Not your average photographer bio

Hey, I’m Bryan.
I’m not here to blend in, and I know you aren’t either.

I’m not here to impress you with a perfectly curated highlight reel or pretend I’ve got it all figured out. That’s not real, and it’s not what I’m about.




Honesty. Depth. Presence.

Holding space for the kinds of moments you can actually feel. The quiet ones. The gut-punching real ones. The ones that don’t need an audience to matter.

I built this business for people like you: the ones who want their wedding day to be more than just a checklist. The ones who feel most alive on a quiet trail, in their favorite boots, hand-in-hand with the person they love. The ones who care less about the “shoulds” and more about making honest, meaningful memories they’ll actually want to relive.

Let's make your dream day come true

Learn about how I serve you and what inspired me to become an elopement photographer

I didn’t grow up dreaming about being a photographer. I was the kid who felt things deeply and noticed the stuff no one else did: the quiet moments, and the unspoken connections. That stayed with me.

Before I picked up a camera, I worked as an engineer. Then a minister. I’ve always been chasing purpose and people. It wasn’t until I stepped behind the lens that it clicked; this is where I’m meant to be. Walking with people through the big, beautiful, raw moments of their life. Helping them feel seen.

I know what it’s like to try to fit in, to play by the rules, to do what’s expected. I planned the traditional wedding. Felt the weight of pressure and performance. And I still look back wishing I’d honored what we really wanted - something slower, simpler, more us.

That’s why this work matters to me. That’s why I’m all in for you.


What shapes me, and why I do this

Making your love story and everlasting work of art

How do you serve us?

It’s not the mountains, though yeah, I’ll never get tired of them.
It’s not the adventure, though I love a good summit.

No, what really inspires me is people choosing to live honestly.
Cutting through the noise and saying, this is who we are. This is how we love. This is what matters to us.

I’m inspired by couples who show up fully. Messy, beautiful, authentic, and real.
By the way you look at each other when no one’s trying to capture it.

I’m inspired by stillness. By movement. By the raw, unfiltered moments that make you feel something.

The kind of moments that don’t just photograph well, but also mean something.

That’s what I chase. That’s what keeps me coming back.

What inspires me

I’m not showing up to get the “perfect shot.”
I’m showing up to tell your story: truthfully, creatively, and with my whole heart.

When we work together, you can expect more than just someone holding a camera. I’m with you through the whole process. From dreaming up what your day could feel like, to location scouting, to getting permits, to creating a plan that puts peace over pressure, I’m in it with you.

On the day of, I’m your steady presence. I’ll help guide when you need it, step back when you don’t, and make sure you feel free to just be yourselves. You don’t have to perform or pose. You don’t have to worry about what comes next. We’ll have space to breathe. To laugh. To hike. To take it all in.

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about photos, it’s about how your wedding feels.
And I want it to feel like coming home.


What it's like to work with me

Laid-back

easy-going

Genuine

unscripted

When I'm not photographing love stories, you can find me doing some of these things:

  • Traveling the world with my wife
  • Making all the espresso drinks in my home
  • Prioritizing experiences over things
  • Hiking with my wife and friends
  • Eating delicious ramen and tacos
  • Having a good pint of beer
  • Watching my beloved Packers (go Pack go)
  • Reading a good fantasy novel
  • Going on runs and bike rides
  • Being head chef in our home

That’s just a glimpse into what fills my cup.
But this? This is about you.
Your story. Your love. Your way of moving through the world.
I’m here to help you build a day that feels like home. And if you’re nodding along, and saying, “This is what we’ve been looking for,” then yeah, I’d be honored to help tell your story next.

It's the little things that make us who we are

What's so great about Bryan? No awkward poses, no cheesy stuff – just him blending into the background and capturing us being us. With Bryan, it was like hanging with an old friend who happened to be an amazing photographer. Zero stress, all good vibes. He turns your day into a visual masterpiece!"

We felt so comfortable in the front of the camera, and the pictures turned out amazing! Along with the amazing pictures, Bryan also planned a timeline for our wedding day and gave us ideas of good photo locations to choose from taking a lot of the stress off of us.
