Brian

Professional Photographic Artist

Brian has been a photographer for the past 12 years and joined Lace in the fall of 2004. After photographing weddings on his own, he decided to join Lace as a professional wedding photographer while starting his own business specializing in families and children.

Brian has a degree in Art Studies and a Bachelor's in Marketing. He also studied architecture for several years. His style of photography is one of "sophisticated simplicity". His quick and anticipatory photojournalistic ability allows him to successfully capture the gracefulness and beauty in everyday situations in unique and intriguing ways. He has a knack for seeing things that others may not, or simply seeing them differently than the norm. This is prevalent in his photos and it makes viewers of his work stop and take notice.

Blessed to be able to creatively capture images in Switzerland, London, Vancouver, B.C., Louisville, Las Vegas, Miami and Chicago, Brian's portfolio continues to expand with images of weddings, engagements, portraiture and his own personal projects.

As an account executive with an advertising/promotion agency in St. Louis, Brian is surrounded by the creative process on a daily basis. This wealth of creativity continues to inspire and fuel his desire to better his craft and further expand his love of photography and art in general. He has won several awards for his photographic work and continues to compete in contests on a semi-regular basis.

Brian resides in St. Louis County with his wife and daughter and one on the way. He and his family volunteer with local charities and different causes; and they help to support those efforts annually. He enjoys sharing his vision with others and hopes that they find as much pleasure and inspiration from it as he does.

This is clearly evident in his easy going attitude, up-beat personality and, of course, his photography. His love and appreciation for the simple things in life, as well as his faith in God, the goodness in people, and in life, help keep him grounded...and growing.
