the beginnings
Inspired by old 1980s National Geographic, I took my parents camera and would take photos of everything, and eventually was grounded from using the camera, since film was expensive.
Fast forward in college, with a stroke of luck, I became roommates with the editor of the Ohio State University paper, The Lantern, and became a photojournalist, covering events around the University, especially college basketball.
the start of Wandering Woo
After burning out in corporate America, I decided to take a sabbatical and chose to travel around the world with just a backpack, carry on, and a couple of thousand of dollars. For almost a year I spent everyday taking photographs in 26 different countries, first photographing landscapes, but eventually started photographing people. What was suppose to be a travel blog, quickly became a website of showcasing my photography, and creating compelling images was a goal so I could inspire others, to do so.
Wandering Woo & Weddings
After traveling the world I quickly assimilated back into the corporate world, but it was obvious where my heart was. After photographing my first couple of weddings on the weekends, I quickly fell in love with being surrounded by moments and memories, and especially emotions.
In an instant Wandering Woo became synonymous with destination weddings, photographing couples in 12 different countries.
There is a certain beauty that weddings have, that nowhere else can be experienced. In a beautiful way, the interconnection of peoples memories and moments, create an intense energy of love and happiness.
I understood that what I wanted to do with my time in this life, is to use my camera to tell stories, in the most captivating way.
Taken over 2 million photos
Photographed over 200 couples and weddings
27 states of the United States
12 different countries
Don’t worry, I’ll bring the vibes and the jacket to your party, only if you request it!
On my free time you can find me traveling to festivals or exploring all the boroughs of New York City, not only to find awesome photographable locations, but also to find amazing eats.
Besides photographing weddings, engagements, and elopements, you can find me using my skills to help the community, either locally or abroad.
