Sulpher Ridge hike - Alberta

the wind gust were almost strong enough to knock you down!

hey, I'm brian

I am a wedding/portrait photographer based in St. Louis

I will travel anywhere to shoot

 

I’ve been a photographer for over 23 years, It has been an absolute honor to be trusted to document important moments in the lives of so many amazing humans. I will always treasure that.

 

I like my shoots to be relaxed & fun. Sort of like little adventures. Happy people = happy pictures. I want you to be yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

A few things about me

People say I look like Iron Man — I’ve fully embraced it

 

Former history teacher and lifelong history nerd, My books are everywhere in the house

 

I love long road trips — like really long, I’ve driven to Alaska… twice!

 

My longest road trip was 11,299 miles

 

I’ve driven all over the US & western Canada

 

Hiking is just my favorite thing in the world

 

I’ve slept outside in Death Valley, been pretty close to Area 51, encountered massive bears, been lost in the mountains in winter, seen the midnight sun, & that’s all for starters

 

 

 

I am anti - cliche

Story & emotion is where it's at

Authenticity over poses

Let's shoot some real moments

Snapshots are actually pretty cool

all love stories are welcome here

I’m a photographer who celebrates every kind of person. Whether you’re gay, straight, introverted, extroverted, disabled, or just beautifully unique—I’m here to capture you. every story is worth telling

create

explore

drink instant coffee

do more

practice strong kung fu

don't panic

& most importantly

never leave home without your towel
