BEYOND THE LENSWHEN I’M NOT BEHIND CAMERA
Thanks so much for checking out Anchor & Pine! If you hire me, you’re hiring a 26-year-old “old soul” who goes to church every Sunday, reads books on American history, drinks Fireball for enjoyment, and probably will Irish Goodbye you at the end of the night—in the nicest way possible.
I bow my head and pray if the minister says so, even if it means I stop recording. I pause and watch the father-daughter dance (after getting sufficient footage, don’t worry) because I value honoring that relationship in the moment.
If you book me, you’re booking somebody who believes God Himself is presiding over your day, even if you’re not a believer. There’s just something in how that alters my approach to your day that makes me different.
If you’re on board with all that, even the Irish Goodbye, I think we would make a great team.
Christ-follower, and an imperfect one.
Spend 99% of my time at home with my wife, who I started dating in high school, and our two girls.
American history nerd.
Former hockey goalie turned golf and rec league sports hero.
I look like a draft beer guy, but I’m a shameless Long Island Iced Tea and Strawberry Daiquiri guy.
A STORYTELLER for THOSE WITH AN EYE TO THEIR FAMILY’S legacy.
Over the years, I’ve realized something about weddings—
the moments people remember most are rarely the ones that were planned.
It’s the way your dad looks at you before the ceremony.
The deep breath right before you walk down the aisle.
The conversations happening just outside the spotlight.
That’s what I’m paying attention to.
I keep things simple, calm, and unobtrusive—so you can actually experience your day without feeling like you’re on camera.
Because what I’m creating isn’t just for you right now.
It’s for years from now.
For the people who weren’t there.
For the family you’re just beginning.
MY ARTISTIC PROMISEIT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE BRIDAL PORTRAITS.
It’s about more than just the bridal portraits. It’s the details you spent months choosing—the lobster rolls, the table settings, the atmosphere, the little touches that made the day feel like you. The things your guests might enjoy in the moment, but that you carefully planned to create something meaningful. Those details deserve to be remembered too—not just how they looked, but how they came together to shape the entire experience.
LETS START YOUR CHAPTER
make magic happen.
