NEWPORT Rhode Island BASED wedding photographer


Based in Newport I travel throughout New England for incredible couples and their weddings, and have since 2004. If you are looking for a photographer with enough experience to solve any wedding day snafu in stride, smile through all of it, and create timeless heartfelt images of you and your families...you found me! Keep reading!

Unexpected moments, details, portraits, must-have photos…. I’ve got your back on all of it.

I've photographed hundreds of weddings and have found the recipe to making my couples happy is authentically representing my work, getting to know each couple and what they are excited about, then letting nothing stop me from getting those images for them.

I'll move mountains, walk through water (this has happened on more than one occasion), listen to your priorities, and deliver an image collection that will swoon over. All while having a blast! It's not unusual for wedding guests to approach me at the end of the evening saying they watched me smile all day. Creative people get a rush from creating, and I am excited to bring that energy to your day!

Within six weeks of your wedding day, your gallery collection of individually edited images will be delivered to you. Your unique style is front and center in your gallery, revealing the stories and details of your wedding day.


Every client’s gallery is unique, and each image has a purpose.


2026 WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PRICING




Wedding Photography Style (that doesn't fit in a box)

Sometimes I'm searching for an expression before clicking the shutter, and sometimes I'm searching for a cufflink for a detail photo. Many different styles are used throughout the wedding day, and depending on what I've learned about the client I will use some more than others. I wrote an article on wedding photography styles but the long and short of it is if you like what's in my wedding portfolio, you'll love your own images!




Wedding photography for adventurous couples

Looking for a wedding photographer with a sense of adventure? Wondering if you'll find someone who will capture you at the top of a mountain, lakeside at sunrise, or you just want to say to someone "I have this idea....". Let's talk! Seriously. I took a year off to travel the country in an RV with my family and adventure is part of our fabric. If it's part of yours too, let's run with it!




Rhode Island and beyond

I am based a few minutes north of Newport, Rhode Island. I cover all of New England including Mystic and eastern CT, Newport RI, Providence, Cape Cod, Southeast Mass, Worcester, Boston, southern NH and southern Maine.
