Where photography is about
more than photos

Wedding photography isn’t just about creating flattering photos.

It’s about creating images that make you feel​​​​​​​ something. Documenting you and your family’s story. And helping you eliminate fear, create a genuine connection, and become fulfilled in who you are – and who you’re becoming as a married couple.

Photography is my passion

Eliminating fear is my purpose

This is me. The almost always smiling, black t-shirt wearing, bearded guy who loves all things deep conversation, pizza, and coffee. A guy who dreams of becoming an Icelandic citizen yet loves DC. One who embraces the unconventional and uncomfortable.

My passion for DC Wedding Photography started while interning for a humanitarian organization – helping people who were beaten down and in need of knowing that they mattered.

When I’m not busy photographing weddings, I’m hanging with my wife Sara, son Alex, and my dog Cash. You’re most likely to find me at a coffeeshop turning an hour lunch into a 3 hour discussion about our favorite TV shows or one’s plan for their life.

I toured in a metal band, so I’m not nervous to be on the dance floor with your favorite people.

I have no problems arranging and gathering family for photos on wedding day, no matter how rowdy or scatterbrained they may be on wedding day!

Here are some of the ways i help you to look and feel amazing

Before i ever push a button.

A Team Player

You’ll find that we work hard to earn your trust, be your advocate, and build a genuine connection with you two by always putting your relationship first. We promise to be by your side (even when others aren’t). And to respectfully give you a neutral, honest, and unbiased answer when you ask our opinion on anything – photography-related or not.

Before your wedding day, we’ll keep things fun and chill. At your wedding, we’re all about keeping things business-like and professional. But still friendly and fun.

And while we may look like we have tough exteriors, we’re total softies with the stuff that matters – which includes you.

“After interviewing a few different photographers, we immediately clicked with Adam. His easygoing, fun attitude were apparent right off the bat, and these qualities made us feel WAY more relaxed and natural while being photographed.”

Expert Level Guidance

We’ll guide you through the photography process every step of the way. From our very first phone call, all the way through to guiding you on how to stand or what to do with your hands.

You’ll always know what to expect next because you’ll hear from us often. And you’ll hear from us quickly, so you never feel ghosted (unlike all of your previous Tinder dates.)

We step up wherever and whenever needed, even when it has absolutely nothing to do with photography – like starting the hora or conga line during the reception and drying off bridesmaid bouquets before photos. Because if there is any way we can help create a less stressful and more enjoyable experience for you, we’re going to do it.

“Adam was clear in what he needed from us and when, provided us an awesome guide, knew a ton of our vendors and answered any questions we had. He was great the day of, keeping things moving along quickly and making everyone laugh.”

Brianne, Bride

Love-Filled Moment Hunters

The raw emotions and vulnerable energy a wedding day brings are really amazing to witness. And for 10+ years as wedding photographers, it’s been even more amazing to be a part of. So when it comes to your wedding day, you best believe those natural, candid moments – where you aren’t afraid to let your real love show – is what we primarily focus on.

That doesn’t mean we forget the other essential things like your ceremony and personal details, though. Or the obligatory, posed family portraits your mom wants – and believe it or not, you’ll be thankful to have down the road as well. We’ve got all of that covered.

Our goal is for you not to see us but to always be there. So, other than the 25-minutes we’ll spend crushing your family portraits, we’ll blend into the background. And when you do notice us, it’s because we’re guiding you so that you can genuinely look and feel natural and comfortable.

“… I ‘didn’t notice’ him. We def had some fun moments and interactions, but he was never like in the way, if you will. He captured real moments and was sleuth not to seem intrusive in moments that were particularly personal.”

Hana, Bride
