DOCUMENTING THE effortless, EVERYDAY MAGIC.
It’s pancakes on the kitchen floor at midnight. It’s a two-person dance party on the roof of the parking garage. It’s snuggling in for a sunset at the spot where you had your first date. The way your hands fit together just right. The way they look at you when you laugh. Promising forever with the mountains as your witnesses.
I’m here to capture the small, fleeting, ordinary, extraordinary moments that make up a life and a love story - not just how they looked, but how they felt. When you look back at your photos, you’ll feel the honesty and the intimacy that takes you back to the moment and reminds you of the life you’re building together, one tiny moment at a time.
Your full, authentic self is always welcome here.

In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “It’s not about what you look at. It’s what you see.” I believe in photographing those little things you might not even notice that capture your flow as a couple. The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful and fascinating to me than the pure joy, excitement, and comfort of two people wildly in love.
There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or a perfect location to capture the perfect memory. It’s about a snapshot in time - those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.

"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
"I wanted emotion captured and you did that + noticing all the aesthetic details of our day. You made me feel relaxed and made us laugh too. Such a blessing knowing your shared faith too. I hope you enjoyed it too. Thank you so much brother!! We love you!"
"These are moments we are going to cherish for the rest of our lives"
He was incredibly accommodating for our out of state wedding; throughout the day, he acted like a fly on the wall, capturing stunning candid moments without ever being intrusive. When we needed direction, he stepped in with clear guidance and endured we stayed on track. His attention to detail was impeccable, and he was so easygoing and professional!
"DJ far exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed every moment"
We had so much fun shooting with DJ!! He made it to where we felt confident in our posing by giving us prompts and “scenes” as if we were shooting a movie. He really can capture a moment and I cannot stop looking at our photos.
"The photos are phenomenal as expected DJ 🙌🏼🔥"
He has a remarkable ability to capture moments in a way that feels both dreamy and romantic, with an artistic, almost nostalgic quality to the images. On the wedding day, he was not only a fantastic photographer, but also a great presence, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. As expected, the photos turned out amazing. We both got teary eyed looking through our wedding album because it felt like reliving the day all over again. We highly recommend DJ Skipps to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and fun photographer for their special day!
"we couldn’t be happier with our experience!"
