As a photojournalist I have worked for the Associated Press and was a staff member for newspapers in Indiana, Florida, Michigan and...wa and my wedding photography today is strongly influenced by my experience working in the photojournalism field.

In addition to my wedding coverage, I also freelance for the Courier-Journal in Louisville, Ky., mainly because it keeps me sharp and I love that type of work.

The two best compliments I've received from my couples are: "You became part of our family for the day," and "We barely noticed you...but you were everywhere!" This really covers the most important parts of my job - to capture all the important, fleeting moments of your day without intruding on them, and to make you comfortable enough with me and my camera to be able to do that.
I spent eight years as a photojournalist in SC, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. I've covered everything from hurricanes (ask me about the time I was trapped in my car) to stories on uninsured women fighting cancer. I started my photography career to change the world; I'm still doing that - one quiet, intimate moment at a time.
I document a maximum of 15 weddings per year, to be able to give each of my couples the personal attention they deserve. Their stories are beautiful, unique, and important, and deserve to be treated that way. Read More
