You've been planning this day for months. The venue, the flowers, the dress — every detail matters. The last thing you need is a photographer who makes the day feel stiff and staged.

I'm Austin, a Dayton, Ohio wedding photographer who stays relaxed so you can stay relaxed. I follow the light, read the room, and capture what's actually happening — your grandma tearing up during the vows, your best man's face when you walk in, the quiet moment between just the two of you before the reception kicks into high gear.

My approach is candid and documentary-style. Yes, we'll do a few family formals (grandma will insist). But mostly I'm after the real stuff — the laughs, the tears, the chaos, the tender moments. The photos you'll actually hang on your wall.

Coverage Options

Full-day wedding coverage starts at 8 hours. Elopement packages are available for couples who want something more intimate — just you two, incredible light, and zero fuss. Engagement sessions are available as an add-on, and honestly? I recommend them. It's the best way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.

Venues Around Dayton & Beyond

I've shot at venues all over the Dayton area — the Steam Plant, Carriage Hill Farm, Hawthorn Hill, and plenty of backyard ceremonies too. Not local? I travel to Columbus, Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Indiana regularly. Destination weddings? Let's talk.

A Limited Number of Weddings Each Year

I take a limited number of weddings per year so every couple gets my full attention. If you're engaged and want to check your date, reach out now — sooner is always better.
