Love doesn’t follow the rules — and neither do I.

The Guy Behind the Camera


About me. Hey, I'm Art

I'm a bourbon-sipping, taco-obsessed, joy-chasing wedding and elopement photographer based in Akron, Ohio — and I'm so damn glad you're here.


For over a decade, I’ve been telling love stories through my lens — the messy, magical, in-between moments that make your story yours. I work with couples who color outside the lines — who laugh big, kiss boldly, and love without apology. If that’s you? We’re already vibing.


But let’s be real for a second. Picking a wedding photographer isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about choosing someone who gets you, who knows how to make you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease in front of the camera — awkward laughs, happy tears, and all.


And that’s my jam. Whether you’re eloping on a mountaintop, getting married in your backyard, or saying “hell yes” in a greenhouse with your chosen family, I’ll be right there — capturing the real stuff. The honest stuff. The stuff that makes your heart race when you look back years from now.

Why I Do What I Do


Because love deserves to be documented without filters, conditions, or expectations.


I started Art G Photography to create space for couples who don’t fit into the “traditional” wedding mold. As a proud queer business owner, I know how powerful it is to feel safe, affirmed, and celebrated — not just tolerated. That’s the experience I bring to every session.


This isn’t about stiff poses or Pinterest-perfect moments. It’s about the hand squeezes, the ugly cries, the way your person looks at you when you think no one’s watching. That’s the magic.



A Few Things You Should Know



🏳️‍🌈 This is a safe, inclusive space — for all love stories, identities, and bodies.


📸 I believe in comfort over perfection — so if you're camera-shy, you're in good hands.


✈️ I’ll go wherever your love takes you — Northeast Ohio and beyond.


🥃 Yes, bourbon and tacos are my love languages.


🐶 Bonus points if you bring your dog. Seriously.

"We didn’t just hire a photographer — we gained a hype man, a calm presence, and a new friend. Art made us laugh when we were anxious, helped us feel grounded when things got chaotic, and somehow captured every little moment we didn’t even realize was happening. These photos? They’re pure magic."

"Art is a freakin’ wizard. Our wedding was wild, emotional, and chaotic — and somehow, every single photo looks like a still from a movie. He caught the tears, the tequila shots, the dance floor chaos… and all the love in between."

"We eloped in a greenhouse with six guests and a whole lot of nerves. Art made it feel like the biggest celebration in the world. He captured the quiet in-between moments that meant everything to us. We cry every time we look at our gallery."

Clients Say

"From the first email, we knew we found our person. Art didn’t just take our photos — he felt our story. The laughs, the hugs, the happy tears… it’s all there. This was the best decision we made (besides marrying each other)."
