For Studios
Adaptable, technically disciplined camera operator built to match a studio's exact tone and visual range — bright lifestyle, high-fashion editorial, deep moody cinematic, all in scope. Execution relies on live histogram monitoring and manual exposure, optimized for highlight preservation. No automatic exposure or in-camera metering dependency.
Kit: dual Fujifilm X-H2 / X-H2S bodies recording to dual cards, fast primes from 16mm through 90mm including macro and adapted character glass, off-camera Godox flash, full filter and diffusion inventory.

For Seconds
I am always looking to expand my network of talented photographers!
I think working as part of a collaborative creative team is one of the best ways to ensure comprehensive coverage and quality service for my clients.

Looking for leads
Weddings are irreplaceable moments that I take seriously. Having a collaborative creative team is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to offer quality service and comprehensive coverage for my clients.
This business model is built around myself, transparency, and in-camera technical skill.
Booking is automated so I cannot be double booked, and I am not in the business of hiring out associates.
My financial structure is designed to incentivize experienced lead photographers to come work with me. This ensures the highest quality of work — I believe talent and skill should be appropriately compensated — and assets are delivered as-is and cannot be relied on to be "fixed" in post.
I have never called off a wedding for any reason. However, in case of emergency, I need to ensure a second can competently step up to lead in my stead (with compensation, of course).
I also know that portfolio usage is key in our industry, and since I allow clients to opt in to various levels of privacy, I have structured compensation bonuses for when usage is limited.

For Editors
Interested in Being Featured as an Editing Partner?
Memento Amoris Photography operates differently than most wedding photography studios. My clients receive their photographs directly and are free to select an editor whose style, workflow, pricing, and turnaround best fit their needs.
To help couples make informed decisions, I maintain a directory of independent editors and editing companies who have demonstrated their work using the same sample images. This allows clients to compare editing styles side-by-side and choose the professional who best aligns with their vision.
If you offer professional photo editing services and would like to be considered as an editing partner for Memento Amoris Photography clients, you are invited to submit a sample edit set for review.
There are no fees, commissions, or kickbacks for listings or referrals. I am instead facilitating the connection between my clients and experienced editors.
The purpose of this directory is to help clients make informed decisions by comparing editing styles, workflows, pricing, turnaround times, and service options from independent editors who have worked with the same source images in a side-by-side comparison widget.
Because this directory is designed to facilitate the connection between my clients and experienced editors, transparency and trust are of the utmost importance. Participating editors are expected to honor the services, pricing, policies, and turnaround times represented in their listing and to notify me of any changes so their listing stays up to date — or risk removal.
To participate, you will need to download the 10 sample RAW files below. Before accessing the files, you will be asked to agree to the Editor Sample License Agreement, which outlines copyright, licensing, and permissions.
Included in the .zip is a README.txt with a copy of the agreement for reference, along with instructions on export parameters, how to return the files, and what information to include.
You are granted limited permission to edit the provided images solely for the purpose of creating sample work for directory consideration. Submitted edits may be displayed on this site with credit alongside your business listing. Submission does not guarantee placement in the directory.
All sample images remain the copyrighted property of Memento Amoris Photography and are provided under the terms of the accompanying Editor Sample License Agreement. Participation constitutes acceptance of those terms.
Thank you for your interest in partnering with Memento Amoris Photography. I look forward to seeing your work and introducing clients to talented editors who bring their own unique perspective to the images they receive.
