The Start of Something

Working a packed bar on Friday night in New York City 2014,

I looked down the rail to see any empty glasses.

A half-beer here, a full martini there—when suddenly my eyes locked onto something—a woman sitting by herself, nose buried into an academic book on racial identity. I moved closer to read the full title, but just as I passed by, Heather lifted her eyes and we looked at each other for the very first time.

It’s crazy to think about how if Heather didn’t look up, or if I was just a little busier—then us, Capa, Oliver, and Apollo Fields might have never happened.

Yet here we are. And so are you.

The father is wearing a white polo shirt and pink pants, the mother is wearing a floral dress, and the children are dressed in brown tops and beige pants.

A well-dressed couple posing in front of metallic gold and silver streamers at a party. The man wears a dark green suit, white shirt with a pattern, and a colorful bowtie. The woman wears a black dress with a high slit, holding a glass, and smiling.
A smiling man wearing sunglasses and a black and white shirt is sitting on a wooden deck, holding a young boy with light brown hair who is laughing and gripping a stick with an orange handle. The boy is seated on the man's knee and has a red skateboard with yellow wheels beside him. The scene is outdoors during sunset with greenery and a tower in the background.

Our Story

We met in 2014 in New York City, bartending on the Upper West Side at restaurants directly across the street from one another. At the time, Heather had already been photographing for years and was just beginning to step into events and weddings. We were both working long nights, living fast, and orbiting the same blocks—drawn to people, energy, and the rhythm of a room.

In 2016, we moved to Colorado together and settled in Arvada. That’s where everything clicked. We began shooting weddings side by side, founded Apollo Fields together, and spent the next two years documenting celebrations across the mountains—windy ridgelines, open skies, and couples willing to trade convention for experience. It was also when our work started to travel, opening the door to destination weddings and a broader way of thinking about what a wedding could feel like.

In 2018, we moved back east to get married and start a family. By then, Apollo Fields was fully ours—our full-time work and creative home. We lived on Long Island in Northport, photographing 40–50 weddings a year while building a life alongside the business. We welcomed our son Capa in 2020 and our son Oliver in 2022, learning in real time how family reshapes priorities, pace, and perspective.

By 2024, we felt a pull toward something we had always envisioned but never quite had the space for. We moved to a farm in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and Apollo Fields finally became a place. What had once been an idea—rooted in hospitality, gathering, and intention—now had a physical home.

Today, we photograph fewer weddings, but give each one far more care. Our work is slower, more personal, and deeply high-touch. The farm allows us to bring together everything that has always mattered to us: food shared around a table, time spent outdoors, the grounding presence of horses, the rhythm of family life, and the belief that the most meaningful celebrations are the ones that feel lived in and thoughtfully held.

Apollo Fields is the result of all of it—years of movement, shared work, growing a family, and learning when to do less so that what remains can matter more.
