Documentary-style wedding photography is a storytelling approach that seeks the natural, candid moments and encourages a mindful presence to your day. This lends to timeless photographs rooted in authenticity, while giving you more time to enjoy each other, your people, and the environment. My hope is that you feel like you have a celebration, not a photoshoot.

Kind Words

“Our first reaction after seeing the photos was “this is art. Blake is an artist.””

“He was a joy to have at my wedding, and he captured me feeling the most beautiful I have ever felt.”

“After a lifetime of seeing people's overly staged wedding pictures, Blake gave us an album filled exclusively with pictures that bring the day alive for us again.”

“He struck the perfect balance between being funny and personable, but mostly he was quietly letting the day roll on as though he wasn't there.”

“Multiple people asked if he was an old friend.”
