Fabled Moments Photography
Fabled Moments Photography was founded in July 2024 around one simple idea:
Capture the moments people will never experience exactly the same way twice.
Since then, my camera has taken me from the stage to wedding days, portrait sessions, families, and automotive photography.
I've photographed live performances at venues including The King of Clubs, The Rambling House, The SpaceBar, LA-Z Acres, and The Barn, while continuing to grow my work beyond live music.
No matter what I'm photographing, I'm looking for more than just a technically good image.
I'm looking for the moment.
The expression between poses. The emotion of a wedding day. The connection between a family. The energy of an artist commanding a stage. The details and personality that make someone's vehicle their own.
Those are the photographs that tell a story.
Finding My Passion
After photographing weddings, my journey eventually led me somewhere completely different: live music.
I've always had a love for rock and metal, so when I met Namon, lead singer of Falling Under, photography and music suddenly came together.
The first time I experienced concert photography, something clicked.
The lights. The movement. The crowd. The emotion. The unpredictability.
Everything happens in seconds, and there are no second takes. Capturing those split-second moments taught me to anticipate emotion, work with constantly changing environments, and tell an entire story through a single frame.
Concert photography became a major part of my identity as a photographer — but it also pushed me to discover just how many different stories I wanted to tell.
From Service to the Stage
My journey into photography didn't begin with plans to build a business. It started with a camera, a little curiosity, and a completely different chapter of my life.
From 2013 to 2025, I proudly served 12 years in the Army Reserve. During that time, I had purchased a camera primarily for streaming, but photography wasn't something I had seriously considered pursuing.
That changed when I decided to bring my camera with me to an Army annual training.
When I returned home, I wanted to learn everything I could about photography. What started as curiosity quickly became a creative passion and eventually something I wanted to pursue much further.
My first opportunity came when I photographed my sister's wedding. That experience taught me something that would ultimately become the foundation of Fabled Moments Photography:
Some moments happen only once — and a photograph gives us a way to hold onto them.
Stories. People. Music. Motion.
Today, Fabled Moments Photography is built around four areas of photography that allow me to capture completely different kinds of moments.
Concerts give me the opportunity to freeze the energy, atmosphere, and emotion of a performance that will never happen exactly the same way again.
Weddings allow me to preserve one of the biggest days in someone's life — from the moments everyone sees to the small ones that might otherwise be forgotten.
Portraits are about capturing people as themselves, whether that's an individual, couple, family, senior, musician, or anyone with a story worth telling.
Automotive photography brings another kind of passion in front of my camera, capturing the character, craftsmanship, details, and personality behind the vehicles people have built, restored, customized, or simply love.
Different subjects. Different environments. Different stories.
But the purpose behind every photograph remains the same:
Stories. People. Music. Motion.
The Story Is Just Beginning
Photography started with a camera I originally bought for something completely different.
I never expected it to lead me here.
Now, my goal is to continue growing Fabled Moments Photography, travel to new places, work with new people and artists, photograph larger concerts and tours, capture unforgettable wedding days, create meaningful portraits, and push my automotive work further.
Based in Zanesville, Ohio, I'm available for photography throughout Ohio and willing to travel out of state when the opportunity calls.
Whether I'm standing in front of a stage, beside a couple on their wedding day, behind the camera during a portrait session, or photographing a car someone has spent years building, I'm chasing the same thing:
A moment worth remembering.
That's what Fabled Moments Photography is about.
And I'm just getting started.
