About My Photography Process and Me

Some photographers show up with an army of equipment and spend the day directing every moment. That's not me.

I stay back. I watch. I wait for the laugh that happens when you're not looking, the tear your dad tries to hide, the moment your best friend grabs your hand. Those are the photographs you'll still be looking at in thirty years - and they only happen when you forget the camera is there.

Thirty years from now, if you remember me, I've failed. When you look back at your photos, I want you to remember the moments - the laughter, the chaos, the people you love. Not the Polish guy with the camera. That means I did my job.

(However, you CAN remember me five years from now? I could use the referral.😉)

I learned photography the hard way: as a photojournalist in the late 1990s, where you got one chance to capture the moment or you missed it forever. That instinct is baked into everything I do at weddings now.

A few things that matter to you:

I photograph one wedding per day. Yours is never competing for my attention.

I do every edit myself, start to finish. No outsourcing, no outside labs.

My gear stays quiet and unobtrusive - I shoot with Fujifilm cameras, which are compact, discreet, and beloved by documentary photographers for exactly that reason. (I host the FujiLove podcast and work closely with Fujifilm, so I stay at the forefront of what the best tools can do for your wedding day.)

I'm a Polish-American New Englander who has been photographing weddings across NH, MA, Maine, Vermont and beyond for over two decades. I know these venues, these seasons, and this light.

Weddings are expensive. Photography shouldn't feel like an obstacle. Reach out and let's talk - most couples find my pricing comes in under what they budgeted.
