About

Hello, welcome and thank you for visiting! I have been Commissioned for weddings professionally full time since 1999 and have photographed more than 500 in my career! I can hardly believe that! Time flies...

Through my Commissions I have created hundreds of thousands of photographs and memories of immeasurable value, to both myself and the families whose lives I've been blessed to be a part of over the years. Photography has changed a lot from my when I began with film, but the idea behind the Wedding Commissions I've been shooting since I started is the same. Producing work that you want to hang in your home and be excited to show your guests is what I do. A friend of mine told me years ago that the gifts we are blessed with, we should share with others. This has been my life's work. For me, there is no formula, there is no script (except for the coordinators!) and ultimately there are always images given to us through my Commissions that become those priceless moments of life we all want to have and look back upon. Those looks that only you may know, you can see it all over our website. Please go to our Contact Us Page and send me an inquiry! Thank you for taking the time to read/view/visit my website and I hope to hear from you soon! Congratulations!
