Hello, and thank you for taking the time to explore my work. I’m Ethan, and I have been photographing weddings for 10 years. A decade of doing anything is going to shape who you become and I am so glad that I have stuck with this for as long as I have. Growing up with cameras in a small town outside of Columbus, Ohio, I often found myself inspired by the process of photography but always in short supply of inspiration. Upon moving west, my focus in photography also moved around. I dabbled in a number of different fields with a 4 year stint in the music industry. I photographed my first wedding in October of 2014 with my long time friend, Jacob Reynolds. Him and I were both incredibly nervous but we were excited. I knew then that this was the beginning of a long journey. I am now nearly 500 weddings removed from that first one and I have traded the nerves for gratitude. Wedding Photography grants me opportunities to witness people having a myriad of emotionally charged experiences. After 10 years and nearly 500 events you may wonder if I ever get bored of it, and if I was only seeing weddings from the vendor perspective, yeah of course I would. There’s only so much variation in a trend based industry when it comes to wedding design and execution. The PEOPLE make weddings different and regardless of where or how you’re getting married, those who you choose to celebrate with are what make each and every wedding unique. The institution of marriage and the tradition of celebrating at weddings isn’t particularly unique but if you look beyond the where, when, and how of weddings and focus on the who and why, you’ll find that we are all so wonderfully diverse and that’s worth celebrating every weekend.
