Where the work is

I photograph twelve weddings a year, and I travel for roughly half of them. These are the places the archive actually comes from — a courtyard in Marfa, a mansion on Turtle Creek, a ruined convent in Antigua.

Where I'm traveling

Round Top

The hub is live and the first Round Top commission isn't booked yet — so there's no picture here to show you, and I'd rather say that than borrow one. Antiques week, the barns off 237, the Hill Country light in October: it's the closest kin to Marfa in Texas, and it's the place I most want to photograph next.

Round Top & the Hill Country

Closer to home, I photograph across greater Houston — the Woodlands Waterway, Hotel Saint Augustine, and the vendors I trust here. Everything else lives in the archive.

Twelve commissions a year, wherever the day is. Tell me where you're going.
