Photographer & owner of blkwlf photography

I never planned on being a wedding photographer, much like the narwhal never planned on being the unicorn of the sea; nevertheless I am here doing what I love and embracing the wonderful world of what it means to photograph and document two human beings and it’s pretty awesome.

I believe in blending surrealism with natural, beautiful nuanced storytelling. Never straying too far from honest imagery but also remembering that things are only impossible until they’re not. If you’re looking for something different you’re in the right place.

executive chef & owner of young acres

Meet the Chef - Born and raised in Sri Lanka, Tucky was exposed to a great array of spices and flavors. His parents were both excellent cooks and exposed them to a variety of flavors and cuisine. The passion for cooking stemmed from his mother, who taught him how to bake a cake. Once the seed was planted it took very little nuturing to fuel a passion for all things food and beverage.
