The consent. The nuptial blessing. The elevation of the Host. Photographed with reverence, and never missed.
There is no cue from the crowd for the consecration. No one turns to the camera for the exchange of consent. If your photographer doesn’t know the Mass, these moments pass — and they never come back.
I am a practicing Catholic. I do not stage the consecration. I do not interrupt the priest. I do not pose the moments that should be allowed to simply happen.
What I bring is harder to see and impossible to fake: the experience to know where I must be, and the discipline to be there unseen — certain of the frame whatever the light does or however the day turns.
The photographs your grandchildren will inherit. Quiet. Honest. Made to endure.
“We knew we wanted a Catholic photographer to photograph our wedding Mass, and we couldn’t be happier. Many people commented that they didn’t even notice he was there — which was exactly what we wanted, especially during the Mass. The sneak peeks had us crying over how beautiful they were.”Alexandra M.
“Booking with William was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.”Vincent R.
“He caught all the right moments — the ceremony, the romantic shots, the little moments you don’t have time to notice as bride and groom.”Zoë L.

Yes. I photograph the Traditional Latin Mass, the Novus Ordo, Eastern Catholic liturgies including Byzantine and Syro-Malabar, Neocatechumenal Way weddings, and convalidations. Before your day, we sit down together so I learn the particular customs your family holds sacred.
Always. I don’t use flash during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, I dress appropriately, and I move quietly. I’m glad to speak with your priest or parish coordinator in advance.
That’s the point of hiring me. You get me, not a stranger. In the rare case I can’t be there personally, I tell you up front, before you book — never after.
Travel is included throughout the contiguous United States. I photograph Catholic weddings across the country and help couples plan from a distance.
Yes. Collections with a second photographer are available — we’ll talk through what your day needs when we connect.
Your date may still be open. Let’s find out.
