Scott has an eye for detail and is truly talented, I feel like it is rare today to find professionals with true heart and passion behind every inch of his work. My husband and I eloped out of state and Scott was so easy to speak with, responded quickly to any questions we had, and even helped us pick out our location. Scott took on small and large requests to make our day special and ensure our loved ones back home felt they were there with us.
We had a wonderful experience working with Scott and absolutely love all of the photos that we will cherish forever.

Scott is amazing!! Not only is he incredibly talented, but he’s also super kind. He made us feel so comfortable the entire time. It took me a long time and research to find our photographer and I am so glad we ended up going with him! His work is so beautiful and he’s very communicative. He’ll help keep you at ease when it comes to stressful planning and scheduling. He’s also very flexible and was able to meet with us super last minute for our engagement photos. My husband and I aren’t very good in front of the camera but some how Scott was able to capture the most beautiful pictures! He made the session super enjoyable and captured amazing candids that I truly treasure. My jaw literally dropped when I saw my gallery!!

I cannot shout enough how wonderful Scott is!!  Scott did out engagement session, spent the entire day of the wedding capturing all the moments I had hoped for.  He personality is so inviting and friendly.  Scott really has a natural talent for capturing special moments in a picture.  Turnaround time is super fast!  One special touch Scott added was the night of our wedding before my husband and I left, Scott handed me 10 polaroids of highlight pics he had taken throughout the day.  The best little special touch ever!  I was able to take these on our honeymoon and share them with everyone we met!   Thank you again Scott for making our day so very special!
