When I photograph weddings, my goal is to create a beautiful record of your wedding day. My approach is to tell a story from beginning to end, photographing the entire event, including preparations, getting dressed, portraits, ceremony and reception. I work in an unobtrusive way, taking informal, natural portraits and spontaneous candids of you and your guests, in order to capture the emotion and beauty of your wedding day.

Photographs are one of the few things we have that help us connect to our pasts...and each other. I love the idea of capturing a moment in life that will be preserved forever. Whether at a beautiful location, a wedding or a family portrait session, my ultimate goal is to capture the essence of the place or the subjects that I photograph in an artful and sincere way.
