOND DAY, YOU FORGET THE CAMERA IS THERE.

TEN TO TWELVE
WEDDINGS A YEAR.
NO MORE THAN THAT

Not as a positioning strategy. Just because this kind of work takes time, and time doesn't stretch.

If what you want is someone to show up, shoot the ceremony, and send files — there are good photographers who do that well. If you want something slower, write to me.
