Wedding photography is a funny thing, it has as much to do with personality and personal relationships as it does artistic talent. Assuming the photography skills are stellar, it is often the relationships that define great wedding photography. After eight years of photographing weddings I'm still amazed at how well I get along with my couples, how much we have in common and how similar we view the wedding day. I'm blessed and thrilled about it and I end up with some wonderful friends (and images) along the way.

To describe the brides and grooms that hire me is to describe myself: relaxed and easy-going but kind of picky about what we like, particularly when it comes to the details. We look forward to spending time with our close friends and family and love to share our discoveries of great music, art, food and wine with them as well. An impromptu party is never too far off.

The wedding day is a time to celebrate, relax and enjoy the fun. We prefer to have photos that capture the day as it really looked vs. spend hours on posed photos. (Of course we must do some family photos but not too many.) We want images that capture the inner person we know our friends and family to be, not just their "photo faces".

I invite you to take another look at the Portfolio sections here & don't miss the navigation at the top of the page. There are many different events to browse through!
