ABOUT ME

kirk-syracuse-photographer-mstr_web-2.jpg

Hey There, I’m Kirk! 

I believe wedding photos and videos should be inherently beautiful. My heart is drawn to soft, romantic imagery bathed in natural light—moving away from harsh contrasty shadows or moody tones in favor of something more timeless. Even after years in the industry, I’m still the photographer who might tear up during your vows; I truly feel honored to document such a pivotal chapter of your lives.

 

My goal is to do more than just take photos; I want to capture the feeling of your day—the nervous excitement in the air and the beautiful joining of two families.

​

My process—from chasing the right light to editing—leans toward a bright and airy aesthetic. I prioritize natural light over flash whenever possible, and use true-to-life colors to ensure your images feel crisp, classic, and authentic. I believe transparency is key: your wedding memories are precious, and I want to ensure our visions align perfectly to tell your story.​

My Style

I appreciate the importance of a "moment", versus a pose. While poses can be great, and I'll of course guide you through some , the spontaneous, organic, genuine, and unforced real moments are the most moving. I love to catch couples and their closest loved ones being themselves. People feel more free to be themselves, when you're not in their face with a camera, go figure! For this reason, I try to be an unobtrusive "fly on the wall" as much as possible. 

​

​My Story

My journey into photography started as a kid in my father’s darkroom, watching the magic of images appear on photo paper under the red glow of the safelight. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong fascination with capturing moments and telling stories through images. I got my first real taste of photography when my grandmother gifted me a Nikon camera, giving me the tools to experiment, learn, and develop my own style. That gift set me on a path of discovery that eventually led to buying my first SLR Film Camera in 2003. From there, I immersed myself in the technical and creative sides of photography—learning composition, lighting, and the art of capturing genuine moments. Today, I bring that same sense of wonder and attention to detail to every wedding I photograph and film. My goal is to create light and airy images and cinematic films that preserve authentic moments and tell each couple’s unique story.
