Shooting style:
Shooting for many different client's keeps my style fresh and unique. I don't repeat the same
canned shots over & over at each wedding. I approach each wedding as a unique opportunity to
be explored and interpreted. No two weddings are the same and neither should your wedding
photography. When you commission me to photograph your wedding, you can be assured of
artistic yet professional results!
I won't claim that you won't "even know I'm there", but my presence will be respectful and one
of comradery. Except for formals, I ask you to pretend that I'm not there. Your special day is
about you, not being directed by a photographer. My style is adaptive artistic journalism. I have
developed the ability to recognize the importance of the minutiae and the ability to capture it
with impact and grace.
I never book 2 wedding shoots on the same day and I limit myself to approximately 20 weddings
per year. This way I can approach each wedding fresh and not fall into a pattern of making the
same pictures wedding after wedding. Similar to the creative energy I draw on for my advertising
& commercial projects.
Philosophy:
Photographs are one of our most treasured possessions. You've probably heard the saying-
"If the house was on fire the 1st thing I would grab would be the family pictures."
I personally couldn't agree more. My photo of my wife, daughter, family & friends are priceless.
When I photograph your wedding, my responsibility goes far beyond making photographs, I am
preserving memories for you and future generations. I take this responsibility very seriously yet
approach the task with a light heart. While photography is my career, it is still fun and I would
not choose to do anything else. I believe we all do our best when we enjoy the work we are
engaged in.
