intimate events & elopements

big weddings aren't for for everyone, I get it.


If your idea of a perfect day involves twenty of your favorite people, a killer dinner, and zero seating chart stress, I’m your guy. My intimate collections are designed for the "un-wedding"—the celebrations that feel more like a high-end hang session than a production. I show up, I blend in, and I capture the genuine stuff without making it feel like a photoshoot.

Intimate Photography Collections

Start at $4,800



Wedding photography shouldn't be cookie cutter. It shouldn't be all about the photographer and their vision. It should be apart you two, your story and how as a photographer, I can bring that vision to life without feeling stiff, cheesy, or like every other photograph you've seen on instagram. After all, your story is unique to you and your photographs should be too.

This is the whole soul of the day. By combining high-end stills with cinematic filmmaking, we’re capturing the movement, the shaky breath during the vows, and the energy of a dance floor that’s actually losing its mind. It’s a seamless experience designed to make sure you don’t miss a single second. This is for the couple that wants to feel exactly how it felt every time they hit play.

Life is short, the magic is real, and your story deserves to be told by someone who actually believes in the happily ever after.

Ryan was our wedding photographer and he was truly so amazing! His photos were absolutely stunning! He did our wedding and our engagement photos and everything turned out perfect! On top of the photos, he has the BEST energy!

FAQ

We'd like to book with you, what's the first step?

The first step in this process is to reach out and ensure I’m available for your date. If I’m are available, you’ll want to secure me ASAP as my calendar does tend to fill up about a year in advance. To do that I require a deposit of either $1,500 or 25% of your collection price.

What are your payment terms?

You're in control here. You have the option of: A monthly plan, with a 25% deposit that will take the cost of the package and divide that by how many more months until your wedding. This option gives you a monthly payment to pay over the course of that time. The second option is a $1500 deposit, and then breaking the remaining amount into 3 sections divided evenly: 6 months, 3 months, and 1 month.

Can I upgrade my collection at any time?

Yes! In fact, a lot of couples end up booking us for photography only, then later switch to our photo & video collections. You don’t get charged any upgrade fee, or change fee either. I don’t believe in extra fees. I simply just change your remaining invoices, and upgrade you. The only thing you cant do is change your mind and downgrade any package.

Can I download my images?

Absolutely! Included in all of our collections are high resolution downloads. You own the rights to download and print at any place of your choosing. No watermarks. No weird download rules. There are your photos. For your convenience, I do offer prints directly through our professional lab as well.

How long does it take to receive the deliverables?

We understand the anticipation of seeing your final product. Our editing process typically takes 4-8 weeks for photo and 8-12 weeks for video, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.

Who actually documents my wedding?

I do! As the lead photographer and videographer my role on your day of will all depend on the needs and dynamic but, my wife Jenn is usually the go to lead photographer and I'm usually your lead videographer. If Jenn isn't available we use one of our incredible associate photographers to join us on the day of. But don't worry - I still will lead and direct the day to ensure we're all on the same page.

What is a Documentary Edit?

A Doc edit is your full ceremony, full intros and dances, cake cutting, and speeches all into one film. Vs our "Ceremony + Speeches" edit is just what it sounds like.

Do you shoot film?

While I admire film, I leave it to the folks who obsess with it. I'm pretty good with a Polaroid but that's as far as I go.
