I’m driven to make photographs that hold meaning—capturing the genuine moments and connections at the heart of your story.


It’s a privilege to witness the many ways people come together—whether for a wedding, a milestone, or a shared achievement.

My aim is to capture the true character of each story with sincerity, artistry, and attention to detail, providing every client with a thoughtful and memorable experience.

The images I create are candid moments—each one a genuine piece of your unfolding narrative. Together, they tell the story of your day in a way that feels honest and enduring.

I focus on the subtle, intimate exchanges as well as the defining moments, composing a portrait that reflects who you are and the connections that matter most.

    -Peter

  • Sean was so easy to work with - quick to respond, arrived punctually (even earlier than agreed timing to ensure he was all prepped). Delivered the photos (great photos btw) in the promised timeline. It was just a breeze. It was just our pleasure that we had found such a photographer for our event.
