ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
You care about the whole picture.
You notice the dress, the room, the music, and what the light is doing before the ceremony starts. You want portraits with intention, candid moments that still look considered, and enough perspective to remember where you were, not just who stood in front of the camera.
I photograph weddings in St. Louis and beyond with this balance in mind. The composed frames. Your friends losing it on the dance floor. Family reactions you missed. Architecture you chose for a reason.
If you want photographs that feel honest and artful at the same time, keep scrolling.
Guided when it matters.
Unscripted when it counts.
You will not be left wondering what to do with your hands, where to stand, or whether something looks off. When direction helps, I give it clearly.
Portraits have structure without stiffness. Candids stay honest while still looking intentional. I pay attention to posture, clothing, light, composition, and details you cannot see from where you stand.
When something real takes over, I let it happen.
PORTFOLIO
Wedding stories, engagement sessions, portraits, candids, architecture, family, and everything in between.
What Loose Editorial Means
Loose Editorial means knowing when to direct and when to observe. I step in for posture, light, clothing, composition, or a stronger frame, then step back once the moment is carrying itself.
The result is a gallery with range. Intentional portraits. Real reactions. The people you love. The architecture and atmosphere around you.
Not just a handful of standout images. A complete story from beginning to end.
