Documentary film and digital wedding and portrait photography in Vermont

Hybrid Wedding and Portrait Sessions

I continue to photograph on film, alongside digital. Hybrid wedding and portrait sessions—using both film and digital—offer a thoughtful blend of softness, depth, and flexibility, and are becoming more and more sought after.

What's In The Bag?

It’s Not Just the Camera — It’s the Photographer Behind It

I’m a Sony professional, and while I own a well-equipped kit, I intentionally keep things simple when photographing weddings and portraits. My camera is an extension of my eye—second nature—so I can stay fully present and ready for those decisive, unscripted moments as they unfold. Experience, timing, and creative vision matter far more than any single piece of equipment.

That said, preparation is essential. I always arrive with professional-grade gear and full backups, ready for unexpected lighting, weather, or timeline shifts. Being prepared allows me to work seamlessly and confidently, ensuring nothing interrupts the flow of your day or the story being documented.
