Your story... what an splendid way to start your journey together.
Why...
I love photos...
I always have.
At least as far back as I can remember. It seems they are a magical place, or maybe remind me of a magical place or moment in time. Yeah, a great moment in time - there, right there in front of me... in my hands. I love the feel of prints, the smell, the touch of paper - it's like holding history or maybe just a small window of it.
I'm always enchanted by the stories they tell. What are they thinking? Where have they been, what triumphs and loss have they lived? It's like you have a moment together, for a split second a connection is made and you're apart of their world. A wonderful world. A world full of joy, laughter, trials and pain. Somehow the magic is in the connection, or maybe it's the power to connect.
I love the journey they take me on, the places we've been, the memories that reside there, in the paper. I guess I love the stories they tell.
Let me tell yours...

What if we cancel our wedding or change our date after we've signed the contract?
Wedding retainers are non-refundable as I've committed the date to you and have turned away other weddings for your day. If you change your wedding date to another day I have open in the same calendar year, I'm happy to make the change for you at no charge.

Yes please. You can sit me wherever you like in the room and I'm not fussy, but I love food.
How long have you been photographing weddings?
I've been a full time wedding photographer since 1994 shooting film before it was the "hip thing to do". I've photographed hundreds of weddings and have the experience to ensure your day is fantastic.
Do you have backup equipment?
Yes, I always shoot on professional equipment and have backups in case something goes wrong.
Do you travel to destination weddings?
My bags are packed...
How do we choose the location for our engagement session?
Select a location that has meaning to you or history. Like where you met or a favorite place or restaurant. Or I always got some sweet locations up my sleeve.

““The photographer’s most important and likewise most difficult task is not learning to manage his camera, or to print. It is learning to see photographically... so that he can instantaneously translate the elements and values in a scene before him into the photograph he wants to make.”
