What I Shoot

Weddings & Engagements

Weddings are beautiful and chaotic in equal measure. My job is to be the calm in the middle of it, someone who knows what they're doing, can guide you through the moments that need directing, and disappear into the background for the ones that don't.

Concerts & Live Music

Concert photography is as much about instinct as timing. Having shot everything from small club shows to festival stages, I know how fast a moment comes and goes. There's no resetting, no second take. My goal is simple: you look at the image and feel like you were in the room.

Restaurants & Bars

Shooting for a bar or restaurant isn't just about making the product look good - it's about showcasing what you're proud of and why. Having spent years working in service myself, I know how much goes into what ends up in front of a guest, whether that's a new cocktail menu, a seasonal special, or the room's atmosphere on a good night. Our shared background will make the collaboration seamless.

Architecture & Commercial

For me, architecture is about human presence in built spaces, whether the human is visible or not. Structures are shaped by memory, light, and human intention. I’m drawn to the quiet relationship between structures and trees, the tension between permanence and change, the way natural light reveals the character of a room. My goal isn’t just to document a space, but to translate how it feels to stand observing it. Every line, shadow, and material choice becomes part of a larger narrative about how we inhabit the world.


Josh is the real deal. We booked him for our wedding, and without hesitation, he was one of the best decisions we made. Weddings are beautiful, but they are also chaotic, emotional, and a little unhinged. At one point we were absolutely running around like headless chickens. Josh never flinched.

He was calm, grounded, and present. While everything felt like it was moving at 200 miles an hour, he just locked in and did his thing. No ego. No drama. Just quiet confidence and serious talent.
