A bit about me

 

BASED IN ST. PETERSBURG, FL | WEDDING, PORTRAIT & EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY SINCE 2005



What started as a hobby in 2005 became a professional photography career spanning weddings, family portraits, bliss sessions, and corporate events across the Greater Tampa Bay Area. I don’t label myself as just a "St. Pete wedding photographer" or a "Tampa event photographer"—I am simply a visual storyteller who brings the same meticulous care to every single session.  My approach is simple: pay attention, stay out of the way, and let real moments happen naturally. I believe in timeless imagery that still feels true to you a decade from now—classic, clean, and honest.  When I’m not behind the camera, I’m out for a run enjoying the beautiful parks and coastal paths that make the Tampa-St. Petersburg metro so vibrant. That same appreciation for an unhurried, natural lifestyle carries directly into how I direct my clients and capture light.  Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, I regularly travel for sessions throughout Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. I would be honored to document your upcoming wedding day, capture your next family milestone, business portrait or provide professional event photography for your company.

 

 

Can't wait to capture your story,

How i work

OUR PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS: FROM CONSULTATION TO FINAL GALLERY


It starts with a personal consultation about your wedding day, family portrait session, or upcoming event. We will talk through your specific timeline, look over availability, and select the perfect photography locations around the St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay area.On the day of your shoot, my goal is simple: capture authentic, unhurried moments while staying entirely out of the way. Afterward, every final image undergoes professional photo editing for a classic, clean look. Your high-resolution digital files are delivered through a secure, private online gallery with full download access. For physical keepsakes, all custom print orders are processed through a professional photo lab, ensuring archival quality prints and wedding albums that hold up for decades to come.

 

 

my Style

MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE: CLASSIC, TIMELESS & TRUE-TO-LIFE  



My photography style centers on classic compositions, natural light, and genuine expressions over forced poses or heavy editing trends. I specialize in documentary wedding photography and authentic lifestyle portraits that capture real moments and real connection.I aim for photographs that feel honest, simple, and beautifully executed. Rather than chasing fleeting internet filters, I focus on true-to-life color and timeless imagery that you will still love twenty years from now. Whether documenting a St. Petersburg wedding, a family milestone session, or a local corporate event, my goal is to deliver clean, elegant photographs that never look dated.
