Hi, I’m Kurt. For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings, corporate galas, fundraisers, golf outings, conventions, mitzvahs, private parties, and community celebrations all across Toledo, Northwest Ohio, Southeast Michigan, and across the country.
I was once asked what is the single most important moment to capture at an event and why. My answer: In events, no single moment exists in isolation. Every event is a collection of moments, each one holding meaning for someone. My role isn’t to decide which is most important; it’s to capture them all. From the tiniest detail to the biggest celebration, every frame becomes part of the story that makes the event unforgettable.
As your event photographer, you can be certain that I will capture all those fleeting moments, and the moments that you didn't know happened!
When you hire me, you’re not just booking a photographer to “cover” your event. You’re choosing someone who:
• Captures the energy - the buzz in the room, the candid smiles, the excitement that photos should let you feel.
• Tells the whole story - from décor and atmosphere to the keynote speaker to the final dance and all the moments in between.
• Puts people at ease - I capture candid moments that are naturally happening without being obtrusive.
• Creates lasting impact - images designed not just for historical archiving, but also for marketing, social media, and brand storytelling.

• Corporate Events and Conventions: Documenting everything from breakout sessions to black-tie galas.
• Expos and Trade shows: From Exhibitor Booths to Potential Client interactions, I capture everything.
• Nonprofit Fundraisers & Community Events: I believe in giving back and I love helping organizations amplify their impact.
• Festivals & Large-Scale Experiences: I've been photographing community events like Party in the Park since the Late 80s. Most recently I've worked with iHeart Media and The Toledo Mud Hens for Opening Day, among others.
• Schools and University Events: From Proms to Graduations to Performances and Sporting Events, I can do it all.
• Weddings and Celebrations: From Ribbon Cuttings to Weddings to Anniversaries, I've captured hundreds.
No matter the occasion, my goal is the same: to tell the story of your event in a way that feels authentic, beautiful, and unforgettable.
