Ethan was made our special day very memorable! He had such great photo ideas and really caught all of the special moments. We had a small elopement ceremony, but he made it feel like we were in the spotlight. The photos turned out so beautifully! I’d recommend him to everyone!

We had a pretty complex and very meaningful photo session planned, a large family shoot combined with a surprise proposal, and Ethan absolutely delivered.
From the beginning, he was responsive, flexible, and collaborative in helping us think through locations and timing, especially with lighting considerations. On the day of the shoot, he executed everything seamlessly. He guided our large group, including kids, through family photos efficiently, and then transitioned perfectly into the surprise proposal without raising any suspicion.
The proposal moment itself was captured beautifully, completely natural and candid, exactly what we were hoping for. He did not just take pictures, he helped orchestrate the flow of the moment so it felt smooth and special.
The final photos were excellent, high quality, well edited, and delivered quickly as promised. We ended up with a great mix of posed family shots and genuine, emotional moments from the engagement.
If you are looking for someone who is professional, easy to work with, and capable of handling both structured and once in a lifetime moments, I highly recommend Ethan.
