Back in high school, I fell in love with video production. Something about directing, operating a camera, and editing just fascinated me. This passion followed me to college where I studied Communications. I wanted a hobby so I picked up a picture camera. I remember my cousin asking me to cover his wedding because his photographer backed out on him at the last minute. It was after this wedding, my first, that I wanted to do more. I love capturing emotions, memories, and scenes that make one appreciate beauty. I love taking pictures. When I put the camera down, I like a good movie, listening to music while on the computer, being outside, and learning random stuff. Reruns of The West Wing, How I Met Your Mother, and Arrested Development never get old for me. I like to pass time while watching the Phillies or Flyers, playing trivia games, and enjoying good company. I started up my own photography business in 2013 after serving as an assistant for several years. It has been wonderful covering weddings all over the tri-state area no matter the location. From Philadelphia and South Jersey out to Lancaster, Wilmington, Delaware up to Allentown, and even in my hometown of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. I am a preferred vendor of LEO Design Gallery, a premiere wedding and event planning company in the Philadelphia and Reading area. I placed in the top 10 of the 2014 MyPHL17’s Philly Hotlist competition.
