For over 10 years I’ve honed my skills in photography, design and image processing. From humble beginnings developing my own 35mm film to cutting edge digital techniques, I have established a personal approach to this timeless art.
Although I’ve won a variety of awards and am one of the top photographers in my area I’ve been told that my unique blend of technique and emotional imagery is what sets me apart. My positive personality and commitment to their satisfaction is why they refer me long after their special day. In both work and play I find excitement in capturing life’s planned and unplanned moments. My attention to detail and creative insight help me create artistic memories that will last a lifetime.

I tend to mirror the energy that is around me. When the mood is subdued and romantic, I take on the roll of an unobtrusive professional. When the celebration kicks into high gear, I’ll deliver fast paced, high impact images.
My Approach To Photography:
Meaningful Imagery – I’ll take the time to get to know your friends and family. By understanding these relationships I can anticipate and capture key moments.
Custom & Original Art – I will always be the lead photographer and do not outsource the process. Each photograph and album is personally developed and designed by me.
Modern Techniques – I will utilize my unique and diverse skill sets to make your images the best they can be. In addition to documenting your event, I will usually spend an entire week adjusting images for color, exposure, and artistic style.
Timely Delivery – I understand how excited you’re going to be to see your wedding photography. I’ll be just as excited to show everything to you! Although I will take the time to get everything perfect, my personal promise to you is that you will receive your images within one month.
Attention To Detail – Memorable imagery is not created by simple point and shoot. I have spent many years studying dynamic lighting, composition, exposure, and image processing. I will go beyond the obvious to focus on the “little things” that help make the day special.
Professionalism – As I interact with guests, family and other vendors I will always conduct myself in a polite, respectful and professional manner. I will arrive well dressed, honor specific requests, and will work within location guidelines to the best of my ability.
Preparation – Whether you are looking for casual candids or a lot of formals, I believe that pre-wedding day planning help everything go smoothly. Instead of “just showing up” I will work with you to create a tenative timeline and a list of any important planned moments.
If my style and philosophy speak to you, I’d love an opportunity to get to know you better. Feel free to contact me any time.
