I am so happy you found me! Since 1997, I’ve been photographing weddings in Toledo, Sylvania, and across Northwest Ohio, Southeastern Michigan, and nationwide, telling love stories through timeless portraits and candid moments. From quiet glances during the vows to wild dance floor celebrations, I’m there for it all—discreetly documenting every emotion with creativity and care.
Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate ceremony, my mission is to help you feel relaxed, confident, and fully present—so your photos reflect the real joy of your day.
"Kurt did an amazing job photographing our wedding! He was so fun, had great energy, and helped us feel so comfortable throughout the day taking our pictures to make for genuine smiles and laughter. Kurt felt like a close friend taking our pictures by the end of this process. We can't thank Kurt enough for the amazing work he did! We would highly recommend Kurt to anyone needing photography services."

I get it. Planning your wedding is overwhelming at best. There is so much to do and you have to make decisions that could completely change your dream wedding instead of creating it. Your wedding photography is one of the biggest decisions you will need to make and you should not take this lightly. After all, it is the ONLY thing that you will have left after all is said and done. The band or DJ won't keep playing and the caterer will not cook your food every day, although I know you wish they would. Your photos and your memories will be how you will replay your big day in your head over and over again for the rest of your lives.
Choosing your photographer is just as intimate and important as choosing your future spouse. Your photographer will be with you for the entire day. Your photographer will work with you before the wedding to make sure your wedding photography timeline includes everything you want it to include. On your wedding day, your photographer will make sure all of your photos are taken and keep everything on track once everyone is dressed and ready to go. At your reception, your wedding photographer will work hand in hand with your DJ to keep the events moving along and will get everything captured. Your photographer will either be your best friend or worst enemy by the end of the night.
