Behind the lenses, all of us are suffering and often going through some of the hardest times of our lives, yet we show up in profound ways to honor love. We carve into the heart of our realities, searching for those small glimpses of happiness.
This year has been one of the hardest of my life, professionally as well as personally. Yet I have found ways to show up. And in moments, this work saves me. I think the same occurs for the couples I work with. The stories behind the lens are often darker, and what I create offers a glimpse of that truth. This isn’t only about smiles, but about interweaving the surreal of reality into the mundanity of a wedding—the way love and reality blur together, all as one, and yet disconnected at the same time.
Caitlin and Matt truly spoke to my soul. Our time together was a testament to my love affair with photography and why I love the work I do. I would be honored if this wedding were published, and if somehow the message could be woven into the images as well: that art saves so many of us. Within the pain, within the fibers of a canvas—or for me, in the capturing of imagery—we find meaning. We find survival. We find love.

G i admire you so much and i was so honored to get to capture you ..
filmmmmm is back. one of my last weddings for the year, and this is maybe my favorite photo of 2025 :) just kidding so many more amazing photos from this crazy, incredible wedding.
i will say though, this has been a year that has tested every aspect of who i am, i’ve become so keenly aware of how i want to treat people, and in turn how i want to be treated and held by the people i give my attention and love to. be kind isn’t always easy, but it’s such a worthwhile fight to have in me.
it’s been such a pleasure getting to know this incredibly talented human being. it started off as casual interactions, but over the last few years a real and meaningful friendship has blossomed and we always end up talking for hours. so grateful for this connection, and to finally get to capture him. 🤍 thank you joey !
