I always loved flowers growing up but never really gave that part of myself attention as it is not something encouraged for little boys in Grove Hill, Alabama. But love, it’ll change you! It’ll cause you to break past your self-made boundaries and grow. I met Kari Starks and we started dating in 2013. She loved flowers - specifically, yellow tulips. She became my reason to purchase flowers. We got married in 2016 and she then became my reason to arrange flowers. In 2017, I grew bold enough to share an arrangement on Instagram. And I’ve been designing ever since then. Planks & Pistils has flourished because of her love and support.

After picking up a photography camera back in 2010, I always was intrigued by video. I continued with photography until August 2016, when I switched my camera to video mode and started making videos.

I’ve since stopped taking photos and become fully immersed in creating wedding films ever since, leading to 5+ years filming weddings and 2 years photographing weddings prior. I’m committed every day to perfecting my craft, trying new techniques, and as any filmmaker knows, purchasing excessive amounts of new camera gear.
