Documenting what it feels like
Your wedding day deserves to be lived, not performed.
Your wedding day isn’t a performance. It isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a lived, emotional, fleeting story, and the way it’s documented should honor that. I work quietly and intentionally, focusing on presence over perfection so your day can unfold naturally while it’s remembered honestly.
Most couples want their day to feel REAL.
Most couples want their day to feel real.
That’s the space we’re careful to protect.
Most people don’t worry about photography until they imagine the day itself.
How it might feel to be watched.
How easily a moment can shift once a camera enters it.
You want the memories, but not at the cost of the experience.
You want images that feel honest, but you don’t want to spend the day adjusting, posing, or wondering what’s being captured.
You want photos that feel honest, not overly directed
Images land differently when they come from real connection instead of instruction.
You want to stay connected to your people, not pulled away from them
The best moments tend to happen when nothing is being arranged.
You want to look back and recognize yourselves
Not a version of the day that felt louder, stiffer, or more produced than it really was.
This is what it looks like when presence comes first.
“I’ve watched what happens when a day gets over-directed.
I’ve also seen what happens when it’s left alone.”
Most couples don’t worry about photos until they realize how much of the day can quietly turn into a production. Timelines tighten. Moments get interrupted. Suddenly you’re performing your own wedding instead of living it.
My job is to create enough structure that nothing falls apart, and enough space that nothing feels staged. So you can stay where you actually are with the people you chose on a day that only happens once.
THIS IS WHY I BUILT MY COVERAGE THIS WAY
THIS IS WHY I BUILT MY COVERAGE THIS WAY
Most wedding packages are built around hours and deliverables.
Mine are built around presence. That means enough time for the day to breathe. Enough structure to keep things calm. And enough flexibility to let real moments happen without forcing them. The goal isn’t to capture more. It’s to interrupt less, so what matters has room to exist.
From the people who lived it
“It never felt like we were being photographed.
We just got to be together, and somehow every moment was there when we looked back.”
How it Works
01
We start by listening
Before cameras, timelines, or expectations.
We talk through what matters to you, how your day is meant to feel, and what you want to remember when it’s over.
No pressure. No templates. Just clarity and alignment before anything else.
02
Your day unfolds naturally
We stay present while the moments happen.
Nothing is staged or rushed. We move quietly, document honestly, and let the day be what it already is.
You stay in the moment. We take care of remembering it.
03
The story becomes something you can return to
Images that age with meaning.
What you receive isn’t just coverage. It’s a body of work that reflects who you were, how it felt, and why it mattered.
Something familiar now. Something deeper later.

the INVESTMENT
Intimate Coverage
For elopements and smaller celebrations that value closeness over scale.
Starting at $3,000
One photographer focused on presence, pacing, and the in-between moments that matter most.
This collection is intentionally simple, allowing you to stay grounded in the day while everything meaningful is documented with care.
Storytelling Coverage
Your wedding day, told with depth, intention, and room to breathe.
Starting at $4,000
With two photographers, the story expands. While one stays close, the other watches the edges, the reactions, the moments you didn’t see but will feel later. This is the most balanced way to experience full-day coverage without it ever feeling intrusive.
Photo and Cinema
The full story, held in both stillness and motion.
Starting at $8,000
Photography and film working together allows your day to be remembered not just as it looked, but as it moved and sounded and felt. Nothing is staged. Nothing is rushed. Each medium supports the other without competing for attention.
“We felt completely taken care of.”
On the wedding day, nothing felt rushed or forced. He was calm, present, and intentional, which allowed us to actually enjoy the experience. The photos don’t just document the day, they tell the story of who we are.
Every image feels honest. Every moment feels real. Worth the investment in every way.
“It felt natural, not performative.”
From our first conversation, we knew Ben understood what we cared about. He took the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and understand us before ever picking up a camera.
On the day itself, he was calm, grounded, and unobtrusive. Even in the heat, everything felt steady and intentional. We never felt like we were “on display” or being directed into something that wasn’t us.
Looking back, the images feel deeply personal. They reflect the day as it truly felt, not a staged version of it. We couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with something so meaningful.
“He captured the moments we didn’t even realize were happening.”
From our first interaction, we felt confident putting our day in Ben’s hands. He brought such a genuine presence and care to every part of the process.
Throughout the day, he captured countless moments that we didn’t even know were happening, yet somehow feel central to our memories now. Friends and family still comment on how natural and emotional the images feel.
The photos don’t just remind us what the day looked like. They remind us how it felt. We would choose Boxcar again without hesitation.

Got QUESTIONS
What is your pricing structure?
My collections are built around how your day is covered. I offer coverage with one photographer, a two-photographer team, or full photo and film coverage.
Each option is designed intentionally around the scale and flow of your celebration so nothing feels rushed, staged, or incomplete.
How many meetings will we have before the wedding?
We always begin with a personal consultation to make sure we are aligned, creatively and emotionally. From there, most couples have one to two additional planning conversations as the day takes shape.
Some couples want more touchpoints, others want less. I adapt to what feels supportive rather than overwhelming. The goal is clarity and calm, not meetings for the sake of meetings. I am here for you, every step of the way.
How many images will we receive?
You will receive a full gallery that reflects the complete story of your day, not a capped number.
Every image is carefully selected and edited with intention, prioritizing moments, emotion, and narrative over volume.
Rather than delivering thousands of near-duplicates, I focus on giving you a collection that feels cohesive, honest, and timeless.
Do we receive print rights?
Yes. All collections include full printing rights.
You are free to print your images, share them, and preserve them however feels meaningful to you.
That said, I strongly believe images deserve to live beyond screens, which is why albums and professional prints are such an important part of the experience.
How does the album design process work?
Album design is collaborative but never burdensome.
I begin by curating a narrative-driven draft that reflects the flow and emotional arc of your day. From there, you can request revisions until it feels exactly right.
The goal is not just a beautiful book, but something that feels like your story, told with care, restraint, and longevity in mind.
What makes the investment worth it?
Couples often tell me the value wasn’t just in the images, but in how present they were able to be.
The planning, the guidance, the calm presence on the day, and the intention behind every decision allows you to stay connected to the moment instead of managing it.
What you’re investing in is not coverage alone, but an experience that lets you live your day fully and remember it honestly.
