About
We don't stage weddings.
We document them.
The best moments are rarely planned. They happen quietly, in between the timelines and the expectations, and that's the space we are drawn to most.
Most of the work on this site was photographed on the West Coast.
That's because I left East Texas the year I turned twenty-one and spent the next decade building a life with a camera in my hands — across California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Mexico, and everywhere in between.
Photography found me out there.
It taught me how to pay attention.
How to move quietly through a moment.
How to recognize the difference between a photograph that looks beautiful and one that actually feels like something.
Recently, life brought me home.
I live in Georgetown now, just north of Austin, and Limestone & Light is rooted here in Central Texas — documenting weddings across Austin, the Hill Country, and the back roads in between. The Texas galleries are still being written, and honestly, I'd love for your story to become part of them.
You should probably know about Maria, too.
We met at an LAX bar. I missed a flight while laughing with her. We share the same sense of humor and it was so natural I would have stayed there forever. But she is smarter than me and she got on her plane.
Nevertheless, here we are.
Now we run Limestone & Light together. She keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes, shoots alongside me when she's here, and makes this business feel a lot more human than it would without her. Part of the year she's home with family in Mexico, so it's not every wedding — but the ones we photograph together are some of my favorites.
The posed portraits matter. Your family will want them, and years from now you'll be glad you have them.
But they've never been the reason we do this.
We care more about the real moments — the way your dad looks at you before the ceremony, the chaos before sunset, the feeling of finally being alone together after everyone else has gone home.
The day as it actually felt.
Unhurried. Honest. And remembered the way it deserves to be.
