Barry uses a unique blend of documentary and lifestyle photography with an aim to tell stories with sensitivity and sympathy throughout his work. His photographs express his own desire to observe, understand, and reveal the complexity of people and their stories. Barrys goal is to transform intimately observed details and events into stories about individuals' lives that reflect emotions common to all.


I've had a camera in my hand for over a decade, but it was in 2016 when our daughter was born that I started to develop my own style. I'm a very present husband and father, and documenting our time together means everything to me, connecting the dots in my own story has taught me how to perceive and appreciate the intricate connections that bind others.


Although based in North Florida, I am available for wedding, lifestyle, commercial, and portrait photography wherever I'm needed. Whether you require photography for your family, a distinctive approach for an upcoming brand campaign, or event documentation, I'm ready to take on any project in your pipeline. Feel free to explore my portfolio and journal to get a sense of my photographic style. If you like what you see, don't hesitate to reach out, and let's create something amazing together!

KIND WORDS

"We are both incredibly happy with the work Barry did for our pictures, he made us feel so comfortable and helped us even in poses we may have thought we’re awkward and they came out better than we imagined. Overall his work is very good and natural and we will cherish these pictures for a lifetime. Not to mention he was incredibly fast getting them back to us. He was so nice the entire shoot and helped us enjoy ourselves on our special day. We will definitely be using him again for more shoots!!"

Your Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer

And I'm ALMOST as passionate about your memories as you are... close second.

Though based in north Florida, I am available for wedding, lifestyle, commercial, and portrait photography anywhere I'm needed. Read more at the link below!

I’m a native Floridian raised in a rural area now known as St. Johns. I spent most of my childhood riding on dirt roads, exploring the forests and running barefoot in creeks. My heart is at home in the country, but I’m allured by big cities and their historic mysteries.


I am a family man with a big heart and everything that I do begins and ends with them in my thoughts. I married my best friend and ride-or-die in 2011 and in 2016, we were blessed with our baby girl, Elle.


Music and art are my creative outlets, I really enjoy drawing, painting, and design illustration. I starting learning photography in my early 20's, that's when I began to look at life around me differently while using any camera that I could get my hands on.


My photography style organically developed while I was learning how to be a father, capturing our new life together as a family. I realized that I was documenting precious time. My passion is observing and telling real life stories through stills. I do this because it's important to me, and because I'm addicted to creating art.


I use film and digital cameras to tell stories with a style between documentary and lifestyle. I want to tell the whole story; the silly, the serious, and the candid, just the way we are.
