I first picked up a camera back in my very early 20’s because I had yet to find the artistic outlet I had been looking for. Back then, digital photography was still a new thing, so like many, I shot on film for years. I loved every part of it, and I was surprised when people began to tell me that they liked the photos I was producing. I never expected it to be anything more than a hobby, because we all know that it is tough to make it in fine art. But after a friend asked me to photograph his daughter’s wedding (and I grudgingly agreed), I realized that I had a knack for weddings that might prove useful. To be honest, I loved shooting that wedding, and for zero experience or knowledge about weddings, the photos that came out of that day were surprisingly good.
Years later, I am still at it. Now, we are a full-time wedding studio producing some of the most progressive work in the St. Louis area. We not only are blessed by being able to do something we love for a living, but we have the joy of working with people on the best day of their lives. It’s wonderful.
Most of my personal inspiration comes from nature and architecture. We tend to specialize in those more “dramatic” looking portraits, and when I see a great building with lovely lines or a beautiful tree or field, I am hooked instantly.
