I started my business with the idea of combining high standards of customer service and professionalism with my desire to photograph families and their histories. After photographing my first wedding in 2004, I knew this is what I wanted to be when I grew up.

Finding a wedding photographer who meets your specific needs is a daunting task. So, while you are searching websites trying to figure out who to meet with, take a moment to read what I do as a wedding photographer. Hopefully, soon you will be dialing the phone to schedule our initial meeting to discuss your details.

Before the wedding, I take
some time to get to know
the two of you during an
engagement session. Because
of my experience shooting
weddings and the knowledge
of my equipment, I not only get
the shots you expect but also
the one’s you don’t.
Throughout the day, I talk
to friends and family to get to
know who’s who and what’s
what. While a bride was
getting ready, I was chatting
with a bridesmaid who told
me the garter was the one the
bride’s mother had worn 25
years earlier. I called mom over
and had her hold the garter in
her hands. The bride never
knew I took the picture
until later. She cried.
