I learned the value of photographs as keepsakes at an early age.
As the youngest in a large family, I know my grandparents and many aunts and uncles only from their photographs. Upon buying my first camera in my early twenties, I began seeing in a whole new way. The fascination with photography redirected my schooling to learn all that I could about the craft. I have learned that in a creative calling I will never stop learning either.

I love being with people... Watching them having fun, watching them doing all the unique things that they do. I like to be in their environment, a place that has the most meaning to them. Capturing that on film has given me great satisfaction over the years.

When I photographed my first wedding. I did a wonderful job, grand enough to present to a wedding studio, who then hired me to photograph weddings for them. I did this for years, doing hundreds and hundreds of weddings, sharpening the saw, as they say. From that first wedding the candid documentary style was prevalent... the years spent working with traditional studios have helped me refine other aspects of wedding photography.
Now I deliver just what the bride and groom desire, the best of both styles.

In talking to you both about your plans and incorporating some of your personal style, we can make wonderful memories of your very special day.
