So You're Looking For A Photographer?

Hi, I'm Dan!

I'm a Charlottesville, VA based wedding and portrait photographer who believes there is so much beauty in the everyday. My goal is to capture the amazing milestones in your life—whether that’s your wedding day, your engagement, or a senior celebrating their final year.

As a husband and dad to three little ones, I know firsthand that searching for the right photographer can feel like a mix of exciting and overwhelming. Don't worry—I’ve got you!

I’ve been shooting professionally since 2022. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m usually hanging out with my family, volunteering with youth at City Church and Young Life, playing music, or doing software development. If you love music, food, coffee, sports, tech, or family time, we'll definitely have something to talk about!

My Style

With so many talented photographers in Charlottesville, finding the right fit matters. If my work speaks to you, it’s because you value authentic, vibrant photos that capture genuine joy.

I firmly believe personality fit is everything—you should feel like you're hanging out with a friend, not performing for a camera.

I'm all about drawing out as much joy and laughter as possible, with some cool, artistic shots thrown in. A photo session shouldn't feel stiff or stressful. I'll guide you through the whole process so you can relax, be yourselves, and walk away with powerful, honest images that tell your unique story.

Why Choose Me?

If my work speaks to you, it’s because you value authentic, vibrant photos that capture genuine joy. Whether it’s senior portraits, an engagement date night, or your wedding day, I firmly believe personality fit is everything. You should feel like you're hanging out with a friend, not performing for a director.

What It Feels Like to Work Together

Zero Awkward Posing:

You don't need to worry about what to do with your hands or how to smile. I’ll guide you through natural prompts, movement, and interactions so you never feel stiff or staged.

A Relaxed, Fun Experience:

The phrase I hear most during sessions is clients turning to each other and saying, "This is actually so much fun!" That’s the goal—removing the stress so you can just be yourself.

Vibrant, Lifelike Colors:

I edit to preserve the real warmth and energy of your day, delivering timeless images that look as lively as the moment felt.

My goal for every single shoot is simple: to make you laugh, feel completely free, and give you a gallery of photos that truly encapsulate who you are.
