Hi, I'm Blake —
a New York City based photographer.
I travel the world providing a warm and poetic approach through digital and film mediums.
Welcome
Blake makes photographs of life and love, drawing from years of experience in the wedding and fashion industries working alongside clients. With vision to grow and expand, he crafted a business rooted in sincerity and poetic vision of the world.
Centered on inward love turning outward and vulnerability with expressive purpose, he photographs wedding celebrations, portraits, and fashion & editorial work.
He calls New York City home and spends an absurd amount of time flipping through the spreads in Vogue and Vanity Fair.
Blake appreciates and draws inspiration from film and music and fashion and other humans that he shares space with.
He will always choose the longest table and stay even longer for conversations, inviting others to pull up a chair as well.
Past clients have shared some kind things about their experience with Blake. You can read their words here.
Making art through photo and teaching others, drawing inspiration from fashion.
Born and raised in the south, I built a six-figure business that enabled me to move across the country in pursuit of an artistic, expansive lifestyle.
I spend my mornings centered by writing and sunlight and may be found in galleries and cafes by afternoon. As evening falls, I'm often out exploring the city covered by the moon and sharing space with those I love.
I am grateful to have been named a Top Wedding Photographer in america and new york city.

There has really never been another option. Making art and making others feel was the thing that I always pictured myself doing. You know when they ask what you want to be when you grow up in school? Well, I always answered something along the lines of art, or business. This has always been it for me. My career has evolved and changed over the years as I step further into my purpose. Whatever brought you here today, I hope to talk with you soon.

Blake is one of those people.
If you are looking for a photographer for your special day, just choose him!!! Blake literally gave the day an eternal life by capturing all precious moments so well. All photos I received from him look like a gift from God, and I will treasure them for life. He is very easy-to communicate with, charming and enormously helpful...all of my guests loved him. Booking him for my wedding day was the best decision! Thank you so much, Blake! xx
