Photos that feel like your Wedding, not a photoshoot.
Documentary storytelling with relaxed guidance so you can stay present and actually enjoy your day.
Richmond, VA + travel across VA/NC/MD • Limited dates per year
You might be the perfect fit if..
• you want photos that feel natural and unscripted
• you love estate venues and Virginia wineries
• you want vibrant images that feel alive years from now
• you prefer enjoying your wedding instead of posing all day
• you want a photographer who feels calm, experienced, and easy to work with
If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
I photograph adventurous and carefree couples who love their family, celebrate their diversity, and trust in capturing the candid beauty of their love story. Whether you’re hiking to a mountaintop for your vows, saying "I do" in a rustic barn surrounded by loved ones, or celebrating under the stars at a vineyard, I’m here to capture it all.
Most couples tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera. The truth is — you don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you when needed and step back when the real moments happen. That’s when the magic shows up. Because I work closely with every couple, I take a limited number of weddings each year.
If you're planning a wedding in 2026 and beyond, it’s a good idea to check availability early.

Why Couples Hire Me.
“PJ is super fun to work with and has an uplifting personality, he was super flexible for our engagement photos. Following us to three places in the city to make sure everything rocked.”
— Lindsey and Michael
“I don’t have words for PJ. He is amazing. The photos he took were amazing, and he didn’t miss a single detail of our special day. PJ was fantastic to work with, he was one of the vendors that I relied on the most to guide me through the wedding and he made sure my husband and I enjoyed every moment of it.”
— Yasmin and Eman
“PJ was such a blast to work with! He was extremely professional, but also so personable and it made our experience with him so perfect! We received several compliments from our wedding guests about PJ and how kind/patient he was! His work speaks for itself, so I do not need to say it, but his photography is amazing!”
— Nichole and Dominick
You're not looking for stiff poses or someone turning your wedding into a photoshoot.
You want the moments.
The laughter with friends.
Your parents seeing you for the first time.
The quiet pause before the ceremony.
My approach is simple.
When guidance is needed — like family portraits or couple photos — I’ll give relaxed direction so everything flows naturally.
The rest of the day is documented as it unfolds.
That balance creates images that feel emotional, vibrant, and real.
Perfect for estate and winery weddings
I’ve photographed weddings across Virginia including venues like:
• Richmond Venues like Mankin Mansion and The Jefferson Hotel
• Charlottesville winery venues like Early Mountain and Kings Family Vineyards
• countryside estates and private venues
Winery weddings are some of my favorite environments to photograph — beautiful scenery, relaxed energy, and incredible natural light.
Let’s see if your date is available.
Every wedding I take on gets my full attention—so I only book a select number each year.
