I am a Pittsburgh based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera.


I started my photography journey in high school when I accidentally go put into a yearbook class. That was my first time touching a camera and I was overwhelmed with how "complex" it was. After a few days I was taking pictures of literally everything. From there it has spiraled into an obsession and ultimately ended up with you reading this.  


I didn't go to school to learn how to use the camera. I just spent countless hours late at night honing in on my craft. Just like every beginner I went through trials and error. Up to this point I still did not know what I wanted to take pictures of, birds, animals or people. That all changed when I was asked to do my first wedding.  It was there that I learned how to capture candid, unforced moments and give images life. Candid moments are truly the best moments.


When I'm not behind the camera you can find me enjoying every day life with my incredible family, playing softball or editing photos.

  • I started Photography in 2017 taking photos for my high school year book.
  • I have 9 cameras (3 of which actually work)
  • I’ve been together with my wife for 1 year
  • I think Dad jokes are hilarious
  • The Office, the rookie, prison break & price is right are my favorite shows to edit photos to
  • I’d rather stay in and watch Netflix then go out to a bar - My wife and I usually fall asleep by 10pm
  • I love video games, mashed potatoes, and spending time with my family.
  • When I start something I have to finish it, no matter what.
  • Traveling the world is hands down my favorite thing to do... I have been to 9 different countries so far. (peep the monkey)

Nick Hougg

Nick has been a cornerstone of the team from the beginning when we had zero bookings. He is a two way player, from taking photos to doing video, the best of both worlds. When nick sets the camera down he enjoys spending time with his soon to be wife and playing softball with me, his bestie.

Chris Thomas

Photographer

 

 

 

 

 

Chris is the newest addition to the team. His sense of humor will leave you smiling for him to get the perfect photo of you. When he isnt behind the camera he is spending time with his family or even doing night shoots ( like the super cool night vision goggles that we all dreamed of owning as a kid).
