Virginia City Wedding Photographer | Piper’s Opera House | Brenda + Dillon

By |January 1st, 2024|Nevada, wedding|

When Brenda first contacted me about being her Virginia City wedding photographer she gushed over my love for guacamole, enticed me with BBQ and promised me a man dressed as a miner with a donkey. We never found the miner, or the donkey, but they did have a pistol packing preacher in a top hat (he had to check his gun at the Opera House gun check), fry bread, delicious promised BBQ, and both Brenda and Dillon have really wonderful and calm spirits. When some things didn’t go as planned (sometimes red lipstick gets on wedding dresses), there was nary a beat in anyone’s steps because these two are so incredibly cool (so hot they’re cool! so cool they’re hot!). For future incidents: laughter helps and so do Tide pens!

If you are a business at the forefront of tech, or at the intersection of tech and finance, it should come as no surprise that the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) stands at the epicenter of innovation as far as conferences go.

Pinecrest Chalet Wedding | Pinecrest, CA | Jesse and Megan

By |December 11th, 2023|wedding|

I frequently get hired for a very specific niche of the destination wedding market and it is one that I love. Summer camp weddings bring me immense joy. They cater to clients who seek unconventional celebrations: rowing boats to your ceremony, hosting a bike parade, or cutting a cake with a chainsaw—this is where my ideal clients thrive. Megan and Jesse's Pinecrest Chalet wedding is another standout example of an outdoorsy couple who held an absolutely perfect weekend celebration, filled with lakeside games, nature walks, and campfire whiskey sessions, all which perfectly aligns with the essence of adult summer camp and the perfect Venn diagram of things that I love.

By |November 27th, 2023|Commercial Photography, Event Photos|

I have been a traveling corporate event photographer for over a decade now, serving events such as SXSW in Austin, the NICC in Reno, CES in Las Vegas, and more. When I was hired by Bluegreen.org to photograph their Austin event, SPC Impact, they were so pleased with my deliverables that I am now their in-house event photographer. Most recently, I was thrilled to perform as a Boston event photographer for them at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport for SPC Advance, a smaller but still fascinating event by a company I love working for.

Should you choose to completely disregard my advice in my previous blog post about all the reasons why you should hold your Emerald Bay wedding by boat, then I am still here for you, albeit perhaps a bit begrudgingly. It is the hard truth that although picturesque, getting married or eloping at the top of Emerald Bay comes with significant challenges. You might think that an intimate wedding with less people provides less stress, but I can tell you with certainty (as can Chris and Stacy) that it does not in Emerald Bay. Still dedicated to an Emerald Bay elopement? Read on my friend.
