Family Is My Sanctuary
Yes, I love love Apple Struddle and will go the distance to get my hands on some or any great European pastry. In the 1980's, I was born in an East German suburb near Berlin. Both of my grandfathers inspired me to take pictures early on in life, and so I did. After I migrated to the US in my 20's, I met my wife and rest is a beautiful love story. Together we raise our "little angle" Noelle. I'm keen on reminding myself that each day is a gift and that I''m responsible on what to do with it.
Frequently Ask Questions
WHY DO YOU SHOT TEN WEDDING ANNUALLY ONLY?
Back in 2013 I started shooting weddings full time. Over the course of 5 years I shot 100+ weddings. For the client, their wedding is one of the most significant days in their lives. As a photographer you meet your couples on the same emotional level each time in order to produce the best results. Twenty plus weddings each season took a toll on creative outlook and inspiration. During the process I burned out and started pursuing commercial photography instead. After a 3 year break from weddings I started taking on new clients but with an annual cap of ten weddings.

We use professional grade cameras from Canon and Sony. Our lenses are SIGMA ART and CANON L-SERIES. On certain occasions we bring vintage range finder lenses.
