— About

Garrett is a Hudson Valley based Wedding and Portrait photographer.

I remember a quote I saw a long time ago, “You are the happy man.” What was the source of this wisdom you might ask? A great scholar or prophet…nope a fortune cookie! It might seem silly, but it stuck with me, so I pinned it to my bulletin board in my office. I still get a chuckle out of the phrasing of this enlightening piece of knowledge, the use of “the” rather than “a”. I know that I am not “the” happy man, but most definitely “a” happy man. Happy that I had a great childhood. Happy that I fell in love with a beautiful girl at 19. Happy that I made her my wife at 22. Happy that I beat cancer the same year. Happy that we have made a wonderful home together, and even more happy still, when we welcomed our daughter to the world in 2014.

Looking back at all that it kind of makes sense to me that I had a passion for photography throughout. It allowed me to capture little pieces of all that happiness, not just for myself, but for lots of others. Wether its a moment at a wedding, or a child’s smile, or a dancer’s grace…it’s happiness captured. And I love it!

My past work as a photographer has taken me on all types of adventures and given me all kinds of experiences. Experiencing those adventures and all the connections made along they way, are huge part of what make me “a happy man.” I cherish the opportunity to capture some of your happiness for you.
