My Approach to Wedding Photography
On your wedding day, relax and enjoy the moments—I've got everything under control. Trust me to capture the magic while you relish the celebration.
Let me capture your day, so you can savor the moments—calm, confident, and completely carefree.
My approach to wedding photography is pretty simple: I want you to actually enjoy your wedding day. I’ll give you direction when you need it, help keep things moving when they need to move, and step back when a moment is better left alone. We’ll talk through the timeline and all the important stuff beforehand, so when the day arrives, you don’t have to think about the photos. You can spend time with your people, take everything in, and trust me to capture the real moments happening around you. The goal isn’t to turn your wedding into a photo shoot. It’s to give you great photos without taking you away from the reason you’re there in the first place.
Once you book, I’ll send over a wedding resource guide with some of my favorite Pittsburgh vendors and plenty of tips to help with planning. I’m always here as a resource, whether you need advice on your timeline, locations, logistics, or just want to bounce an idea off someone who’s been to a lot of weddings.
Book
Leading up to the wedding, I’ll check in along the way so nothing gets left until the last minute. We’ll work through your photography timeline, family photo list, locations and anything else that matters to you. By the time the wedding arrives, we’ll already have a plan.
Check-ins
When your wedding day gets here, I want you to feel as confident as Don Draper. You’ll know the photography is handled, where we need to be and when we need to be there. That means less worrying about photos and more time actually enjoying your wedding with the people you love.
Confidence
WE GOT THIS
Making a connection
It starts with a personalized engagement session that goes beyond just capturing photos. It's an opportunity for us to connect, get to know each other, and for you to share the unique aspects of your love story. This session lays the foundation for a comfortable and collaborative partnership as we move towards your big day. If you don't want an engagement session I am always game to grab a coffee, beer, or chat leading up to the wedding!

When the wedding day arrives, my job is to make the photography feel easy. I’ll step in with direction when you need it, help with posing without making anything feel stiff, and step back when real moments are happening on their own. I want you spending your day laughing with your friends, hanging with your family and actually enjoying the party. Not worrying about what you’re supposed to be doing for the camera.
Expect some friendly check-in emails as the big day approaches! We'll keep it breezy and informal, chatting about all the fun details – from your itinerary and timeline to the unexpected quirks you want to highlight. These check-ins are all about making sure your wedding day is as uniquely "you" as it gets.
After the wedding, I’ll get to work putting everything together into a gallery that tells the story of the day from beginning to end. The big moments will be there, but so will the little stuff you didn’t even know was happening. The reactions, ridiculous dance moves, quiet moments and all the people you love having a really good time. Those are usually the photos that get better with age!
He makes the wedding process worry free and there was no concern about the timeline or plans during the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. He was the one vendor who I trusted 1000% and he definitely did not let us down. It was truly an honor to work with Ryan and we could not have imagined our day captured by anyone else!!
