Why Work With Me?

When you hire me as your second shooter, you’re not just getting “extra coverage”; you’re getting a fun, non-awkward, life-of-the-party kind of partner who also happens to know their way around a camera like it’s second nature. I’m the guy who can chat up Grandma, hype up the groomsmen, and still nail the shot without breaking a sweat.

On the tech side, I’m solid: I don’t dip below 1/250 shutter speed unless I’m doing it on purpose, my ISO never creeps past 3200, and I actually understand my settings. Most importantly, I’m not out here trying to copy your shots; If you’re wide at 24mm, I’m in tight at 85mm, giving you variety instead of duplicates.

I already have a portfolio I’m proud of, so you don’t have to worry about me sharing the wedding, my socials, or just being unprofessional in general. You just get a dependable, fully geared-up shooter who makes your job easier… and maybe makes you laugh in the process.
